Yes you can. Even though we will continue to optimize Yukel to be used by businesses, we will always keep our goals in mind. And that is to connect people with an interest to exchange. This does not mean that you need to be a business owner.
When you use the Yukel matchmaker, all the benefits of it will also be for you. However, in every account we have integrated an in-depth profile which is important for businesses to share. This will give others a good insight with whom they may want to be doing business. This may not be relevant for you. But you may use this opportunity to make public what you feel is relevant for others to know about you.
One other feature we have included is called; Partners. Here you search our database on names of organizations and people, and you can invite people that you think may find Yukel useful. After you have find someone of your interest, you can request a partnership. After they have accepted your request then you have more options to collaborate with them, like sharing (your) requests.
Organizations are not always established for business, but may have members with the same interest. Think for example about religious institutions, or sport clubs. Yukel also helps you to find people with the same interest. To give you an example; you may want to connect with sprinters from Ethiopia to form a bobsled team. Your Request may look something like this: I would like to meet sprinters from Ethiopia that have an interest to form a bobsled team. Anyone that saved a matchword written in that request, and their selected location, will get a notification. And it is free, no limits on matchwords or requests. Create as many requests as you want until you are successful.
As you understand from the question, you can collaborate with colleagues. This is commonly done with the partner functionality which you access via the start page. However if multiple people want to follow up on the same Request, (for example; to negotiate) and they use multiple accounts, then that’s not possible.
We have enabled importing and sharing a Request, but an offer is made individually. We are thinking of ways to create groups to manipulate the same Request but we have not decided on the best way to go.
At the moment, for instance for big projects, it may be an option to create an account for each project. You can then share the login details among your colleagues.
There are no special things you need to do after your first sign up to start using your account. You can simply open the Yukel Request feature and in the menu you open; All requests.
You can also start searching the requests being made already from your start page. Click on Matchmaker and see how easy we have made it to get notifications about the things that matter to you.
It is also very important that you complete your profile page. It is a way to make you stand out from the rest, and we allow you to redirect visitors to your own website. We wish you much success using Yukel. For more support you can always visit the Yukel Help center.
If you better want to understand the reason of our existence, then we encourage you to read our mission statement.
At Yukel we realise us very well that the majority of our users does not have an environment where they all have access to the same currency and payment options that exist today. Therefore the decision is simple; Yukel will be free, for ever and for everyone. We will not change our promise that we made when you signed up your account.
If you like Yukel and you want to help us with our mission and keep the servers running, then you can make a donation
In the meantime we will also develop other meaningful ways to finance our existence.One of the most important things in any kind of business is accurate and reliable information. First of all, your profile must appear reliable. Give potential buyers and suppliers accurate information. Write at least one Question & Answer to introduce yourself. Remember, business is about people. It is people who will make a decision to be in business with you.
We do not verify all corporate documents that will be uploaded, because we believe that you can do it also, and you can do it better.
We are currently developing a system that users can rate an account and leave a review. These reviews will not be anonymous.
Whenever possible, use our messenger service and chat with them, or pay them a visit. And when you do not have a good feeling about it; leave it.
