Referron fixes  v2 


Connect page


“New contact”

“Send business card”

“Connect”


Should default to this screen 



Connect page should be on one page - currently you have to move up and down  to connect 


Message - should be included in sms to user


sms (and ideally email ) should say

Hey (name) great to connect. Looking forward to collaborate. (Message) Please download my business card to your phonebook https://members.referron.com/bsivc regards (user)


There should be a button to identify whether you want to send to recipient or to save to phone book 



When press connect button - this gets added as a connection and to activity summary 


Would be cool to have a template button that goes to a series of templates for message (same for referral message) (next stage) 






Hamburger index should be as follows 





My profile





Photo goes upside down - needs to be fixed

There should be a line for linkedinprofile -

This should upload your business card https://members.referron.com/bsivc



Connection page 





Add new connection - link to connect /send business card page - 


Should be cached for speed with a button to sync to server 


This should be updated with new connections and referrals (it currently does not do that ) - is it cached?



Business card summary


Is good for now - as connections have last 20 transactions - refer goes to connections page 


Refer page 


Templates for message - cool to have 

Need to have choice to send to seeker or send to business 








When you refer - it goes to connections page





 - new contact - linked to send business card 


When referring from phonebook


Change add new contact to add to referral 







Add to activity summary

When a referral is made - add sender and business to activity summary 



Connections on the go (game changer)

Next phase


People in room press “connections on the go “- and those that have also pressed connections on the go - will be populated on a list - people can then add those connections to referron .... this would be added to connection summary (game changer)


Bump - if they have activated connections on the go / they can bump phones to add each other (linked use qr code - not great experience) 




Rating and Search function for people -cool (next phase)


Monetising activity report - premium version - (next phase)


Once app is good - when someone signs up - option to go to phonebook


“Hey name, click here to download referron and upload your profile - so I can rate you and refer you business .... best (user)
