We have just started BNIngo, so what exactly is it? It is a fun, fast way for us to find other trusted professionals in our community who want to grow their business and become a part of our amazing Chapter! We are going to grow our Chapter by 8+ new Members from BNIngo this year!!! The scorecard is in our Chapter slides here coming up but I want to let you know what the purpose of BNIngo is…

Here is a high-level summary of the key points of our BNIngo Game:

Purpose:

• Launch a fun gamified initiative called “BNIngo” to drive membership growth in our Chapter as well as across the BNI Tampa region. The goal is to grow by 305 net new members in 6 less than months.

BNIngo Game Rules:

• Each chapter has a BNIngo card with 9 membership classification squares to fill. Includes standard squares (e.g. chiropractor) and special squares (e.g. cross-chapter sponsor, unicorn – rare classification, and the BONUS square in the middle of the card).
• Prizes awarded for filling lines/cards – for the 1st Chapter to get a 3-in-a-row each Sponsoring Member wins $100. 1st Chapter to get 2 3-in-a-rows each Sponsoring Member wins $100. 1st Chapter to get 3 3-in-a-rows each Sponsoring Member wins $100. 1st Chapter to get an entire blackout (all squares sponsored) get $100 each Sponsoring Member.
• Once your Chapter fills the card in a blackout, we will start Round 2.

Strategies:

• Divide the Chapter into teams, perhaps by Business to Business, Home Services, and Health and Wellness/Events/Personal Services.
• Focus on finding the right Referral Partner in the classifications on your scorecard.
• Cross-Chapter sponsor people into other Chapters, we all know folks who do what we do, tell them about your BNI success story and invite them to a Chapter that is looking for them.
• Sponsor a nonprofit in any chapter in Dec to pick a free square on ANY Chapter’s Scorecard on any space!!!

Goal:

• Blackout all 52 Chapter scorecards to drive to 305 net new Members!
• Get started now and then help struggling Chapters after winning.
