HOW TO MAKE

BIG CHAPTER WORK FOR

YOU

INSOMNIACS

Lets find some similarities with

HONEY BEEShow they

MAKE MORE HONEY

INSOMNIACS

They’re expert communicators

They are in continuous contact with their hives - instead, bees never seem to break contact with the group and keep each other informed to stay alive and recruit other bees to help them collect pollen where it’s most plentiful

Always Stay Connected &

Communicate with your chapter

members (all the time)

INSOMNIACS

Bees are associative

learners

Bees never stop learning….. And they continue to visit the types of flowers that consistently offer them rewards

Keep Learning & growing

Education slot,

attend trainings, read successnet,

hear podcast

INSOMNIACS

Bees have an innate sense of responsibility and a desire to work

Bees start working a few hours after they’re born, noticing the dirty cells that need to be cleaned around them to moving on to clean the queen, guard the hive etc and contribute in any way that’s needed

Be a full time BNI member…every opportunity we come across make it a point that we generate business and referrals for our

fellow beesINSOMNIACS

They continue to evolve

Even after continent break-ups and climate changes, bees are still around and working just as furiously.

New members get added every month, some members leave. New policy's are implemented for the betterment. The chapter keeps evolving INSOMNIACS

Honeybees share

They know there is plenty for everyone, including other species. Honeybees do not compete head-on with other species

GIVERS GAIN POLICY

INSOMNIACS

They have different jobs and stick to

them

Bee colonies have a strict hierarchy

and class system, and the hive works

so well…

Take up various roles to take the chapter forward – Leadership Team,

Membership Committee, VHT, CD support Team

INSOMNIACS

Age levels are directly related to work habits

Bees delegate different jobs according to age level, showing an understanding for natural ability, stamina

and practice. Mentoring support is offered to a new member to improve

his understanding and his performance. Also Old BEES needs to approach New BEES and bond with them

INSOMNIACS

Honeybees make honey while the sun shines

Bees are opportunists, taking advantage of available food as soon as conditions are right.

At BNI we meet early in the

morning to do business

(attend regularly)

INSOMNIACS

Bees depend on their queen

Every colony or company needs a strong leader. Even the mere presence of a strong leader (not to

micromanage) is vital to directing workers.

We have Chapter Director who is responsible to lead & give vision to the chapter

INSOMNIACS

Honeybees achieve extraordinary things by working together

Fifty thousand workers can shift a lot of stuff. Co-operation is the key to their success: tens of thousands of individuals behaving as a single organism.

Working & supporting each other in general & through POWER TEAMS adds POWER to each individual

INSOMNIACS

The more, the merrier. And the more productive

Innovation, optimization and streamlined processes result from self-organization, which seems to naturally occur in swarms. Scientists have found that when surrounded by a pack, bees that "fail," don’t cause major problems because all the others pick up the slack..

More members means more contact spheres which leads to more referrals which leads

to more business
