Its unnecessary. Get w/ a couple newbie friendly providers and then you can supply them as references later on. I have not had anyone say they wouldnt see be b/c I wasnt on P411.

P411 pays for itself not only with the time it takes a provider to screen you, but also many offer discounts from their regular donation price for being a p411 member. Gina also requires the provider to have her best donation price on her p411 account as well.
I have had a few p411 providers who were hesitant to see me due to the agendas against me of a few members adding to drama on Eccie, then when they looked at my p411 profile, they were very quick to dismiss the bullshit and we had a great time. So, while it is not necessary that you have it, it can only help if you do.
