In this short testimonial, the speaker from PR Bunker recounts how re‑engaging with the Alignable platform after a decade of intermittent use led to a $25,000, three‑week project. After receiving a referral link, he logged back in, reconnected with a former contact he hadn’t spoken to in ten years, and within days secured the high‑value contract. Impressed by the results, he cancelled his LinkedIn subscription, purchased a year‑long premium Alignable subscription, and now boasts about 700 direct connections and over 20,000 potential customers or referral partners that are just one introduction away. He highlights the platform’s ability to surface influential founders (Eric Groves, Venkat) and emphasizes how easily he could request dozens of referrals, positioning Alignable as a catalyst for revenue and network growth.

3 weeks later, he's sending me a project for $25 grand for 3 weeks worth of work. So prior to joining the company, um, I've been on the platform for probably a decade, on and off, on and off. And I was, for my company, which is the PR Bunker, I was prospecting for nonprofits in Maine, a very specific type of executive director in that, in that area. Uh, reach out to a gentleman who said, hey, look, I have a PR guy, but I'd love to send you referrals on Alignable. I'm like, oh man, I think I have an Alignable account. You know, he sent me the link, logged back in. I was like, oh geez, I remember this thing. So I started to play with it. And then within a day or two, reconnected with a gentleman that I haven't talked to in about a decade. We started talking, do a one-on-one. 3 weeks later, he's sending me a project for $25 grand for 3 weeks worth of work. 5 figures, 3 weeks. And I said to myself, who else is here? Former clients. Oh. Former colleagues. I'm like, man. So I, and Eric Groves, who, who's our CEO, and him and Venkat, the 2 guys that founded this thing. Now imagine if you knew who those people were connected to and how to untap that network pretty quickly. And that's what Alignable has done. And so just within a 2 or 3 week, you know, situation where I re-engaged the platform, reconnected with my, my contact, signed that, that project, and from there it was just a catalyst. I literally stopped paying for LinkedIn, put the credit card down for Alignable, bought a premium subscription for the year, and it's been gold ever since. So, In terms of a revenue number, in terms of the quality of my network, it was instrumental. Uh, the fact that I can meet literally between the 700 connections I currently have now on the platform, there are over 20,000 potential customers and/or referral partners that are a single introduction away. In the 9 minutes you and I have been talking, I could have asked for 40 referrals. It's that easy.
