Questions & Answers

What is the Shared Vision Network?
Shared Vision Network was formed in 1991 by Judy Ann Foster to empower members to grow highly profitable, integrity-based businesses and realize their full potential.  We are dedicated to improving the personal and business lives of our members and their communities, customers, and business partners.

Shared Vision Network is a membership organization that supports business owners to meet, network and share sales referrals on the Internet and at live events. Members are professional business entrepreneurs that want to contribute, as well as benefit, from the Membership.

Member activities include live and tele-training from nationally recognized speakers, authors, and business educators, dynamic networking events at local chapters, wealth-building educational workshops, on-line business community, internet discussion groups, fundraising, social events, business coaching, and an internet-based business University with resources geared to help you improve in your professional and personal life.

What are the benefits of Shared Vision Network besides just sharing leads?
We are creating more than a website that is to be used for posting sales referrals - we build communities. Each Shared Vision Network community has a life of its own where members are encouraged to use each others products or services, pass sales leads, share industry expertise and meet online and at local networking events. Our goal is to grow each chapter with quality members that work together in harmony. In addition, our Area Directors are a resource that can be used by Shared Vision Network members to offer suggestions, log what is working and what we can improve upon, provide general feedback and discuss opportunities for its members. We feel that the benefits of Shared Vision Network will be an integral part on how business leaders grow their business and network their way to success.

What are the costs to join Shared Vision Network?

When does my membership start?
Once you sign up, your membership is activated immediately. 

When does my membership end?
Global memberships end when you opt out.  All other memberships end one year from your sign up date. 

What do I do if I start receiving spam from a member or if I see non-members participating on the website?
Contact us immediately at info@sharedvisionnetwork.com. This is a high integrity community. It is each members responsibility to help Shared Vision Network maintain the integrity of the network. We will contact the member and enforce our policies and procedures. 

If I become a member of Shared Vision Network, will I be the only member representing my respective business or industry?
No. We know by experience that the “Law of Attraction” works in everyone's benefit. You will attract to your site those members who resonate with how you represent yourself and the essence of you. This is no shortage of referrals in the network. The more you give the more you will receive. Referrals will come to you as people see your presence on the site, listen to your audio clip, meet you at live events and through your giving referrals.

Are all member-to-member interactions performed online, or are there additional face-to-face meetings at a predetermined time and place?
Shared Vision Network Members meet at live events, over the phone, in chat rooms, in virtual meetings, through e-mail, on tele-seminars, in master mind groups, in coaching sessions, in mentoring sessions, and on bulletin boards.  What ever medium you prefer you will find members to meet with you.

May I represent more than one business in the network?
Yes, as long as you pay an additional fee for each business that you would like to represent.

May I become a member of more than one Chapter?
Yes.   

Will I have to renew my membership annually (every twelve months), or will my credit card be billed automatically?
Your credit card will be billed for the annual membership renewal price automatically, unless you direct us not to renew your membership. You will be notified well in advance, via E-mail, that membership renewal is coming so that you will be given the opportunity to cancel your membership if you so desire.

If I cancel my membership, may I re-join the Chapter at a later date?
Yes, as long as you were in good standing when you left.

If I am currently a member of Shared Vision Network, and I wish to leave the Network may I transfer my membership to a colleague?
No. Shared Vision Network memberships are not transferable.

How long can I be a member?
As long as you are in good standing with the other members of Shared Vision Network and abide by the chapter's policies and rules, your membership is infinite. We encourage our members to build long-lasting relationships that are built on trust and mutual respect.

What do I do if I don't see my industry under the category list?
