Meeting August 13, 2009 – General Discussion
Well first off as everyone can see our website is back up and running now. To quickly explain someone created a specific URL that when requested would allow a attacker to bypass the security check when a user uses a lost password reset. As a result this allowed a attacker to reset the admin password and have it emailed to them. Once in they had a little fun with our site.
Our education coordinator continued in his series on attendance and its effects on leads. He sited a few case studies done by the BNI. In one case study a grop with 14 members who was averaging 2.1 absentces per member and 188 referrals per year put their minds to it and got that average down to 1 absence per member over the next quarter and they showed a gain of 43% in their referral numbers. Another group with 11 members was averaging 2 absences per member and 122 referrals for the year, in dropping that down to 1 per member they got a 164% gain in referrals.
So what does this all mean, well; as the od saying says “Showing up is 90% of life.” Meaning by just working on your attendance any group can double their leads in six months.
