How BNI Aurora Members Should Record TYFCB

1. One-Time Sales (Trades, Web Designers, Real Estate, Retail, etc.)

If you complete a single transaction, record the full amount after the sale is finalised.

Example: A plumber completes a $1,500 job from a referral → Record $1,500 TYFCB.

3. Real Estate & Mortgage Brokers

Record TYFCB only when the deal is settled. Eg; A mortgage broker arranges a home loan for $500,000 and earns a 0.6% commission → Record $3,000 TYFCB.

For ongoing services, record the first 12 months of revenue.
