Impact lets you report a real outcome with a connection, like a confirmed meeting, an introduction, or a new client, and it counts toward recognition points only after that person confirms it happened too.
Impact is where real outcomes with your connections get recognized. If a relationship on Genius Networking led to something concrete, this is where you report it.
Reporting a success story doesn't award recognition points right away. The other person named in it needs to confirm it happened too before it counts. This prevents duplicate or one-sided claims from earning points.
There's also a simple safeguard against reporting the same kind of outcome with the same person too often in a short period, to keep success stories genuine rather than something to game.
Do I get points as soon as I report a success story?
No, the other person named in it has to confirm it happened before it counts toward recognition points.
What if the other person never confirms it?
It won't count toward recognition points until they do. Confirmation from both sides is what makes it count.
Can I report the same kind of outcome with the same person repeatedly?
There's a safeguard limiting how often you can report the same kind of outcome with the same person in a short period, to keep things genuine.
What kinds of outcomes can I report?
A confirmed meeting, a helpful introduction, a working collaboration, becoming referral partners, or gaining a client.
