GCEHow GCE Connect Membership Works
Membership is a governed business Circle experience — not merely an account or subscription. Apply, get reviewed, activate, receive Circle allocation, then discover professionals and manage referrals in the GCE app.
The governed journey
Account ≠ Membership application. Application ≠ approval. Payment ≠ activation. Activation ≠ Circle allocation. Circle allocation ≠ referral guarantee.
Step 1
Apply
Submit a GCE Connect Membership application with your business specialisation, optional Tags, and geography preferences. A GCE account is not the same as Membership.
Step 2
Review
Operations reviews your application. Payment, when enabled, is separate from approval and does not auto-activate Membership.
Step 3
Activation
Approved Membership becomes active through governed verification — you cannot self-activate or assign your own Circle seat.
Step 4
Circle eligibility & allocation
Active Membership makes you eligible for Circle seat allocation. Allocation is a separate step — activation does not guarantee an immediate seat.
Step 5
Structured Circle experience
Join a capacity-managed Circle (up to 40 members) organised across four GC Power Sectors with regular meetings.
Step 6
Professional discovery
Use the in-app Circle directory with GC Power Sector, specialisation, and Tag filters to find relevant professionals inside your Circle.
Step 7
App-based referrals
Official referrals are created and tracked through GCE Lead Assist in the app — not via WhatsApp or verbal exchange in meetings.

GC Power Sector, specialisation & Tags
Marketing materials may refer to “Category” — in the product this maps to GC Power Sector placement within your Circle, plus your business specialisation and optional Tags. Together they power Circle directory search and relevant professional discovery — without guaranteeing matches, referrals, or nationwide access.

After Circle allocation, members create and manage business referrals through GCE Lead Assist — Sent, Received, and status tracking in the app. Referrals are not guaranteed; verbal or WhatsApp exchange is not the official workflow.
