BNI has created mechanisms to measure and track members’ success and activity. Combined, we call this the BNI Slips Program. Individually, the program consists of tracking One-to-One meetings, Networking Education, (CEU’s) Referrals, and closed business, (TYFCB). We have 2 ways for members to report their activity, through paper slips that can be filled out and passed at a weekly chapter meeting, or online slips that can be entered through BNI Connect during the week preceding the chapter meeting. Paper Slips: Paper slips are to be completed before the meeting and handed in during the referral and testimonial portion of the meeting.

The slips will be collected by the chapter Vice President and input manually into BNI Connect following the meeting. Note that only statistical information about the activity will be recorded when utilizing the paper process. Instructions for how to input the PALMS in BNI Connect can be found. Online Slips (preferred): Members may enter their activity into BNI Connect using the online slips process.

All slips entered during the time between meetings will automatically be input into the upcoming week’s PALMS report for the Vice President to review and approve. In addition to the statistical information, the full details of the transaction will be available for the member to review through BNI Connect. The member may also make changes to the details of each slip up until the time that the PALMS is approved and officially submitted by the Vice President. When submitting slips online, members should continue to announce and celebrate their weekly activity during the referral and testimonial portion of the meeting, though for most activity a paper slip is no longer necessary. The member may utilize the “Print Your Weekly Slips” function to turn in a paper referral to be included in the door prize drawing for that week’s meeting. Following is a sample of the actual form and a purpose and explanation as to why we track this information. Followed by step-by-step instructions for completing both the paper slips and the online version.

Paper Slip Process: The member who initiated the One-to-one should be the person completing the form and is responsible for submitting it to the Vice President at the chapter meeting following the One-to-one appointment. The paper form will be light blue in Color, a single sheet pad form and the same size as the referral slip. The Vice President will credit in BNI Connect each member who was present at the one-toone.

Recommended reporting: This process may vary by region. Turning in the One-to-one forms to the Vice President can be done before, during or immediately after the weekly chapter meeting.

Online Slip Process: Only one member of the 1 to 1 pair needs to input the slip online, usually the person who initiated the meeting. The online slip may be entered at any time between chapter meetings, but must be completed before the end of the chapter meeting to be counted for the current week’s PALMS report. To fill out the form, click on the “Submit 1 to 1 Slips” link on the My BNI Business screen and complete all necessary fields.

For detailed instructions for the online 1 to 1 slips, click. Note: This does increase the number of One-to-ones done in the chapter, but it is important to recognize and give credit to each member. The One-to-one reporting program is NOT to be used verbally as a replacement for giving a referral or a testimonial. Paper Slip Process: The member who completed the credits should complete and submit the form to the Vice President at the chapter meeting.

Remember to put your name and date on the form and include all CEU’s completed since the last form you submitted. This form will be goldenrod in color, a single sheet pad form and the same size as the Referral Slips. The Vice President will then input the credits in BNI Connect to the individual whose name is on the form. Recommended Reporting: This process may vary by region. Turning in the CEU forms to the Vice President can be done before, during or immediately after the weekly chapter meeting.

The CEU reporting program is NOT to be used verbally as a replacement for giving a referral or a testimonial. Online Slip Process: The online slip may be entered at any time between chapter meetings, but must be completed before the end of the chapter meeting to be counted for the current week’s PALMS report.

To fill out the form, click on the “Submit CEU Slips” link on the My BNI Business screen and complete all necessary fields. The member should input the quantity for each course completed, the total number of credits will be calculated automatically. For detailed instructions for the online CEU slips, click. Completion: Complete all the information on the slip, including whether the referral is an “inside” or “outside” referral and how the member should contact the referral.

The “White” copy should be passed to the member, the “Pink” copy should be turned in to the Chapter Vice President, and the “Yellow” copy you should keep. The Vice President then inputs the referral in BNI Connect. Note: 1) Complete the form with as much information you want to when receiving a referral.

2) Use your “Yellow” copy to use as a follow up to ensure your referral was contacted and how you can further assist in turning the referral into closed business. Recommended Reporting: During the “I Have” portion of the meeting, the member should announce the referrals they have and give the “Pink” copy to the Vice President. Getting the Vice President the “Pink” copies may vary from region to region. Online Slip Process: The online slip may be entered at any time between chapter meetings, but must be completed before the end of the chapter meeting to be counted for the current week’s PALMS report. To fill out the form, click on the “Submit Referral Slips” link on the My BNI Business screen and complete all necessary fields. Once the referral has been input, the member for whom the referral is intended will immediately receive an email notification with the details of the referral as well as the contact information of the member giving the referral.

For detailed instructions for the online referral slips, click. Completion: This should be completed by the member who closed the business. “Thank you to:” is the member that gave the referral that resulted in closed business. See the “purpose” section of this document for definition of what $ amount is to be reported. This form will be light green in color, a single sheet pad form and the same size as the Referral Slips. The Vice President will then input the $ amount in BNI Connect to the individual whose name is on the “Thank you to” line.

Note: By assigning this amount to the person who gave the referral resulting in the business, this will preserve confidentiality of each individual’s income. In addition, this will show each member’s value as a “referral giver” to the other members of the chapter.

Recommended Reporting: Members turn in the “Thank you for closed business” forms in the same way they turn in the referral slips during the referral portion of the meeting. Note: The Thank you for closed business reporting program is NOT to be used verbally as a replacement for giving a referral or a testimonial.

Online Slip Process: The online slip may be entered at any time between chapter meetings, but must be completed before the end of the chapter meeting to be counted for the current week’s PALMS report. To fill out the form, click on the “Submit TYFCB Slips” link on the My BNI Business screen and complete all necessary fields. In the case of TYFCB, only the person being given credit for generating the TYFCB (the Giver) will be identified in the PALMS report, the person who received the income will remain anonymous. For detailed instructions for the online TYFCB slips, click. This is not meant to be an exact science for reporting purposes.

The goal is to have a consistent reporting system throughout BNI worldwide to recognize those members who pass qualified referrals, while conservatively reporting the amount of business recognized by our members. Below is an explanation of what is to be reported based on what type of business you are in: • Commission Based Sales If you are commissioned, put down your gross commission figure. Examples: Insurance: P&C, Realtors, Insurance: Health Care, Mortgages, Online Sales (such as greeting cards), Investments, Insurance: Life, Payroll Services • Service Providers If you provide some type of service, put down the gross amount you charged for your service. Examples: Website Designer, Massage Therapist, Business Coaching, Doctor, Pest Control, Pool repair/leak detection, Title Service, CPA, Photographer, Salon/Spa, Attorney, Computer Services, • Product Providers If you sell or install a product, put down the total cost to the client of the product plus service costs. Examples: Plumbing, Roofing, Custom Wood Products, Promotional Products, Printing, General Contractor, Flooring, Heating & Cooling, Alarm Systems, • Banking Bankers do not get compensated based on the actual business they generate. Please follow the below definitions to report closed business for non-commissioned referrals to banks. • Loans – Report the interest that would be generated if the loan would go full term • Deposits – Report 10% of the initial amount to open an account • Lines of credits – (i.e.

Credit cards, home equity loans, commercial lines of credit, etc.) report 10% of the line amount • Other bank services – (i.e. Merchant services, on-line banking, etc.) report a flat dollar amount of $250 • Other. Re: Banking thank you. I may open an account with $100, and be thanked for $10 according to the guidelines.

Next week I deposit $10,000. Is this taken into consideration in any way? The bank is certainly deriving income from the additional funds I deposit, and somehow it seems as this should be taken into consideration. For example, say I opened an account with $250, many years ago. In the 1990's I did very well in the stock market, and in the course of 25 years put over 2 million dollars into that account, and had a fairly large balance for about 10 years. How is this considered? Jeannette, The CATS report is only used in a very few areas around the world.

That being said, here is some information about them: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Who should use the BNI Member Commitment Report? This report is for everybody in the Chapter, but in particular the Leadership Team and the Membership Committee. Great Membership Committees are concerned about the level of activity of members and results they are getting. Best practice involves looking at this report to get a sense of who is doing great, and who needs mentoring and support. Everybody in the Chapter needs to contribute and it is the Chapter Leaders responsibility to make sure everyone get assistance and support when needed. In BNI we look after our own!

What are the Fives, Sixes and CATS columns? These are measures of member commitment to Givers Gain® over a rolling 6 month period. We know that closed business is the goal, but how do we get there? We get there by members attending the weekly BNI event. We get there by doing great 121s with our fellow members. We get there by inviting Visitors and introducing them to BNI and to the members of our Chapter.

How are the FIVES calculated? The Fives column in the BNI Member Commitment Report is calculated as follows: Attendance + Substitutes – Late – Absent + Visitors + Referrals GIVEN + 121s (Dances). The period covered is 6 months of activity. Generally speaking Chapters require members to achieve a FIVES score of 50+ over 6 months, but that’s up to Membership Committees to decide for themselves what is appropriate!

How are the SIXES calculated? The Sixes add in to the Fives 1 point for every $1000 of closed business given by a member. Why did the members want that?

Because it is important to take into account results when assessing a members commitment to Givens Gain® What do you mean by “the SIXES inform the FIVES”? It is great when someone demonstrates commitment by being active, but unless we take results into account when assessing someone’s performance we may miss the opportunity to help that person be active and great at the same time!

Ideally someone REALLY active is doing so with great skill, and is getting result for the members! This is why we say the SIXES inform the FIVES. BNI Chapters with members that want to be held accountable for their activity and commitment to Givers Gain® are those that make the most closed business, and CATS stands for Chapter Accountability Tracking System. CATS was developed by the members of BNI because they are really serious about getting result for their members. CATS is a more sophisticated measure of performance that gives different weightings to the activities that lead to closed business.

This is how CATS is calculated: - Plus 1 for each 121/Dance. - Plus 1 for every Internal Referral. - Plus 1 for every 1 Thousand Dollars of Closed Business given credited to the member. - Plus 2 points for every External Referral.

- Plus 2 points for every Visitor recorded against the members’ name on the PALMS. - Less 2 points for each Absence without a substitute. How should the BNI Member Commitment Report be used? Great practices include sharing the report each month at the weekly BNI event. This report is definitely useful when assessing Chapter Health and the performance of members in the Chapter, and is used extensively by Membership Committees for planning purposes.

We recommend you also bring any matters of concern to the attention of your BNI Director so he/she has an opportunity to contribute!

Leadership Team Overview The Leadership Team (LT) holds office for a 1-year period (October 1-September 30). A new team is chosen every year. Volunteering on the LT helps the chapter while you increase the visibility and exposure of yourself and your business. The LT and the Membership Committee both meet monthly. The President attends a monthly Presidents' meeting and the VP participates in a monthly conference call.

The Leadership Team consists of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Member Success Coordinator, a Membership Committee, Education Coordinator, Visitor Host(s), and an Alternate. At the end of their term, the President, Vice President and Member Success Coordinator, and Treasurer receive compensation by having their membership extended for 1 year. Massachusetts has a number of assistant directors who assist the chapters.

Ours is Rose Gschwentner. The Executive Director of BNI for New England is Patti Salvucci (978-443-6800, patti@bni.com). • Sets expectations, evaluates the involvement of existing members, and identifies need for new members to help our chapter be effective. • It looks at new and renewing members' quality of work and their fit with BNI expectations and participation. • Processes applications, conducts reference checks, screens and interviews prospective members, and clarifies the category being applied/accepted for.

• Evaluates the participation of existing members (including attendance, referrals, fit, complaints). • Processes renewal applications of current members.

• Intervenes/mediates regarding complaints between/about members when necessary. You may have substitutes a maximum of 3 times during a 6-month period. If you know you will miss a meeting, ask someone to substitute for you. You may ask family, friends or coworkers to substitute. The chapter keeps a list of people who are interested in substituting.

Some are former chapter members; some are from other BNI chapters. Inform the membership committee is you know someone who would like to included on our substitute List. You can locate members of other BNI chapters who are available to substitute by going to www.BNIMass.com, clicking on Members at the top of the screen, and then clicking on Substitutes. Substitutes should be prepared to give your commercial, as well as their own, unless they represent your agency (the same profession) or are in conflict with another member. If so, they may only give a presentation for the member they're subbing for.

Make sure you explore whether your sub might have a conflict with an existing member. It's always a good idea to let members in related categories know about the sub in advance, to check out and prevent possible conflicts. Inform your sub of arrival time, meeting structure and ways the sub will be asked to participate (your commerical, saying something about the meeting at Referral time, bring business cards and put them around the table in advance). If a sub doesn't come even when a member has arranged for coverage, it is counted as an absence. A person may not act as a substitute for more than one member at any given meeting. A medical leave of absence may be taken for up to eight weeks, with the prior approval of the Membership Committee. Your request must be in writing and sent to the Vice President or a member of the Membership Committee.

Medical leave begins either as the terms are stated in writing or once the Membership Committee has approved the written request. You qualify for medical leave if your medical condition is such that you are unable to conduct business. You are allowed one medical leave per leadership term.

That means once a year. There are no official rules about maternity and paternity leave. Our policy for both maternity and paternity leave is similar to medical leave – not to exceed eight weeks. The VP tracks weekly attendance, lates, referrals, one to ones, and numbers of visitors. This is recorded online at www.BNIMass.com in the VP report (also called the PALS report). Members can access it by logging on, and going to VP Report. View and Print for a month.

The VP can print out reports that cover several months (called Cumulative Reports). Meeting Structure General Turn off cell phones before the start of the meeting. Get your coffee before the meeting, not during. Be prepared: Wear your BNI member badge. Bring your BNI cardholder. Bring your calendar and paper to take notes during meetings.

Keep a folder or notebook for important emails and information. Keep extra referral slips and green 'thank you' slips in your business card holder. Make sure the card file has a supply of your current business cards. The box will go around once during the meeting. If you will be away, ask another member to make sure the file has a supply of your cards. Business cards are kept in alphabetical order by members' names.

During Referral Time, limit talking about referrals and testimonials to one to two sentences. Keep them positive and brief. Business related announcements are made during the Announcement slot at the end of the meeting. Give referral slips to fellow members before or after the meeting; don't pass them during the meeting, as courtesy to your fellow members.

The Secretary/Treasurer maintains the speakers' schedule, and provides 6 weeks advance notice to speakers. New members give 3 minute presentations after they have completed their MSP training. All members are scheduled and expected to present 8 minute talks about 3 times a year (depending on the overall size of the chapter). 8 minute presentations allow members to go into more depth about their profession. If a member needs to reschedule, s/he must arrange a substitute/trade with another member and inform the Secretary/Treasurer. Speakers are encouraged to invite guests when they are speaking. Members giving 3 and 8 minute presentations are introduced by the Secretary/Treasurer.

S/he uses Member Bio Sheets to introduce them. Member Bio Sheets can be downloaded from www.BNIMass.com by logging in to the Members Only section. Scroll down to Share and Download Files, click on View Files to Download.

Select Forms, and then find the Member Bio Sheet. Tangled Ever After Full Movie 720p Torrent Download on this page. If you prefer, you can copy the form from the MSP booklet, and complete it legibly by hand. Update it every time you speak (especially 'My burning desire is.' And 'Something no one knows about me.'

Email it or give it to the Secretary/Treasurer in advance. • Visitors and substitutes should be welcome and treated with great respect. We never know whom they know and what kind of referral source they might be. If you bring a visitor, let the Visitor Hosts and President know in advance if possible. • Fill out a referral slip on the day the visitor first comes to get credit for bringing a visitor. • Make sure you explore whether your visitor might have a conflict with an existing member.

It's always a good idea to let members in related categories know about the visitor in advance, to check out and prevent possible conflicts. • BNI policy is that an individual may visit or substitute only twice before becoming a member. Brookline BNI Networkers allows substitutes to come more than that, though we recognize that someone who comes regularly and receives the benefits of membership should be encouraged to become a member. • When you invite visitors or substitutes, let them know about the structure. Tell them to come early, be prepared to give a brief commercial (and what that includes), and bring enough business cards and materials that they may distribute (to everyone) before the meeting. Tell them about the Referral portion of the meeting, and prepare them to stand and speak about how they feel about the group, the meeting or the experience. • If it appears that someone may have a conflict, s/he can stay to observe, and only introduce himself.

'We welcome Sue to the meeting. We're exploring whether there's a conflict. If not, she's welcome to come back. If there is, she'll be welcome at another chapter.'

Visitors coming to network for jobs (who appear to have a conflict) are allowed to introduce themselves (nothing more) and observe. • If when a visitor gives a commercial, it becomes clear that there is a conflict with a member, let the visitor finish. Then politely and professionally, let the individual know there has been a conflict, and address it then.

If appropriate, try to connect the individual with another chapter. The Member Success Coordinator/Treasurer enters information about new members on www.BNIMass.com. Once this is done, new members receive an email from BNIMass with a username and a password for the BNIMass website.

New members should sign up for SuccessNet, the national BNI enewsletter on the BNIMass website. • New members must attend a Member Success Program (MSP) within 60 days of joining, before they may give their 3-minute or 8-minute presentations. This is a 2-hour introduction to BNI.

The calendar for MSP's is located on the BNIMass website under Programs-MSP at the top of the home page. • Notify the Member Success Coordinator after you've completed your MSP. Renewals • Members are notified by the Membership Committee 1 to 2 months before their membership year is up for renewal. • The Member Success Coordinator gives members the renewal form. Renewal involves meeting with a member of the Membership Committee, completing a Member Evaluation form and submitting a BNI renewal form with a check to the Treasurer. Renewal is a time to revisit participation (attendance, referrals given and received, participation in 8 minute presentations, fit, complaints) and expectations.

It is not automatic. • There is a $20 late fee if the renewal is submitted to BNIMass late. If it is 30 days late, a new application must be submitted with a $75 fee.

• Each member selects one specific category for his or her 'seat'. If an individual does more than one category in his or her work, s/he may talk about the other category as long as no one is in that seat. I.e., a person who does both graphic design and website design must choose one or the other as his/her category (if both are open).

S/he may talk about the other if there is no one in that seat, but may not mention it if the other seat is filled. • A member may change his/her category at a later date to a different open category with approval from the Membership Committee. The individual holds the seat, not the individual's company. I.e., if an individual works for a firm that has people in other categories, s/he needs to find ways to collaborate/maintain a collegial relationship with chapter members in those categories. • If a member has an issue or conflict with another member, s/he should speak first with the other person and try to work it out. If it can't be resolved, it should be brought to the Membership Committee.

If there are issues or questions about a member's participation, the Membership Committee will contact the member to discuss. • The Membership Committee as a whole meets to approve/make recommendations about individuals. If the individual in question sits on the Membership Committee, the meeting will convene without that person present. • The Membership Committee sends form letters to members when issues need to be resolved, i.e. To inform of attendance problems, or when being asked to leave the chapter (called 'opening a classification').

• Members can't be asked to leave during their membership year UNLESS they've been put on probation and it hasn't worked out, been spoken to by the MC with the info in writing, or have received 'form' letters because of absences, etc. The assistant director must review and approve the decision. • If someone is asked to leave, the chapter may be told only that it's a Membership Committee decision based on what's best for the chapter because of liability and confidentiality.
