Two Ideas:

- send note of thanks to referring member when TYFCB is logged by receiving member. This thanks the member and lets them know that their referral was successful and that TYFCB has been logged.

- show history of guests invited ( I cant remember who I have invited to which chapter and when...) much like the slip history is shown.

  @sam -

  For the history of guests invited - this is not possible right now as we are not storing the data for invites, it is only an email template.  Saving an invitees details at this very early stage raises additional privacy concerns at this time.  Only after they have registered or come to a meeting do we save their data in the system.  At this point as well we have multiple reports in www.bniconnect.com to assist in finding this history.

   

  For TYFCB notification:

  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!
