TYFCB
We need to be able to track TYFCB. I’m not concerned with how much they put in, I wouldnjust like to get a notification on the app that a certain person thanked me so I can more easily keep track when giving several referrals within the same week. It gets confusing and I feel I’m missing some closed business but have no way of tracking it.

Great to hear from you, hope all is well!
The TYFCB slips online was modeled directly inline with the official paper slips program in BNI. In the paper version, the TYFCB is an anonymous entry (for many reasons, some of them for client confidentiality).
From the BNI Slips document (http://support.bniconnect.com/entries/40561363-BNI-Slips-Program-Overview):
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.Although a notification and\or seeing both sides of the transaction may be desired by some, it could be "illegal" for others. Most notably this could cause doctors, lawyers and other professionals to not be able to participate in the TYFCB process.
In the meantime, the best way to make another member aware is by letting them know and, if there is mutual agreement, announcing it during the "I have" portion of the meeting.
Hope this helps!

Hi Lauren,
Thank you for writing in. It is a great idea & I agree with you on that.
I believe you have read all the threads from other similar requests. This is a policy issue which required the Board of Advisors to discuss and come up with a new one. It will take sometime for that to happen.
Jeremy will add a vote to this one.
Hope this helps.

Now that there are more cross chapter referrals with online processes, I think the advantages of 'knowing' and being able to thank someone who has received business from me far outweighs the negatives. For eg, I was at a training course and a member of another chapter said to me 'thanks for the referral' (it was a couple of months back). They had got some closed business out of it but I did not know that. How much easier it would have been for us both if I had been able to see the logging of the closed business so I could have thanked them - and cemented the relationship for us both.

Rather than a push notification on TYFCB; what about a push notification on Referral Slips Tracking?
When the receiver changes status to "Pending" & then "No Sale" or "Closed" we could get a notice which has nothing to do with the TYFCB slip.0
