BNI Plus Done Right: Faster Rollout, Less Stress, Better Visitor Conversions

You Already Know the Challenges

• Every chapter runs its own version of the meeting, so your region never quite feels consistent — or on-brand.
• Leadership teams lose hours each week chasing reports and depending on one “PowerPoint person” to rebuild slides from scratch.
• Visitor experience varies chapter to chapter, and an inconsistent first impression costs you conversions you'll never see.

You're not worried about whether to roll out BNI+. You already know it's coming. What keeps you up at night is how — will it go smoothly, or will it be another six months of chapters doing their own thing, visitors getting an inconsistent experience, and you fielding the “why doesn't our region have this figured out yet?” conversation.

What BNI+ Fixes

I handle implementation, giving your region:

• One standard, branded meeting system across every chapter, with centralized agenda and slide management.
• Full leadership visibility for President/VP/ST, with focused tools for Communications and Visitor Host roles.
• PALMS and BNI Connect data pulled in automatically, no manual entry.
• Timers, chimes, and scripts that keep meetings on time and on track.
• A consistently strong member and visitor experience — easy uploads, featured speaker bios, weekly newsletters, visitor slides.

What Chapters Already Running BNI Plus Are Saying

“Preparing for a meeting the night before is seamless because the majority of the information is automatically pulled from BNI Connect. Slides remain current without the need to chase down contact details or photos, and the result is a highly consistent presentation week after week, where everyone knows what to expect and the meeting runs efficiently and professionally.”

— Michael Kettner, President, BNI Peak

“For me as VP, it's cut down 90 to 120 mins of my time every week. That's pretty amazing! The timer is brilliant, the chime is amazing, and we've been completing our meetings 15 mins early!”

— Sanjay Regmi, Vice President, BNI Lions Gate

“I like how simple and user friendly it is. It's easy to update the slides that are relevant to my role, and it's helpful to see the full agenda laid out so clearly. I love the controller view during meetings, so my script is on hand when needed. As Secretary Treasurer, I also love how the speaker bio is sent directly to me the night before the meeting.”

— Lauren Knight, Secretary Treasurer, BNI WorldClass

“For my role as VHC, I find it very useful in marking visitors who are present at the meeting so their slides are added to the slideshow, and to mark attendance for our members in real time. Your orientation was useful, as are the videos you provided on the BNI site walking through the process. It's a great orientation and tool to make my role smoother.”

— Melanie Huck, Visitor Host Coordinator, BNI Ignite

“The BNI+ collection is very comprehensive and thorough with EVERYTHING you need to run a successful meeting, all laid out nicely. I would be comfortable jumping into any LT role on short notice, knowing I have this to reference.”

— Rebecca Smirl, Communications Coordinator, BNI X-Factor

What I Do For Your Region

I train and support 1–2 of your regional team members as BNI+ Champions. Instead of your people spending weeks decoding webinars and learning by trial and error, they get a clear, proven path, because I've already done this work, live, across four BNI BC regions.

Regional BNI Plus Implementation Plan

• Week 1: Train your Regional BNI+ Champion(s) and customize BNI Plus for your region and 3–4 pilot chapters.
• Weeks 2–4: Run 3–4 orientation sessions with live walkthroughs, short how-to videos, and follow-up support.
• Ongoing: I stay on as a resource for support and new features as they roll out.

Is This Worth It?

Here's the real choice: your region rolls out BNI+ either way. The only question is whether your team spends the next few months figuring it out through trial and error, or gets it right the first time.

• You skip the learning curve. I've already made the mistakes, solved the edge cases, and built the playbook.
• Your leaders' time is worth more than the setup cost. Every week BNI+ isn't running properly is another week of a Leadership Team member burning hours on slides instead of building their chapter.
• A shaky rollout costs you more than a good one. An inconsistent visitor experience during a messy transition is harder to undo than getting it right from week one.
• This isn't ongoing overhead. I train your Champions to run it themselves. You're paying once to make your region self-sufficient, fast, not paying me indefinitely to operate your meetings.

Why Bring In a Specialist

Your regional team already carries coaching, performance, and chapter support. BNI+ adds new technical complexity, a need to turn a global platform into clear regional standards, and a genuine change-management project across every chapter.

I've already implemented BNI Plus end-to-end in four BNI BC regions, where I've been on the Regional Support Team since 2014. Bringing me in shortens your rollout, reduces frustration for your leaders, and keeps your regional team focused on what they do best, instead of wrestling with configuration.
