The Power of One & the 100 Club
What the Power of One is
The Power of One is BNI's monthly scorecard for every member. It measures the five habits that make a referral chapter strong and work, and it draws on the last six months of chapter activity — so it rewards consistency, focus and not a good week.
The five commitments
| Commitment | Monthly goal | In business terms | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
 AttendanceOperational Consistency | Every meeting | Operational Consistency | 20 |
 ReferralsQualified Leads & Opportunities | Four qualified referrals | Qualified Leads & Opportunities | 20 |
 One-to-onesRelationship & Trust Building | Four meetings with fellow members | Relationship & Trust Building | 20 |
 VisitorsProspective Partners | One guest brought to a meeting | Prospective Partners | 20 |
 Education (CEUs)Skill Development | Four hours of networking education | Skill Development | 20 |
| Perfect score | 100 |
What 100 means
A perfect 100 means every commitment was met in full, every month, for six months running. It isn't a streak of good luck — it's a member who shows up, gives referrals, builds relationships, brings guests, and keeps learning. Members who hit 100 on the latest report wear the gold medallion on their profile.
BNI as a business
More quality 1-to-1s → more qualified referrals → more closed business → more TYFCB
TYFCB: “Thank You For Closed Business”
The dollar value of business members report closing from referrals passed by fellow members. It’s BNI’s measure of the real revenue a chapter creates.

Why it matters at ATX Luxury Connectors
Accountability isn't optional here — attendance, referral activity, and closed business are tracked, and the Power of One is a major part of how we keep score. This system helps members measure their work , build their ROI and support a strong chapter! That structure is why our results are real: over $6 million in closed business passed, including a $2.4M single referral. The 100 Club is the proof, one member at a time.
Power of One scores are published monthly by BNI for all chapters in Austin surrounding areas and refreshed here when each report is released.
