What wasn't working.
BNI chapter coordinators were manually tracking referrals, member engagement scores, and follow-up sequences across 85+ business members per chapter. High-value referrals were falling through the cracks — only 34% were followed up within 24 hours, and pipeline visibility required a two-hour manual report each week.
Built an end-to-end sales AI workflow automating referral receipt, logging, and assignment. The system generates personalized follow-up sequences for each member based on referral type, tracks engagement, scores pipeline health in real time, and delivers a weekly member momentum report to chapter leadership — replacing all manual tracking.

Before
34% of referrals followed up within 24 hours. Coordinators spent 5.2 hours per week on manual tracking and reporting. Pipeline visibility required a full two-hour weekly build. No early-warning system for stalled referrals.
After
97% of referrals followed up within 2 hours of receipt. Coordinator tracking time reduced to 20 minutes per week. Real-time pipeline dashboard replaced the manual report entirely. Referral close rate improved by 28% across tracked chapters.
"We went from losing referrals in spreadsheets to having a live dashboard that tells us exactly what's moving and what's stalled. The follow-up sequencing alone has changed the game for our members."
