After the official update of the EUcalls platform in April, our database took a big leap forward. Within just a semester more than 7.000 people registered their organizations in EUcalls. All of these new additions gave us the opportunity to collect the data we needed to make even more improvements in our features and increase the range of our services.
Apart from our services, we were also given the opportunity to explore the needs and preferences of our subscribers in all things related to EU programmes. With this article, we are going to give you a clear view of what our users want when they are looking for partners through the EUcalls platform. That way you will get a clear guide of what you need to be looking for and at the same time, how you will be able to appeal to potential future partners.
1. Experience
Who does not want a partner with experience? Everyone needs someone that they can trust will be able to help them implement their project ideas.
In the Eucalls platform, you can show off your own experience by completing your profile, to make sure that you are going to let other people know what you have done so far. Simultaneously, when you are looking for a partner for your own projects, always watch out for people with experience.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with choosing a partner that will not have that much experience. After all, everyone has to start somewhere. But prioritize your projects to choose the right partners for each one!
2. Expertise
Similar to experience, expertise is also very important. Some organizations only focus on specific types of actions that could require specific skills, knowledge, and competencies form the implementing organizations. So if you are aiming at implementing a project under a specific sector, you will want to search for organizations and potential partners with expertise in that sector.
At the same time, you will want to show off your expertise as well. If you know that you have implemented projects or that you have expertise under a specific sector, make sure that you will also add that, very clearly, when you complete your Eucalls profile. Let other people know what you can do!
3. Reputation
What is the first thing you are going to click on after you have read the basic information of an organization in their profile? The answer is simple. The hyperlink leading back to their website. You will want to find even more information than what they might give out, to make sure that they have a good reputation in terms of collaborating with others. You will not want to just ask anyone to work with you.
Make sure that your own profile is going to be well updated and add a link that will lead potential partners to your website or any proof of your reputation. Sometimes a good reputation can make up for lack of experience.
4. Engagement
Think about it. While searching through the eucalls.net database, which organizations are most likely to catch your eye? The ones that have no engagement or interaction with the platform at all or the ones that declare their interest and make their presence know to everyone?
You will want someone with active engagement. Therefore if you want to be chosen by other organizations, make sure that you will show off your engagement as well. Spend some time every other day to check out all the latest calls uploaded in the Eucalls platform and declare your interest. Let organizations see that you are an active partner.
5. Premium Users
According to our data, premium users are much more likely to be contacted, than free users. Being a premium user means that you are willing to invest in the platform and the EU calls because you know that by working hard you will get your revenue back.
Apart from that, the eucalls.net team promotes premium user profiles. As a result, if you have a completed profile, if you are declaring your interest and if you are a premium user, your chances of being selected as a partner through our platform triples.
These are the five engaging qualities that every Eucalls subscriber is looking for when they are searching for a partner through the eucalls.net database. Make sure that you are going to fit all these credentials and we can guarantee that the engagement with your profile and the partner requests to join big-budget EU Programmes are going to increase!
