2008 April "The One-Day Secret to Growing Your Chapter"
This edition of SuccessNet has a number of articles about Visitors Days. The reason for this is because it's a great time of year to build your Chapter—and Visitors Days are a proven way to do it for any group that truly follows the structured Visitors Day program.
Chapters and members in countries around the world know the secret to drastically increasing the amount of referral business they get from their BNI membership. And they know how to make that happen in just one day! Their "one-day secret" is their chapter's Visitors Day (oftentimes conducted in conjunction with their national Membership Drive).
Your National Membership Drive
Your National Membership Drive (in some countries referred to as a "Member Extravaganza") helps members focus on inviting guests to take a look at how BNI can help their businesses. The goal is to significantly increase the number of members, or referral sources, in your chapter so all members get more referral business.
During the contest period, when members sponsor new members into their chapter, they are entered into a prize drawing. In many countries this is taking place now; in some countries it happens later in the year. Contact your local director to find out when it is taking place in your area if you aren't sure.
Motivation
Visitors Day is an initiative designed to create positive momentum in your chapter: to increase your membership, in order to increase referrals. Although Visitors Days can be done anytime during the year, when you hold it during a Membership Drive, the contest and prizes help you have some fun while you build your chapter.
Keep It Going
"Really" successful chapters and members generate momentum leading up to their Visitors Day event by inviting new members before the big event. And they they continue to invite and induct new members for weeks after Visitors Day.
Great members know they need to help new members become engaged in the BNI system and help them create a stream of referrals as quickly as possible. Seasoned members know they can help new members "stick" by doing the following:
1. Help new members register to attend Member Success Program (MSP).
2. Attend MSP with new members to build positive and supportive relationships!
3. Schedule one-to-one meetings with new members.
4. Help new members schedule one-to-one meetings with other members in the chapter who are in businesses closely related to them; these members are likely to be a good source of referrals.
