From the BeeKeeper:
Attracting the Success You Deserve
A sure fire way to attract success is to Add Value to every key relationship in your life. The trick is to go beyond everyone's expectations and to do it in ways that are relatively inexpensive to you or ways that cost you nothing.
In business, for instance, when you add value to your clients you make them feel like there's no one better to do business with than you. In your personal life, when you add value to people close to you--or those you want close to you--you make them glad they are near you and keep them interested in staying close.
Example:
We can look to nature for a perfect example. Think about bees. They go from flower to flower collecting raw materials to produce their product. Essentially they are in the honey making business. Their career is working to support themselves and the rest of their family in the hive. But they also create a by-product. They add value to the rest of the world by pollinating.
What are you doing to pollinate your world?
When you're looking to promote yourself or to create a good buzz for your business, remember the bees. Add value to your world. Your reward will be choice.

I am a Newbee to the hive. 3 weeks ago I posed my question about needing hotel tickets and within a few hours I was all booked up! This is a great service and an even more wonderful game. What a way to network…I love it!

BeeKeeper’s Tip:
This is a repeat from another Beeline because it has come to my attention that some bees need to brush up on their follow up skills!
Follow up:
Your follow up techniques will directly determine your success in this game. Here are some tips to help you.
1 - Fellow Bees cannot see who has posed the questions, so if you receive someone’s business card, you should always reply with an email to them. Perhaps you have already met this person online and you have direct contact with them. It is still good form to click their email link on their business card and reply to let them know who you are and that you appreciate their lead.
This is simply a good way to communicate. The person who thinks they have a lead for you will not be left hanging. Bring each transaction to completion.
2 - Quite often people are very busy and will not always get back to you immediately. Give the person who has promised you a lead a few days to get back to you. After that, contact them again with a friendly reminder that they said they had a lead.
Failing that…contact the BeeKeeper for help. Everyone has promised to play with integrity and if you feel that is not in place, then I need to know!
3 - When contacting the lead you have been given, always be very professional. Explain to the person why you are contacting them and make sure that you find out more about what “they do”. You have a new opportunity to meet a fresh “contact” so make the most of it.
4 - Create a draft (or a similar system) for follow up on your computer. By systemizing the process you will speed things up considerably. Whenever you receive someone’s card to tell you that they have a lead for you, click on their email link on their card and simply copy/paste the draft into the email. Make sure that you also copy/paste the question that they have answered. (located in you’re my Questions section)
5 - Follow up on your leads quickly. If you wait for days and days to respond to a business card that has been sent to you the lead may have gone cold.
6 - Endeavor to check the “Hive” daily and give your leads to people. This game is designed for you to “give” of yourself. The more you give leads to other players, the more leads will come to you! That is a fact.
By systemizing, completing your follow up process and giving of yourself you will greatly increase your chances for SUCCE$$ in this game. Good Luck and “contact the BeeKeeper” if you would like some help. I am always in the “Hive”!
