Imagine this: Your team is planning a trip and wants to make the most of their time there. Wouldn’t it be great to have an up-to-date list of all your connections in the area—from founders to potential LPs—right at your fingertips? With GetroConnect auto-update lists, you can leverage the power of your network wherever you go.
What are Location-Based Lists?
Using the location filter in your GetroConnect module, you can create a dynamic, auto-updating contact lists built around a specific location and any other criteria you select. These lists allow your team to see exactly who in your extended network is based in a particular city or region. Better yet, these lists stay current as new contacts are added to your network or as existing contacts update their location details.
How to Create a Location-Based List
Creating a location-based list in GetroConnect is fast and intuitive. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Search by Location: Simply search for the location name—like “New York”—to pull up all relevant connections.
Add Additional Filters: Narrow your search by using criteria like years of experience, job title, or current role. For example, you might filter for "10+ years of experience" and "decision-makers" to ensure you’re identifying senior leaders.
Create and Name Your List: Click the “Create List” button, and name your list—for example, “New York Connections: 10+ Years Experience.”
Auto-Update in Real Time: Your list will automatically update whenever a new contact with a matching profile is added to your network or whenever a contact changes their location to no longer fit your criteria.
How Your Team Can Leverage Location-Based Lists
Location-based lists are a game-changer for planning trips, attending conferences, or simply staying connected with people in key markets. Here’s how you can make the most of this feature:
Plan Smart Meetings: Traveling to a new city? Use your location-based list to identify key people to meet while you’re there. Share the list with your team so they can suggest connections worth meeting.
Keep LPs and Investors Engaged: For teams looking to strengthen relationships with LPs, these lists can highlight high-value contacts in a city where partners are traveling.
Portfolio Company Support: Share location-based lists with founders from your portfolio, giving them a head start on connecting with investors, advisors, or potential clients.
Sharing Made Simple
Once you’ve created a location-based list, sharing it with team members is seamless. Here’s how it works:
Generate a Shareable Link: Click to create a shareable link to the list.
Send it to Team Members: Post the link in Slack, email, or other communication channels with a simple note like, “Here’s a list of everyone in our network currently based in this city.”
Collaborate on Next Steps: Team members can review the list and flag any key individuals to prioritize for outreach.
