BNI TYFCB suggestions for ease

I wanted to share a couple of BNI app feature ideas that I think could really improve usability and save members time, especially for those of us who are very active with referrals and power partners.

1. Power Partner / Favorites List
It would be incredibly helpful to have a way to mark certain members as “favorites” or “power partners” within the app. Many of us regularly work with the same people who may not be in our chapter, and having to search for them every single time adds friction.
A dedicated list or tab where we could quickly access the people we work with most often would make sending referrals and tracking activity much more efficient.

2. Gentle “Nudge” or Reminder for Thank You for Closed Business
Another feature that would be extremely useful is a built-in “nudge” or reminder button for closed business acknowledgments.
For example, if I send a referral to someone and I know the work has been completed and paid — but the Thank You for Closed Business hasn’t been entered yet — I could click a nudge button within the app. That would send a friendly app notification reminder to the member, rather than having to track them down at a meeting or send a separate email.

A real-world example: Kendra Harrison completed work for the airbnb house that I manage, and I know payment has been made. Being able to send a quick in-app nudge would keep everything accurate and timely without extra leg work and would result in more TYFCB being logged, I’m confident.

I truly believe features like these would help keep reporting current, reduce follow-ups outside the app, and make the overall member experience smoother and more efficient.

  @rachel - Thank you so much - these are great suggestions!  We have passed these on to our product managers for consideration in a future release.

  Just adding another +1 for “Favorites” or “Power Partners” or some list of frequent referral partners who aren't in your home chapter pick list.  

  Having to always hit the magnifying glass (in the exact center, btw) to search cross chapter is slow and time consuming.
