25+ Equals $31,000 (a year… for you)

At BNI Leadership Team training in March, we shared the recent BNI stats indicating that a chapter with an overall average of 20 or fewer members exchanged a referral value of $9,500 per member per year.  A chapter with an overall average of 25 or more members exchanged a referral value of $31,000 per member per year.

That’s a huge difference.
Our mission is to have all chapters in the Golden Horseshoe Region exceed 25 referral partners because chapters with more than 25 members make more money for their members and have a higher retention rate which means the business model is sustainable long term.

To work toward this mission we shared the BNI Traffic Lights Agendas at Leadership Team training. We defined each chapter based upon the phase it is currently in and we distributed a customized Traffic Lights Agenda representing each phase.
The BNI Agenda has not changed, but the areas of weekly emphasis have. We have done this to better support every chapter in achieving their next phase. Over the next few weeks your Leadership Team will be presenting the agenda at your weekly meeting; because in BNI GH our goal is more referrals for you.
