Your Connector Score is built from real results, not how busy you look. It tracks whether your introductions get accepted, whether people find them useful, and whether you keep it up over time — a credibility score you can carry anywhere.
A simple score for how good your introductions are — proven by real results. It's built from how often your intros get accepted, how useful people say they were, and how steadily you make them. The result is a portable credibility rating you can share with investors, employers, and partners as honest proof of your reach.
Follower counts and connection totals just measure activity. Your Connector Score is different: it's built entirely from outcomes — whether your introductions are accepted, valued, and repeated. It rewards quality over volume, and it keeps itself honest, because low-quality introductions actually pull it down.
The percentage of your introductions that result in a mutual "Accept" from both parties.
Specific "why" note · Relevant match · High niche alignment
Vague context · Mismatched parties · Unsolicited noise

For people who connect for a living — investors, recruiters, and consultants — the Verified Connector Badge is portable proof your introductions are worth accepting. People see your badge before they read your note, and they know your track record is verified, not just claimed.
The badge is not a subscription perk. It's earned: available only to users with a Connector Score of 800+, reflecting a proven track record of high-acceptance, high-value introductions.
A credibility signal visible on every introduction you send — proving your track record of high-acceptance, high-value matches to recipients before they even read your note.
Show candidates and clients a verified track record of successful placements — not just a list of previous companies or LinkedIn endorsements.
Prove your deal-flow quality to GPs and LPs. A high Connector Score is objective evidence that your warm intros actually close — not just emails sent.
Carry your reputation into new client relationships. Show prospects that your network has delivered measurable value to others like them.
Quantify the value you create for your community. Turn "I make a lot of intros" from a soft claim into a data-backed credential.
Build the credibility to attract investors and advisors who trust your judgment. A high score signals you curate relationships, not just connections.
Demonstrate that your referral network is active and high-quality — helping close partnership deals faster than any traditional reference call.

The Connector Score is Trusio's professional trust score — a networking reputation metric calculated from your introduction acceptance rate, post-connection value ratings, and consistency over 30, 60, and 90-day windows. It's a portable referral credibility rating you can share with investors, employers, and partners as objective proof of your influence.
A LinkedIn connection count just shows how many people you've added — it says nothing about quality or results. Your Connector Score is built entirely from real outcomes: whether your introductions get accepted, whether both people find them valuable, and whether you keep making good ones over time.
Yes. The Connector Score is designed to be a portable networking reputation score. You can share it with recruiters, investors, or partners as an objective credibility signal. The Verified Connector Badge ($49/year) provides a verified, shareable proof of your trust rating for high-stakes professional contexts.
Scores run from Building (just getting started) up through Trusted, High-Trust, Super Connector, and Elite. A Super Connector or Elite score (800+) reflects an acceptance rate consistently above 70%, high value ratings from the people you introduce, and steady activity across several months. Most active connectors reach this within 90 days.
No. The Connector Score only tracks introductions you initiate as a connector — not ones you receive. Declining introductions you receive as a recipient has no impact on your score. The score rewards the quality and consistency of the introductions you make on behalf of others.
