Week 48 (August 25 – August 31, 2025)

Introduction

“Good morning, everyone! As we move closer to the new BNI year, it’s the perfect time to focus on the word that has shaped so much of what we’ve done this year: together. Today, we’re talking about collaboration—the kind that turns our individual efforts into collective success.”

Body

“Here are three ways collaboration within our Chapter helps us grow stronger as a BNI Family:

1. Share strategies and wins in your Contact Spheres or PowerTeams – When Members share what’s working for them, others learn and grow faster. Whether it’s how you invited a visitor or landed a big referral, that knowledge lifts everyone.
2. Create cross-referral plans – Collaborate with others in your Contact Sphere to create joint marketing ideas, share ideal clients, and refer each other more naturally and frequently.
3. Support each other’s visibility – Like and share Member posts on social media, tag them in relevant community groups, and even co-host networking events. The more visible we are as a group, the more credible we become.”

Example

“One of our PowerTeams created a monthly lunch-and-learn to introduce their services to the community. Members invited their clients and shared the stage. As a result, multiple referrals were passed, and new visitors joined the Chapter. That’s collaboration in action!”

Conclusion

“Our success is multiplied when we work with each other. Collaboration is more than just a feel-good idea—it’s a practical strategy that brings results. Let’s keep the spirit of Growing Together alive by finding ways to partner, support, and succeed as one BNI Family.”
