Welcome TNT Leaders

• The President is responsible for leading the meeting and motivating all Leadership Members to fulfill their duties and responsibilities in a timely manner.
• Submit Monthly Report online no later than the 5th of the following month.
• Pay attention to emails from corporate.
• If leadership changes, complete the Website Change Request.

• Maintain the agenda to keep the meeting to the specified time.
• Always end the meeting on a positive note.

Texting or talking amongst the chapter members should be disciplined on each occurrence. If the problem persists, Membership Leader of your Chapter is to take the appropriate action at the request of the President per Total Networking Team Policies & Procedures.

Conduct a leadership meeting a minimum every 8 weeks. Leaderships goals are to discuss all current Chapter reports and discuss chapter business goals.

Coordinate an Open Forum meeting in place of the normal 10 minute presentation every 8 – 10 weeks. 

A Leadership Binder is a tool for your chapter's leadership team to run the meetings smoothly. Inside the binder, each leader has their one folder with all of their materials. These folders are to stay with the chapter week to week. This helps the chapter run smoothly incase of absences, because the member filling that role will be able to have all of the materials needs.

A TNT Chapter is only as strong as its weakest member and the selection process of new members is crucial to the health of the chapter as a whole.  It is up to the Membership Committee to ensure this process is carried out with attention to detail and nothing falls through the cracks. You are essentially your chapter's talent scout. Membership Committee tracks:

• Interview and Induct New Members
• Keep track of Member Attendance and the Anniversary Month of Each Member. 
• Report to Corporate if Members reach 2 or more absences in a 6 month period, and schedule an outside meeting to discuss with the member.
• Report to Corporate when members are inducted or leave the chapter via the Website Change Form
• Fill out your Weekly Chapter Attendance. 
  • Leave of Absence can be requested by the member filling out the Extended Leave Request Form.  Corporate will forward to Leadership once approved or denied.

After referrals are passed the Chapter President will invite the guest(s), to meet with the Membership Committee for a quick exchange at the end of the meeting. This is an opportunity for Membership to confirm the visitor's interest in potentially joining TNT. 

• Encourage visitors to reach out and interact with other members. 
• Encourage visitors to also visit other chapters if their category is open.
• Offer visitors your personal experience(s) with TNT or reference another person's experience as testimony.
• Also, try to suggest to the visitor a complimentary or synergistic category member who might benefit from them joining and passing business referrals between each other (I.E., Real Estate Agent + Mortgage Broker or Property Inspector and Foundation Repair Company)

TNT Attendance Policy - TNT has a generous two term period for the year, six months each. This comes with a liberal allowance of 6 substitutes in each term. We encourage members to invite a visitor as a sub. 

• Tardies and Early Exits are Tracked, and equal 1/2 an absence.
• *Members who arrive 15 minutes or more late are marked absent. Members who leave 15 minutes or more early are also absent.
• Three (3) absences are the maximum allotted.
• Provide members with a report on their attendance that they initial at the end or beginning of each month.

• Come 15 minutes or more early and schedule outside meetings to enhance your relationships. 
• Invite a visitor as a sub.
• Prepare subs as you would an employee working for you. Since your visitor is representing you and your business prepare them with your 60 second pitch. 
• Members encourage their subs to be early and/or on time, and stay for the entire meeting. (They must be 18 years of age.)

It is vitally important that member applications are processed very carefully and promptly. If membership needs assistance in decision-making, the next process is to speak with your Chapter Vice President. Applications will be received by Membership Committee and the President of your Chapter.

• Reach out to the applicant in a timely manner to schedule an interview. 
• Conduct the interview using the Interview Guide
• Reach out to let the Member know if they have been accepted or regretfully denied. If accepted, invite them to pay @ https://theoriginalstnt.com/pay-now-1 . Encourage them to send you a copy of their receipt to confirm payment. 
• No member is inducted until membership fees & dues have been received and an online application is submitted. Once payment is submitted online and the recurring form filled out, Corporate will notify you, if you have not received the application then it did not get submitted and you cannot induct the new member.
• Update the chapter's Spreadsheet new member's information and prepare a New Member Folder for them.
• When inducting a new member, read their bio from their application to the group highlighting them. Using the Code of Ethics you may induct them and gift them a New Member Folder and any promotional items you choose to use.
• Once the member is inducted, instruct them to go to the website and check their new profile for accuracy and "Like" TNT's Facebook Page as well as the individual chapter pages. 

This Leadership position is responsible of explaining how the group does their business each week. You will want to make sure you are detailed in how the group uses their business card book and slips to operate business.   

Your chapter will have a business card binder filled with pages of business cards from each of the members. Only members can have their cards in the book, but members and visitors are encouraged to take all the cards they need from the book. Members should keep their pages full for this reason. 

The book should always be moving around the room, and should be passed along with the 60 second star after presentations. 

The business moves through the group via referral and outside meeting slips. Make sure you explain how each slip is to be filled out and handled.

Referral slips is what drives the success of networking. Passing business back and forth, giving new leads and introductions, or just offering support is why we are looking to network. Take the time to explain what a hot, warm and cold lead is and how members can increase the close rate of the referral with a warm introduction. 

Outside meetings drive connection between members and visitors. Make sure you cover what qualifies as an outside meeting and what doesn't and encourage the group to have business minded conversations to maximize their time investments.

Increase your chapter's visibility with the power of social media, receive mentoring and support, digital marketing tools and access to your chapter's social media. 

You will post on stories and learn to schedule posts, record short videos and take pictures and create events. 

Encourage your groups activity on the page by sharing and liking content, sharing in their stories or timelines, responding to events and inviting other local business owners and entrepreneurs to follow the page. 

Each social media platform has a different way that is prioritizes content. Facebook is no exception. Knowing what kind of content is the most visible and making sure your efforts are not wasted are the keys to success on social media.

1. Stories- Stories are the best place to been seen. Post a motivational quote, picture of the 50/50 winner, video of the mentor moment or just a great picture of a smiling room.
2. Lives- Going live during your meeting notifies your audience that you are producing content, which increases visibility. Referrals, testimonies, opening the meeting, trainings and awarding winner are great ideas for content during lives.
3. Video- Recording videos is a great strategy for growing a reserve of content you can fall back on and they are viewed more then photos and text. 
4. Photos- We all have done it... scrolled mindlessly until something catches our eye and brings our focus to that content. Think of what draws the eye, mind and intention with the photos you post. Smiling, engaging faces are highly effective.
5. Text- Referred to as 'copy' in the marketing world, you want to make sure that your copy on posts is effective psychologically. 👇

• PAS (Problem, Agitate, Solve)

                -State a problem. Your audience probably has no shortage of them.

                -Agitate that problem. Rub salt in the wound.

                -Roll out the solution. This is where you ride in with the solution

• Bridge After Bridge

                -Show your audience what life is like right now. Make sure it's not too impressive     

                -Then, explain how that world could be made better. The secret? Your product.

                -Next, show them how your product or service can make that world a reality

• AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action)

                -Get your audience’s attention. This could be with your post copy or headline.

                -Stoke their interest. Provide some details interesting them to learning more.

                -Generate desire. Show your reader how much life could be better if they just …

                -… take action. Give them a clear call-to-action to learn more.       

•  4 C’s (Clear, Concise, Compelling, Credible)

                -Clear: Avoid using overly complex language or sentence structures.

                -Concise: Keep it brief. (good advice for writing on social media, in general)

                -Compelling: Be interesting and relevant to your audience.

                -Credible: Make sure you can back up your claims. 

• 4 P's (Picture, Promise, Prove, Push)

                -Picture: Set the scene with your post image.

                -Promise: Commit to giving your readers something they’re interested in.

                -Prove: Then, prove you can deliver on that promise.

                -Push: Next, give them a subtle shove to click and take the next step.

As your Chapter's Mentor, you are the resource for your fellow networking partners who are new to TNT and Networking alike. You will work with new members who are inducting into your chapter to mentor them in their networking.

Utilize the New Member Success Guide and conduct a proper outside meeting with them to show them the appropriate way to conduct a meeting. 

If you are unsure of how to properly have a meeting, please reach out to the corporate team to schedule one.

During the meetings, you will close out with some Mentoring Moments. It has been really fun to see how each chapter develops their own unique spin. 

Think of different principles, motivational quotes, stories or tips that will encourage your chapter to go out and be successful in the week ahead.

Google can be your friend if you don't have something that you want to bring up, but take notes through the week of motivational tidbits, excerpts of the latest book you are reading or something powerful you heard in your favorite personal development podcast. 

When members are struggling to meet goals, follow through or invite, help guide them utilizing the training videos to help educate them on the value doing those tasks.
