What is a Profile Name? (Users and Profiles)
Each full business member can have one, or many, profiles. You might typically have one for each of your businesses, or perhaps one for each aspect of your business. Your profile name can be anything you like, and isn't really important until you have more than one profile. Most members give their profiles the same name as their company, or use it to describe a particular product or service they offer. If you look at my own profiles you will see my default profile displayed. You can then see my other business interests in the 'My Other Profiles' box towards the right of the page. Each profile can be indexed by search engines so, for example, there is a chance that anyone searching for website transalation, website marketing etc. might come across one of my profiles.

How do users check how much commission they have made through referring a friend? (Referrals / Links)
Currently, we contact members directly when they are due a referral commission payment as a result of referring paying members to the business-scene website. Shortly, we hope to launch a page where you can check your own referral commissions

I entered my business profile under the 'business support' section of the directory. It is also relevant for another section. Is it possible to have the same profile in both sections? (Directory)
Each Business Profile can only be assigned to one trade category, which means it can only appear in one section of the Directory. If your business offers products and services in several different areas, you could consider creating a different business profile for each. This way, you could focus each profile on a specific aspect of your business, and assign different trade categories to each one. You can add additional business profiles beneath the same username by going to Edit My Options and choosing Create more profiles for your other businesses.

I am having problems uploading my photo and logo to the business-scene website. Please could you tell me what I am doing wrong? (Users and Profiles)

What is the relationship between Telegraph Business Club and Business Scene? (General)
Telegraph Business Club is owned by Telegraph Media Group, but Business Scene is not. Telegraph Business Club wanted to run more business events in locations around the UK and simultaneously operate an interactive, online business community. It decided that it was quickest and most cost-effective to do this through Business Scene, which supplies these services to Telegraph Business Club. Business Club staff are directly involved, however, in managing many elements of the Community website and attend many of the Business Scene events.

How do I get a copy of your logo added to my website? I have seen that other companies have done this and would like to do the same. (Referrals / Links)
If you go to http://www.business-scene.com/linktobusinessscene.php you will be able to choose which logo you want. Then you just need to copy the text in the box alongside your chosen image, and paste the HTML into your website at the place where you want the link added. If you do not have direct access to your own website you will need to pass the code on to your Web Masters or Developers.

Don't forget to point the link at your preferred Region / Community / Industry within Business-Scene, and to add your Referrer Id to the link if you want to gain Referral Income from the visitors that you send to Business-Scene who subsequently pay for a Business Profile.

I have noticed that my Trade Category does not exist when I search the Directory. Is it possible to add more categories? (Directory)
