Setting up a team's culture & perks

3 min read

A team isn't just a billing arrangement, real teams have a real identity, and the team builder's Culture & Perks step, step 4 of 5, is where you write it down.

The team builder's Culture & Perks step, empty, with fields for Ethos (opening line), Guidelines, Closing line, and a live Preview panel
Culture & Perks starts empty. Leave any of it blank and a sensible default steps in instead.

What you set

  • Ethos opening line. A short, real statement of what this team is about, shown to members on their own Team tab.
  • Guidelines. Whatever expectations you want spelled out plainly, attendance, conduct, whatever matters to how this specific team runs.
  • Closing line. A short sign-off, the last thing a member reads.
  • Perks. A real list, each with its own tag, title, and detail, e.g. a "Rate" tag, "Merch discount" title, "15% off at every merch drop" detail. Add or remove perks freely.
The Culture & Perks step filled in with a real ethos line, guidelines, closing line, and a Rate / Single Pass Rate / 50% off every regular session perk, with the live preview panel updating to match
The Preview panel on the right updates live as you type, exactly what a member sees as the hero of their own Team tab.

This is genuinely worth writing, not just skipping

A team with a real, specific ethos and a couple of concrete perks reads as something worth being part of. A blank Culture & Perks step reads as an afterthought, and members notice the difference.
