When considering joining an ineligible senior club through internal relationships, it is recommended that you rationally analyze and make decisions from the following angles： **1. Legality & Ethics** 1. **The essence of the rules** If the club involves legal qualifications (such as the private circle of the financial/medical industry), internal operations may constitute fraud or conspiracy. If it is purely social in nature, it is necessary to evaluate whether it infringes the rights and interests of other members (such as diluting the value of the circle). **2. Risk assessment list** -[] The risk of delisting after being discovered by the audit (some clubs have an annual qualification review mechanism) -[] The professional reputation of the referrer is damaged (such as politicians and businessmen may be suspected of transfer of interests) -[] Hidden costs (may require continuous relationship maintenance/benefit exchange) **3. Compliance alternatives** 1. **Curve strategy** Apply for associated qualifications (e.g. when applying for business membership in the name of a company, name a director of a subsidiary) 2. **Value replacement** Provide scarce resources of the club (such as loan exhibitions of top-notch works of art, exclusive industry data sharing) 3. **Temporary access** Build contacts through short-term projects such as sponsored events/academic forums, and gradually obtain endorsements **4. Methodology of relationship application** If you insist on trying, you should follow： 1. **Information collection** Investigate the background of existing members through LinkedIn and analyze the flexibility of access standards 2. **Stepped contact** First strive to become a partner (such as a supplier), and then build trust through business contacts 3. **Compliance recommendation** Insiders are requested to formally nominate under the "special talent introduction clause", rather than operating privately. **5. Long-term perspective** There is a dynamic balance mechanism at the top circle level： • Over-standard members may lower the overall rating, resulting in the loss of high-quality members • Give priority to investing in the construction of one's own core competitiveness, and may receive unsolicited invitations in the future The final recommendation: spend 70% of your energy on improving your own access qualifications, and 30% on the maintenance of relationships in compliance channels to avoid short-term speculation harming the possibility of long-term development.
