Joint Visitors Day

- BNI Visitors Day -
Week 1 Starts Now!

- 38 days before event -

##name##,

This is Week 1 of preparing your chapter to host a Visitors Day. This process has been used for 20 years; its techniques are proven-they work when used.

It is five weeks before your scheduled Visitors Day. During your 10 minute speaker presentation at your meeting this week, you will help your chapter members Identify Their Visitors.
  • Your handouts this week are the (white) Prospect List and Spring Membership Drive flyers (if applicable).
  • Work with your chapter to set new member goals. (If your Visitors Day is a part of the Spring Membership Drive, your chapter needs to induct 6 new members to qualify sponsoring members in the Drive. This means if your chapter gets six new members, everyone that sponsors a new member will get a chance to win the Membership Drive trip.)
  • Members will use the Prospect list to identify people they know in professions your chapter needs and professions they would like to have as members.
  • You'll share the ideas in the How to Invite Visitors that Join BNI workshop with them. Be creative; Have fun!
  • During the next week, they will compile a list of names, businesses, addresses and/or email addresses, and phone numbers of people to invite. Use the chapter goal to determine how many visitors each member can invite to meet the goal. About 25% of those invited attend the visitors day.
  • At next week's meeting, everyone will read off their names. (It's OK if some people receive an invitation from two different people. Sometimes that helps them decide attending might be important.)
    • If applicable, the Membership Drive trip is a great way to make the Visitors Day process FUN.

      A weekly auto email will also be sent to your chapter members each week during the Visitor Day process.

      If you have any questions, please contact your Director Consultant.
