From the BeeKeeper:
Building Rapport
Networking gives you the opportunity to create strong rapport. When you have a good rapport you and the potential client feel at ease with each other, and conversation is not strained. Rapport creates feelings of trust and honesty. Potential clients who trust you usually do not have a second thought about referring you or hiring you directly. The idea is to build relationships which, in turn, help build your “circle of influence”.

(to have your success story printed here, submit it to the BeeKeeper-you will bee awarded 5 “Honey Pot” points!)
Since the summer last year I had a "big idea" for putting together a large, successful fundraiser, to create awareness of my products and at the same time make a significant contribution to a charity. I had visualized the outcome in detail, but did not have all of the know-how or contacts to put it together.
Through Beehive Game Online, not only have I decided what the Charity organization will be, but have found the person who is going to help make it happen. It is a win-win situation. In addition, through the Beehive Game ‘Live” events and “Intimate” Alliances event, I have found the person who will help create the perfect atmosphere for the event with his music!"

BeeKeeper’s Tip:
Remember the “Law of reciprocity”? You will gain more referrals if you give more referrals. This statement is true, but do not give a referral lightly. Like a testimonial, you are putting your reputation on the line each and every time you give a referral. You have a responsibility to yourself and the referral recipient to ensure that your recommendation is of good quality.

Somewhere within the Neworld Coaching website there is an Orange Beehive similar to this .
Find that Beehive and contact either the office at Neworld Coaching via their website, or “contact the BeeKeeper” via this website and describe exactly where you found the Orange Beehive.
