You know, you have been absent too much. You are not present. Too many subs. It is a way of tracking that plus, of course, the number of referrals given or received. These are the kinds of things that track performance and progress and put you on the road to success. I am such a believer in this concept of tracking numbers, that you may not know this Priscilla, and I have never talked about it on my podcast.
I actually get a daily report, daily report, on the number of members in the organization. Ivan : Yeah. I can tell you as of the recording- I have it sitting right here in front of me. It came in this morning. As of this recording, we have , members worldwide. Ivan : It is a lot. We have 7, chapters worldwide.
And I get this every single day, and I look at it every single day. So this keeps track of where they are landing, how are we as an organization doing? That and other numbers, not just these. The total number of referrals, the thank you for closed business. You know, we know that we passed 7 million referrals in We know that we generated 9. It is a way to enable you to be proactive versus reactive. Then chapters start struggling. Wait a minute- why are they struggling? Why are we struggling?
What is going on? What happened? We all like each other a lot but we are struggling. Well, chances are pretty good that someone is not on top of the numbers. I really believe that you get the experience that you strive for. You get the experience that you strive for. So if you are on top of your numbers as a chapter and you can continually be making course adjustments like a GPS system.
You are going to do well. It is more than busywork. It is about achieving success. You know, I went to 10 years of college. I was accepted to Occidental College. I came from a reasonably lower slightly middle class family. I knew I was going to go to graduate school. I always really felt like I was going to go to graduate school, so I knew I was going to be in debt up to my ears.
So I turned down a scholarship from Occidental College. Ivan : No. I did go to a private school eventually, but I first went to community college. It was a little community college. Community college is just like highschool. High school with tuition. Not much but it has tuition.
So I said no, I am going to go to graduate school so I am going to start here to get what I need to move on. I went to Citrus College in southern California for two year.
It is a great, great community college. I went to to Cal State University System. So I got in debt on the graduate school. I am telling this story because it is an example of you get what you put into something. We are accountable to each other to do the things that we know from experience will help everyone and the chapter to be successful. We can read the PALMS report for a member and a chapter and get an objective view of how successful a member and the chapter is and how the future might look.
L is for LATE because my car has a flat battery. RGO is a referral I give to you of a friend or client when I trust you implicitly. RRI is a referral I receive from you for you. CEU are chapter education units to keep you learning; you are never too old.
Summary Regularly reviewing the PALMS for ourselves and our chapter and trying to achieve our chapter goals benefits us all. Two people sitting in a room, at the same table, having the same meal at the same time, can actually be worlds apart.
Because they look at the world through a different lens. In , I was sitting in the back of a senior leadership meeting for BNI. The group was talking about the future of the organization and what we saw ahead of us as opportunities and challenges.
