Member FAQ

BNIConnect and BNI Business Builder Login

Q. How do I get a BNIConnect and BNI Business Builder login?
A. Every new member automatically receives an email the Executive Director with a link to setup their login (user name, password, memorable question, and answer). If you didn’t receive it or need it resent contact your Chapter Support Director. Include your name, your chapter name, and your email address.

Q. I’m a new member, how do I get a login so I can register for Member Success Program (MSP)?
A. New members usually receive an email with a link to setup their website login within a week of being inducted. If you don't see it in your "Inbox" it might be in your spam folder. If you have been a member less than a week and are ready to register for MSP go to BNI4Success calendar(it is located at the top of the BNI4Success.com webpage), find the event you want to register for. You do not need to be logged into BNIConnect to Register for Trainings..

Q. My login link doesn’t work. How do I setup my login?
A. If your link doesn’t work please contact your Chapter Support Director. A new link will be emailed to you. Include your Name and Chapter Name. The three most common reasons a link doesn’t work: 1). The login setup link expires after it is clicked once (whether or not a login was setup). 2). If a new link is issued any previous links will no longer work. 3). If the login was setup the link will not work (and is not needed, since the purpose of the link is to setup a login).

Q. How do I login if I forgot my user name and password?
A. 1: go to http://bniconnectglobal.com

Q. The lost password tool is giving me an error message when I enter my e-mail address.
A. If your email address is not recognized it’s usually because either your login was not setup or the email address in your BNIConnect.com profile is different from the email address you typed into the Lost Password tool. Contact our Operations Department, [email protected]. Let them know if you need a link to setup your login or need your email address updated. 

Q. My login won’t work - what’s wrong?
A. If your membership status is something other than “active” your login will not work until your membership status is “active” again. Common causes: annual membership dues are late or a member is in process transferring to another chapter.

Member Profile Page

Q. Why are my phone number and email address missing from my profile page?
A. For privacy reasons, member phone numbers and email addresses do not display on their profile page until the member updates their account settings. (Login to BNIConnect.com > My Account > Account Settings). Update your account settings to enable visitors to the public site to contact you. If you update the settings to allow visitors to email you a "Send Email” button will appear on your public profile. Your email address will not be revealed on the public site. BNI members who are logged into BNIConnect will be able to view your email address if you enable this in your Account Settings.

Q. I updated my account settings; why isn’t my phone number displaying on my profile?
A. If you update (uncheck) the “Home Office” check box on the account setting page it will prevent your phone number and street address from displaying on your public member profile page. Either check the box or add your phone number to your business description (My Profile page in the My Business section.)

Q. How do I update my contact information?
A. Login to BNIConnect.com, click My Account, then click the Contact Details button. Remember to Click Submit to save changes.

Q. I’d like complete my profile. What information can I add and where?
A. Add your photo, business description, search words, website address, social networking links, bio, and much more. Login to BNIConnect.com, click My Account, then update the following pages: Main Profile, User Profile, Contact Details, Account Settings, and Bio. The Bio page contains several sections. Data in all sections is viewable by BNI members who login to BNIConnect. The only information on the Bio page that is viewable on your public profile page is the TOPS section.
