Out of Sight, Out of Mind

In business, we cannot afford to be in the category of “out of sight, out of mind” because that makes it easy for others to ignore us. I share five ways to stay visible to your clients, prospects, and referral partners, including social media and thank-you cards. What are your thoughts? https://tinyurl.com/yc2tkzz7

Referral Quality Beats Quantity

As business professionals, we want to get a good number of referrals; not more than we can effectively handle, yet enough to keep our business growing. Investing time each week to build relationships with our referral partners can increase the quality of the referrals we receive. https://tinyurl.com/4874p4rv

Strategy gets you on the road.
The strength of your relationships determines your top speed.

The right connections open doors faster, create opportunities sooner, and help momentum build in ways strategy alone can’t.

As you think about the next six months, identify which relationships will help you move further and faster toward your goals. IvanMisner.com

Networking is MORE Than Just Talking Business

It is about building personal relationships. If you remove the personal part from the equation, you limit the amount of business that can happen.
I recommend using the GAINS exchange when meeting with networking partners.
