SF BayResults from referral networking come from consistent habits. The Power of One report measures them.
Five elements
BNI SF Bay's Power of One report scores five elements, each worth up to 20 points for a total of 100: CEUs (four per month), attendance (100%), one-to-ones (four per month), referrals (four per month) and visitors (one per month).
Score bands
Green is 70 to 100, Yellow 50 to 65, Red 30 to 45 and Gray 0 to 25. The report recognizes members who finish in the Green range.
Connect habits to revenue
