BNI FLAGSHIP member guide
New to the chapter site? This page starts where you do, with the activation link: signing in, bringing guests, logging your weekly 1-2-1s and referrals, and how the traffic light is scored. Admin tools and questions come last.
Members register, bring guests and log their weekly activity. Guests need no account: they register and pay through a link. Admins take roll call, reconcile payments and look after the whole chapter.
Members of the chapter
Business visitors to a meeting
The chapter creates your account, so there is nothing to sign up for. Open the activation link sent to you on WhatsApp, set an email and password, and you are in the member portal.
Admin
An admin sends you a link that is yours alone. It works for 14 days and only once.
Member
The page greets you by name. If it is not you, stop and contact an admin.
Member
Use the email you check most: sign-in links go there if you forget your password. Passwords need at least 8 characters, typed twice.
Member
After Activate account the system signs you in and opens My profile. Check your company, title and photo.
The sign-in page offers two methods. Either works.
Enter the email and password you set when activating. The quickest option on your own phone or computer.
Forgot your password? Choose this: enter your email and we send a link that signs you in with one tap. Check your spam folder too.
All you send is a link. Registration, pricing, payment and reconciliation are handled for you, and the guest counts toward your traffic light.
Member
In the member portal, open Invite guests and tap Create link. Tie it to one event, or choose Any event and let the guest pick.
Member
Tap Copy and paste it into WhatsApp. Every link remembers it came from you, so the guest never has to mention your name.
Guest
They open the link, pick an event and fill in name, phone and email. Your invite code is applied automatically, and no account is needed.
Guest
Right after submitting they see the amount due, an FPS / PayMe QR code and a reference code to quote in the transfer remark.
Admin
Once the transfer is matched it is marked paid. You see the status change under My guests on the Invite guests page.
Admins set each event's prices, which can come in tiers such as early bird, presale and standard, each with its own deadline. The event page always shows the actual amounts.
For example, a meeting with three tiers
| Registering | Tier picked |
|---|---|
| 21 days before | Early bird |
| 7 days before | Presale |
| 1 day before | Standard |
Guests who register through your link count toward the Visitors item automatically. A cancelled registration, or a guest an admin marks as a no-show, does not count.
See how visitors are scored →Most of your traffic light comes from what you log yourself. When something happens, tap + on your phone, fill in two or three fields, and your light updates straight away.
BNI has plenty of jargon. Nobody gets it all the first time.
Meeting one other member on your own to learn their business and ideal client. Coffee or a visit to their office both count.
Passing a business opportunity to another member. Outside means introducing a client to them; inside means buying from them yourself.
Thank You For Closed Business. When a member's referral wins you work, log the amount to thank them.
Chapter Education Unit. Attend a BNI training, workshop or set learning and log one each time.
A few honest lines for a member who helped you, usually read out at the meeting.
The member home has a This week panel with a + button for each of the five kinds.
Pick the member and the date. Closed business needs an HK$ amount; a referral needs inside or outside, plus an optional contact and notes.
The portal rescores you as soon as it is saved. Everything is listed under History.
The traffic light only counts slips you submit yourself. If another member logs your 1-2-1, it shows under Logged by others on your history page, but you need to log it too for it to score. Guests are the exception: they count automatically when they register through your link.
The traffic light is the chapter's health check on each member's contribution. It scores your last 6 months of activity out of 100, then lights green, yellow, red or grey. It is not a league table. It shows you what is working and where a little more effort pays off.
Every item has tiers: reach a tier and you earn its points, no need to hit full marks at once. Referrals, 1-2-1s and visitors are averaged, so one busy week never knocks you down a band.

Their quickest next points
You do not need full marks everywhere. Pick the one or two items with the easiest points and keep at them. The light follows.
Up to 25 pts
Be on time. If you truly cannot come, send a substitute: substitutes are not absences.
Up to 20 pts
In every 1-2-1, ask: who is the client you most want to meet right now? Referrals start with listening.
Up to 10 pts
Book one member for coffee each week. In a quarter you will have met the whole chapter.
Up to 10 pts
Sign up as soon as chapter training is announced, and log it on your phone the same day.
Up to 5 pts
Keep your invite link in WhatsApp and tell clients and suppliers: come and see a breakfast meeting.
Up to 20 pts
Report every closed deal, small ones included. It all adds up over 6 months.
Up to 10 pts
Write a few honest lines for a member who helped you. Reading it out at the meeting lands best.
No waiting for a monthly report. Every time you open the member portal, your score is recomputed from the latest activity.
會員主頁
The member home shows your total, your band and the points for all 7 items, each with how much more you need for the next tier.
These are for chapter admins only. Once you sign in, the side menu gains an Admin section.
After each meeting, get the next one ready. It takes about five minutes from new to published, and once it is published the home page ticket, the events list and members' invite links all update on their own.
In Admin, open Events and click New event.
Only admins can see a draft, so it stays off the home page until you are done. Fill in at least one title, for example "Weekly meeting". The web address is generated from the title and date.
Enter the start time (required) and end time in Hong Kong time. Fill in the venue in both languages: the home page and event page show it as typed. Left blank, the home page reuses the last meeting's venue.
The member meal fee is what each attending member pays, and it is the amount used when you generate meal fees after the meeting. Leave capacity blank for no limit; when set, the event page shows the seats left.
Create event takes you to the event page. Under Pricing tiers, add the guest prices: for example Early bird ending a week before the meeting, and Standard with no deadline. The last tier must have no deadline so registration stays open until the meeting starts. With no tiers at all, guests cannot register.
Once it is published with a start time in the future, it appears on the home page ticket and the events list straight away, and members can register and create invite links in the member portal. The home page always shows the soonest one.
From the registration list you can mark paid, waive, cancel or add walk-in guests. After the meeting, tick Attended in the registration list, then click Generate meal fees: each registered member gets one meal fee, counting only those ticked as attended if you ticked anyone, and clicking again never bills twice. Attendance for the traffic light is taken separately, under Roll call below.
Example: whether the last tier has a deadline matters
In both set-ups Early bird ends 7 days before the meeting. The only difference is Standard: in A it has no deadline, in B it ends 2 days before. Below is the tier the system actually picks.
| Guest registers | A: Standard, no deadline | B: Standard ends 2 days before |
|---|---|---|
| 10 days before | Early bird | Early bird |
| 4 days before | Standard | Standard |
| 1 days before | Standard | Registration closed |
With set-up B, guests cannot register in the final days. Always leave the last tier's deadline blank. Read the full pricing rules
