The recognition badge called Connector and the paid membership plan also called Connector are two separate, unrelated things that just happen to share a name.
Genius Networking has two different features that happen to share the name Connector, and they're worth telling apart.
This is a recognition badge, a milestone label you earn as your recognition points grow. It reflects your activity in the community, things like attending events and making introductions.
This is a paid membership tier, entirely separate from recognition. It's about how many new matches your subscription includes each month and per event, not how active you've been.
Earning the Connector badge doesn't change your membership plan, and being on the Connector membership plan doesn't automatically give you the Connector badge. They're unrelated, they just share a name.
If I'm on the Connector membership plan, do I automatically get the Connector badge?
No, the badge is earned through recognition points and activity, not your subscription tier.
Does earning the Connector badge upgrade my membership?
No, badges are a recognition feature and have no effect on your billing or plan.
