Joint Visitors Day

- BNI Visitors Day -
Week 2

- 31 days before event -

##name##,

This is Week 2 of preparing your chapter to host a Visitors Day. It is four weeks before your scheduled Visitors Day and you've arranged with your President to manage the meeting time so you have 5-6 minutes with the chapter AFTER the speaker(s) have presented. This week you will help your chapter members continue to Identify Visitors and Start Their Letters.

 
  • First, have members share the Visitors they've identified. In chapters with less than 30 members, each member can read off their list of names. In larger chapters, each person can share how many names they have on their list. Adjust this weeks' info to fit your chapter size and the time available. Always get the number so you can track how many are being invited.
  • Ask members to identify 20 more names (for a total of 40 names), if they can. Share a couple of places to find those names given in the How to Invite Visitors that Join BNI, Ways to Invite (at the bottom).
  • Bring additional copies of the Prospect List and Membership Drive Flyer (if applicable) for those who may have been absent last week.
  • Before the meeting, hand out the (blue) Invitation letter; remind them where to find this electronically. Put invitation letters on company letterhead, address them to a specific person, include 1-2 business cards; bring them in an envelope that is addressed, sealed, and stamped. (Bring letters in two weeks.)
  • Your packet includes two additional ways to invite (email through Chapter Toolbox and sample card) which you can explain if applicable to your chapter.
  • Ask members why they joined BNI--to get referrals! Each new member that joins will become a source of referrals for everyone. (If your chapter gets six new members during the Spring Membership Drive, everyone that sponsored a new member will get a chance to win the BNI Trip.)
Remember, BNI Visitors Days make chapter and business growth FUN and Profitable.
