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

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
