WottleDo Code of Conduct

The mission of WottleDo is to encourage ethical and effective networking and referral behaviour. All WottleDo subscribers agree to comply with the WottleDo Code of Conduct

  1. Subscribers must act with integrity at all times
  2. Subscribers must follow generally accepted good practice guidelines in relation to their business development and networking activities
  3. Subscribers must not abuse the facilities to send notification and WottleReward invite messages to uploaded contacts. It is the subscriber's responsibility to comply with any data protection, anti-spamming or other laws which may be applicable
  4. Subscribers must not become WottleContacts with other Wottlers until there is a good relationship already established
  5. Do not abuse a Watcher's generosity by sending too many Watching Briefs
  6. Only Watch a Wottler if you are seriously interested in keeping up with them
  7. With regard to WottleRewards, subscribers are urged to adhere to these guidelines:
    • Only make a referral where you have a sufficient level of confidence and trust in the Offeror.
    • Be open and 'transparent' about the existence of WottleRewards. Notify any referred contact that a WottleReward might be made in relation to the referral. This is a requirement of many governing bodies which regulate the activities of professional service organisations
    • Do not pass on the cost of a WottleReward by charging your customer more
    • Your reputation depends on a good referral, and a good referral depends on your good reputation. Do not let a WottleReward damage your integrity
    • Do not feel guilty about receiving a WottleReward if that is what a Wottler wants to do!
