Are you Earning Points or Chasing Points?

 


At the first of every month, the Power of One Reports are published. They are made available on BNI Business Builder and listed under Resources > United States > GA Northeast.

Many members do not understand the 'Why' behind the Power of One reports. It was created to give members a quick way to understand the Palms data and what the data means. To understand if they were being active enough and efficient enough to achieve their desired results.

In this video, Tim Roberts explains the why behind the report and what it measures. He also goes on to explain why the activities for the Power of One will net you more quality referrals.
The activities as outlined by the Power of One report gives you the 'success formula, however, you also have to learn to be effective when you do these activities. Sure, you can meet with another member and chit-chat about different topics and that's a great way to start the relationship, but it's not until the other member wants to help find you referrals that the reciprocal part of the Power of One kicks in. As Tim explains in the video, it takes meeting with those potential power referral sources and training them on how to find you the quality referrals you desire. Teaching them what to look for, listen for, and how to start a conversation that will lead to a referral for you.

Another good video to watch is with Hazel Walker, who asks the question, 'Are you earning points or are you chasing points?' We all want our Power of One report to look good with as much Green as possible, but are we really doing the activities effectively and efficiently? And are we reporting our activity accurately? Keep in mind also, to some members this is a report of creditability. Think about it, do you want to pass a referral to another member with a red or grey Power of One score?
