Can we please have a notification once we have thanked someone for the money, so the person being thanked knows it has been recorded.

  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!

  I agree with Claire's suggestion.  Can you please update those?

  I thoroughly agree with Claire Summers request.  It is a valuable option as it keeps us informed on the value of our referrals.  It also prevents us from having to ask someone if they have put it in the system, which can be awkward if they haven't.  I know that there is confidentiality around the amount but that should not prevent a notification going to the referral provider that they have been thanked.

  Absolutely NOT!  If people are notified when I put in TYFCB I (along with attorneys & financial planners) will no longer be able to enter TYFCB due to the confidentiality requirements of our field.  There is confidentiality around the WHO.  If you provide me with a referral I CANNOT tell you anything except I reached out.  I cannot tell you if we had a meeting, if they became a client, if I entered TYFCB, etc.  If this were implemented the TYFCB numbers would drop dramatically for fear of breaking ethical rules held by certain professions.  I am glad that BNI understands this and I urge them to continue to tell those who don't NO!

  Even if the notification didn't say who the TYFCB came from I wouldn't be able to participate because there is a possibility that the person thanked only sent me a referral.
