Mini Workshop – Inviting Visitors 006

This is a 2-3 minute activity that involves those at the meeting.
You will need to read it through beforehand and be prepared.
What you say out loud to the group is in larger type in bold.

Purpose: To highlight the value of inviting visitors.

Start by asking the members…

How many members here have some friends? Show of hands please?

Write down for me the names of your 6 best friends who live in the same city as you?

Take your time!

Give them about 30 seconds if necessary. Then tell them….

Now write next to their name what it is that they do?

Give them about 30 seconds if necessary. Then tell them….

Now put a tick next to their name if you have invited them to a BNI breakfast?

Give them about 30 seconds if necessary. Then ask them….

Hands up those people who have some names left without a tick next to them?

For those who still have names not ticked, will you read out the categories of those names?

Repeat some of the categories out loud and get someone from the Membership Committee to write them all down.

For chapters who have a list of categories, this is the start of a Membership drive.

For those chapters who don’t have a list, ask the members…

When was the last time you invited those people on your list? If it is over six months ago, then things may have changed and it might be a good idea to re-invite them.

I want you all to consider the following.
