After the Meeting

After your ELITORO meeting ends, there are important steps to complete. These steps are required to finalize the connection process.

Required: Rating Your Connection​

After every meeting, you must rate the other person. This is mandatory and cannot be skipped.

Why Rating is Required​

  • Maintains network quality
  • Helps other members make decisions
  • Provides valuable feedback
  • Supports the matching algorithm

Rating Prompt​

If you have pending ratings:

  • You'll see a rating prompt when logging in
  • You must complete ratings before accessing other features
  • The rating page guides you through the process

What You Rate​

You provide two separate ratings:

Quality Rating (1-5 stars)

  • Meeting preparation
  • Professional conduct
  • Conversation quality
  • Punctuality and reliability

Value Rating (1-5 stars)

  • Relevance of their expertise
  • Helpfulness during the meeting
  • Potential for collaboration
  • Overall value provided

Adding Comments​

Optionally, you can add written feedback:

  • Keep it constructive
  • Focus on specific observations
  • Comments are confidential

Rating Confidentiality​

  • The other person doesn't see your specific rating
  • Only aggregate ratings appear on profiles
  • Comments are for ELITORO use only

Deciding: Like or Pass​

After rating, decide if you want to match:

"Like" (Want to Match)​

Click "Like" if you:

  • Want to exchange contact information
  • See potential for a relationship
  • Would like to stay connected

"Pass" (No Match)​

Choose to pass if:

  • The connection wasn't a fit
  • You don't see ongoing value
  • You prefer not to share contact info

Mutual Decision​

A match only happens if both parties "like" each other:

  • If both like → Match created
  • If one passes → No match
  • Neither knows the other's specific choice

What Happens With a Match​

If you both "like" each other:

  1. Match is created - Appears in your Matches section
  2. Contact info shared - Based on privacy settings
  3. Full profile visible - Including full name
  4. Ongoing relationship - Stay connected outside ELITORO

Learn more about What Are Matches.

What Happens Without a Match​

If there's no mutual "like":

  • No match is created
  • No contact information is shared
  • The connection ends
  • Both parties move on

This is normal and happens frequently.

Timeline​

Rating Deadline​

  • Complete your rating as soon as possible
  • Pending ratings may block access to features
  • Don't delay—the other person may be waiting

No Expiration​

There's no strict deadline, but:

  • Timely ratings are appreciated
  • Pending ratings accumulate
  • Complete them to maintain full access

Tips for After Meetings​

Immediate Actions​

  1. Complete your rating right away
  2. Make your match decision
  3. Take notes if needed (for yourself)

Reflection Questions​

Ask yourself:

  • Was this a valuable conversation?
  • Could this lead to collaboration?
  • Would I want to speak again?
  • Did they deliver on their profile promise?

Be Honest​

  • Rate accurately, not generously
  • Your honest feedback helps everyone
  • Don't feel obligated to "like"

Next Steps​

After completing these steps:

  • Check your Matches section for new matches
  • Continue with other connections
  • Set more availability for future meetings
