You have a Visitor!

Hi, ##fname##.

Congratulations! You have a Visitor coming to your BNI Online Chapter Meeting.

##visitorfname## ##visitorlname## is confirmed to visit ##chapter## on ##meetingdate##.

Presidents – Consider emailing the Visitor now at ##visitoremail## to be sure they have the Zoom link and to let them know you’re eager to meet them. You may also want to send them a roster of your chapter so they can plan to meet some strategic referral partners at your meeting.

Visitor Hosts – Remember to find your registered Visitors in the Visitor Registration and Attendance Portal of BNI Connect the day before the meeting so you can call them.

The day before the meeting we encourage you to call the Visitor and...

• Let them know you’re eager to meet them and introduce them to potential referral partners.
• Ask if they have a headshot you can add to the PowerPoint slide you’re preparing for them.
• Ensure they have the Zoom information they need to log in a the right time.

During the meeting we encourage you to...

• Be early to welcome them and introduce them to potential referral partners.
• Use breakout rooms to facilitate open networking.
• Review the meeting format and what is expected of them.
• Provide a Visitor Orientation and invite them to apply for membership.

After the meeting we encourage you to...

• Call them, answer their questions, and invite them to apply for membership.

Visitors are an essential element to the success of your chapter! Many Visitors pass referrals that generate significant income for Chapter Members.

If this Visitor is in a conflicting industry, we request that you give them a great BNI experience and refer them back to our Regional Office for placement in other Chapters with the opening available.

Thank you for your continued commitment of growing your business through BNI.

Here is the information your Visitor entered when registering. You can find all of the upcoming Visitors with further details in BNI Connect. You can find them in the Visitor Registration and Attendance Portal.

Sincerely,

Your BNI Regional Office
