How Sabi Network works

  1. A member puts you forward. Usually on WhatsApp, from the chat they already have with you. Nobody adds themselves.
  2. You say yes, and write your own profile. The invitation is the consent. Decline and the profile is deleted.
  3. People who have worked with you sign what they say. A recommendation carries a name, a sentence, and a year.

Questions people ask

What does “sabi” mean?
Pidgin for “to know”, from the Portuguese saber. To sabi somebody is to know them well enough to say so.
Who can join Sabi Network?
It is invitation only. A member puts you forward, and nothing about you is published until you accept and write your own profile.
Do I need an email address?
No. A WhatsApp number is enough to have an account and to sign back in.
Is my phone number public?
Only what you choose to show on your profile. Hidden channels are never sent to the page at all.
Can I be removed?
At any time. Declining an invitation is remembered, so you will not be put forward again.
Why a count of recommendations rather than a star rating?
“Seven people stand behind this” can be checked, because each of those seven is a named member you can look up. A star average cannot.
