For Sales Growth, "bee" yourself, "bee" original

By Lori Richardson Mar 12, 2009, 7:16:00 AM

Recently spoke at a women's event in Downtown Seattle, and brought my props - a hardhat and a Bee hat - they were a bigger hit than expected, and helped me drive the point home that you need to wear that prospecting hat when focused on making contacts and connections, but you also must be able to have fun and enjoy what you are doing (hence, the Bee hat).

Thanks to Coventry Jankowski, owner of greeting card website Gimme Grace, for "selling" me on the idea of giving her my Bee hat, and for a few fun poses.

How can you "bee" original and memorable?
