How does the member golden ticket process work?
  • Members should visit www.fore-business.com/goldenticket to order a pack of ten golden tickets.
  • The Golden Tickets are used as a marketing tool and conversation starter for the members business.
  • The tickets will be shipped within 4 days of placing the order
  • If the member meets a new contact they will write the details of their prospective member onto the back of the ticket.
  • When the member has access to the internet they will go to www.fore-business.com/goldenticket and enter the details of their prospective members details; first name, surname, email, company name and group name
  • Of course the member can simply go to the www.fore-business.com/goldenticket and enter the details of their prospective member without using the Golden Ticket.
  • This form will also ask for the member’s full email address in order to automatically register them on our system.
  • On submission of the new on-line prospective member form, an email will be sent to the member thanking them for nominating their contact to take advantage of our FREE month offer.
Communication and joining process
JOINING PROCESS

Upon submission of the Member Refers New Member Form, an email is sent to the prospective member with a link asking them to submit their details via an application form and receive their first month FREE TRIAL. Should they not complete the form within 24 hours a sequence of reminder emails will be sent to them over a 10 day period.

Reminder emails to click the link to trial membership will be sent, 24 hours, 4 days, and 7 days after the form has been submitted.

Should the prospective new member not complete the form after 7 days of form submission an email is sent to the member asking them to contact their prospective new member. This email will include the full details of their prospective member to make it easy for them to email or call their contact.

Once the application form has been fully completed they will receive their first month FREE TRIAL, which includes their group networking event, 18 holes, 4xball, access to our social media channels and our exclusive member App

The new member will be able to back date membership to the start of the month or select any future membership start date (always on the first day of any given month).

The new member will only be able to select “Standard Membership” for their first month FREE TRIAL.

No FEES are required upfront. Bank details must be provided to set up the Direct Debit which can be cancelled or refunded under the “FORE” Business Money Back Guarantee.

An email welcoming them to the community will be sent to them within 24 hours of submitting the application form. An email will be sent to the Ambassador Team as soon as the application form has been submitted.

An email will be sent to the referring member thanking them for referring a new member to the community and confirm they will be issued with a £50 credit against their account on the first week of the 4th month of the new members joining date. The Credit will be used to reduce the DD payment due on Month 5.

If the new member you have referred is in notice at the time the Credit is due on your account then we will only apply the Credit upon receipt of all membership fees due over the notice period

ATTENDEE LIST

The new member will be shown on the attendee lists (and future Ambassador Control Panel) as a member. VIPS will no longer be shown on the Attendee Lists.

MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS

The new member will be charged as a default for Standard Membership on the first day of the second month along with their one off joining fee of £169 plus VAT – should they not cancel.

Should the member wish to upgrade to Flexi or Ultimate membership they can request to do so from the second month.

The new member will receive their new member pack approximately 5 days of “FORE” Business receiving their one off joining fee (at the start on the second month).

EXECUTING THE “FORE” BUSINESS MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

The new member will have until the end of their trial month or 5 days from their group’s trial month golf event, whichever comes later, to cancel their membership and request a return of fees (if any paid).
