Referrals require at least 3 points of contact. Leads are not counted in the BNI system.

Defining a Referral

It's not a lead...

• Prospect is seeking your service
• Your referral partner told them about you
• The prospect wants to meet you.

Got an idea?

Use this space to add awesome interactivity. Include text, images, videos, tables, PDFs... even interactive questions! Premium tip: Get information on how your audience interacts with your creation:

• Visit the Analytics settings;
• Activate user tracking;
• Let the communication flow!

BNI is a networking organization, and that means we want to connect with as many like-minded professionals as possible. Our members are asked to contribute to our groups expanding network by bringing guests to meet our members.

Monthly Visitors

Sharing is caring

• Members are all asked to bring 1 Visitor every month
• Anyone can visit, only non-BNI members and first time guests qualify for members score.
• Visitors may only attend twice before needing to apply

If you exceed these allowances, the Membership Committee will vote on your membership status.

You know what they say, showing up is at least half the battle. Want to stay top of mind? Show up early, stay late, and stick to the attendance policy.

Attendance Policy

The first layer of accountability.

• Allowed to send 3 substitutes in 6 months
• Allowed to be absent without representation 3 times in 6 months

One of our Core Values is Lifelong Learning. Our members are expected to spend at least 1 hour each week educating themselves.

Continued Education

CEU's for short...

• Attending Outside Networking
• Listenning to business minded podcasts.
• Taking industry assesments/courses

In order to refer each other, we have to know how to spot a good referral. We do this by getting to know our referral partners. 1-2-1's are the 30-60 minutes and should happen regularly for maximum outcome.

This is the key to getting referrals!
