Run immediately after 4Networking events, with the audience “warmed up” with a
4Sight slot from Profile Builder on “how to set up your online profile”. This provides

to do it for me”.
Then, at 10.05am, in an adjacent room, the Profile Builder Clinic:
• A photographer in place to provide a cost-effective portrait service
• A member of the Profile Builder team also there, having run the 4Sight slot, to
control and take orders
• Demo of the Graphic Portrait
• Rolling out across 4Networking, using 4Networking breakfast events
