Key Points
- BeeKonnected was established with the intent of eliminating the frustration entrepreneurs usually face when juggling multiple software programs day-to-day.
- This platform strives to make all products and business owners discoverable. Algorithms or sponsored posts will not determine who can be seen.
- Aside from user equality, BeeKonnected also prioritizes user privacy and does not sell users’ data.
We had the opportunity to speak with Cassie Parks, the Chief Strategy Officer at BeeKonnected, to learn more about this innovative and imaginative online platform. With the goal of simplifying online activity for entrepreneurs, BeeKonnected has built an environment where anyone with a dream and a drive can be given the same level of visibility and significance. In conjunction, this program is digestible and combines the tasks of various software into one integrated system. Let’s swarm this metaphorical beehive:
How the Queen Bee Came to Be
Tonya Hofmann – the Former CEO and Founder of the Public Speakers Association – recognized that the tech world was an unsupportive space for entrepreneurs in the early stages of their career. (Particularly those in the self-development and coaching spheres.) All the tools needed to presumably successfully run a business were held on different software platforms. This tends to complicate performing administrative tasks and onboarding perspective clients.
In February 2020 – just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic – BeeKonnected was launched. Through this platform, users could now access various tools that were in separate software, including virtual communication for conference calls and the like. As this also incorporated a feed similar to popular social media sources, it aided entrepreneur empowerment by connecting them with their target audience seamlessly.
Cassie Parks earned her master’s in counseling, with her passion residing in coaching. After investing in real estate, she garnered enough passive income to take a shot at her dream career. At her starting point, she experienced the challenges firsthand of employing multiple tech platforms for her life coaching business. She encountered BeeKonnected and immediately wished it was something she had available to her initially. While using BeeKonnected for her coaching services, she also joined the BeeKonnected team to help other entrepreneurs avoid the possible headaches of building their own business.
BeeKonnected: Creating the Colony
Simplification is the objective, which is why BeeKonnected prides itself on existing as a comprehensive, all-in-one online platform. BeeKonnected is proud to offer facilities such as:
Virtual Conference System with Side Buttons
Here, users can host webinars and live sessions, all while displaying side buttons that allow attendees to click, purchase, or engage during the presentation.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
With a built-in CRM, BeeKonnected will automatically capture and store lead information when someone joins a group or schedules an appointment.
Konnection Generator
An encompassing search engine that lets users find businesses, service providers, or even individuals with the same interests or needs.
Course Hosting and Group Management
Entrepreneurs can cultivate their own engagement communities through either public or private groups, or by hosting courses.
The Royal Jelly: Remedying Pain Points
Subsequently, business owners that stitch together numerous software for their business – a term BeeKonnected refers to as “Frankensteining” – typically meet other bones of contention. Correspondingly, BeeKonnected has cultivated processes to cure these pain points.
Lost Sales
During live, virtual events, cluttered chat links can result in link burials. This has the potential to limit entrepreneurs’ sales and future attendances. The side buttons located on the side of their screen make purchasing, writing testimonials, and acquiring other relevant information straightforward.
Tracking and Crediting Referrals as a Network Marketer
When businesses are affiliate-based it tends to get difficult to follow who should get credit for a sale. BeeKonnected incorporated a P3 System that tracks referrals and ensures credit of the proper individual.
Client Fragmentation
If a client is participating in several courses with various coaches, online platforms have required them to maintain a unique login for each respective course. This makes it cumbersome to switch between learning modules and community groups. BeeKonnected has structured their service so that only one login is needed, and all self-development activities can be engaged in one place.
Online Suppression
Social media platforms typically change their algorithm constantly and without warning. In most situations, only certain types of content are promoted, leaving many early-stage entrepreneurs feeling helpless. BeeKonnected has resolved to operate without an algorithm barrier. Regardless of your activity, your content is shared and viewable by all.
Data Protection
Several platforms have been found to be selling user data to third parties. BeeKonnected has refused to follow suit and does not sell user data. This can potentially make users utilize the service with confidence and a sense of safety.
The Need for Pollen and Propolis: BeeKonnected Seeking Investors
Services like BeeKonnected thrive with more users and more awareness. With this knowledge, BeeKonnected invites prospective investors to meet with their Chief Content Officer and Chief Operating Officer to get a full understanding of the platform, its growth strategy, and its financial performance. Furthermore, they can also communicate with the CEO to acquire full transparency before making an investment decision.
Investors who share similar sentiments to the BeeKonnected squad have the opportunity to invest. Their investment plan is available to anyone who sees the vision and wants to get involved via varying investment levels. BeeKonnected offers pricing tiers that are built to scale with business growth. In addition, they provide flexibility at each stage for both entrepreneurs and anticipating investors as they believe they are poised for expansion.
Filling the Honeycomb
"Connecting you is what we do!” This is the guiding philosophy BeeKonnected works under. Their ambition is to give every voice a platform to be heard, as there will always be someone out there who needs your services. They hope to help foster meaningful connections between clients, students, entrepreneurial individuals and entities. Most importantly, they want to make building said communities an easy endeavor.
