Come visit the 'gaff' and have your say on the SR program

"Friends, Supers, my fellow giffgaffers, lend me your eyes" (sorry Shakespeare fans)

Since joining the team Laura and I have made a point of having regular discussions on the Super Recruiter program, what works currently and how it could be improved. We are very much aware that it hasn’t changed much since its inception and that there are certainly areas for improvement. I’m sure you will all agree.

Before you all jump in with all your great ideas….

Laura and I have our own ideas on how to improve the program. This is only a small part of it, however. In order to get a thorough understanding of how best to move forward with the Super Recruiter program we need to get the thoughts of the stars of the show, you, our Supers. Therefore, we have decided to bring a select few of you into the ‘gaff’ for a workshop.

At the bottom of the post are the dates to choose from for the workshop. If you are interested and are free on either of the dates, please let us know by voting. For these workshops to be successful I think the first one needs to have a small number of people. If these dates don’t suit or you miss out this time around do not worry as we will be holding a workshop after the new year too.

It’s going to cost me so much to get to the gaff (in Uxbridge) I hear you say....

We’ve discussed this and we appreciate that some of you may have to come from far and wide within the UK, so we will be refunding reasonable travel costs (what is considered reasonable will be at our discretion) so don’t let that put you off.

The SR programme changes a couple of years ago were an error, go back to first principles

I prefer quality over quantity in all things in life!

The reward structure is bang on the money once you get passed the apprentice stage. But keeping that stage is harder at this present time.

I think a combination of the old and new rewards structure would be very beneficial and self promoting for all Super Recruiters!!!

Kind regards,
Scott Liddle. ✌️🙏✌️

I would come if we can discuss the adult content as will I have been trying to get the best from gaff but this matter is something that needs to be addressed there are more ways to get it changed to. I don't know why it wasn't change with the update do you agree

rory_gg

jason1973tess This is one for the main Community if I'm honest. Did you submit any ideas you may have to the Labs?

https://labs.giffgaff.com/

To the best of my knowledge, from when I worked as an agent , the current removal of adult content is a process employed by Telefonica but we would feed back to them via the labs and then it would be their call.

Cool! Look forward to it!

Hey Supers,

I'm sorry to say to those of you who wanted to come into the gaff on these days but unfortunately, we will have to reschedule the workshops for the new year.

The main reason for the reschedule is that we just didn't get the numbers we wanted in the poll to get a fair representation for all Supers for the workshop to be affective. We want all levels of Supers from all 3 tiers (apprentice, expert and master) to come to the workshops so we get a fair reflection of everyone's opinions.

What we will do instead then is after the new year put forward some new dates. One will be at the weekend and one will be may be either a midweek day or evening. I will post in the SR forum giving everyone a fair amount of time to see the post. For those who don't use the forum and to encourage everyone to use the forum we will run a comms via email about the visit to the gaff.

rory_gg that's a good idea as it gives a broader chance for members to come .

Is this not something that could have been done using video calling?

josup63 Is this not something that could have been done using video calling

As giffgaff doesn’t support conference calls, and part of the idea is to have a discussion with SRs of all levels of SR together, I don’t see how a video call (one-to-one) would replace a Discussion round a table!

Awesomeness! 🙂

josup63

jesi23 I meant a video conference call using the likes of skype as a group call rather than a 1 to 1

jason1973tess

jesi23 I realise that giffgaff don't have the video calling but there's such a thing called WhatsApp I know really what 80% people got WhatsApp plus it's free
giffgaff need to stop ignoring us with this adult content cos we've been on about this I've been with giffgaff 7 or 8 year still getting nowhere are timer stop messing about get it sorted don't forget you have to take a box to prove that you're 16 to earn money so why can't they do that with the adult content of the joke

josup63

bluemoonbaz exactly what I'm suggesting

stephenpperry

Not going to lie I find the SR program a tad confusing. It says people I’ve referred have made their second or third top up. But when they made their first I got £5 straight to my PayPal, but for these I’ve seen nothing. I originally thought it would all just be payback points. Then I thought “oh no this is special and gets paid out immediately to PayPal” and now I just don’t know what to think! Haha!

mcilwraith

some of us apprentices dont get any recruits at all now since the banners disappeared
so why bother

ijustcantdoit

mcilwraith yes I miss the banners

rory_gg

mcilwraith ijustcantdoit bobrobinson I have asked about this for you all. This option will come back, however, the teams involved with implementing the banner option on the community are working through a backlog of work so it will take time. As this platform is relatively new there is so much work going into fixing and improving it. In the mean time I would advise using the share your page URL.
