WeMeUs was founded to help professionals easily organize, manage and retain the contacts and relationships they acquire and build throughout their careers - their "relationship IP" and an increasingly important part of the value they bring to their jobs and businesses.
WeMeUs is NOT a social network - our web-based software services help users manage their networks and all data is private.
Our core services are free and enable users to easily manage their many contacts and relationships across multiple address books - email, webmail, business and social networks, groups and more - where they are organized for quick and easy retrieval. We're focused on productivity, so WeMeUs automates much of the repetitive work that goes with networking - data entry, follow-up and ongoing maintenance. As a result, our users spend more of their time with people and less on processing the information.
WeMeUs members can track the context and history of their relationships with important contacts, including first meeting place, who referred, interest and shared interests, special dates and unlimited tagging of contacts for quick and easy recall.
Our premium services build on that foundation to help professionals who want to generate more business through their networks. Our initial services provide integration of lead capture, tracking and management with personalised small-group email marketing tools for contact education, lead nurturing and customized reach-out. We also automate many repetitive marketing tasks.
We launched our premium services in July, and continue to add to those services and to our
free features to make WeMeUs even more useful. WeMeUs Introductory and Advanced Webinars are
offered every week, generally on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Webinar times and a detailed
schedule are on the
WeMeUs Webinars page.
