h. Another
way we develop business relationships is doing some things for nothing,
that’s right give of yourself. Truly giving to give. Giving for the
sake of giving. This is truly one of the most important concepts that I
can talk about tonight. You must give with the true intent to give not
because you feel some obligation to give and you have to give without
expecting anything in return. And then you will be surprised what you
get in return.
i. Another way we develop relationships is to stay in action - Do one thing on this list daily
j. Social
media is another way– Give endorsements to others on LinkedIn. You can
endorse all of the people in your LinkedIn network. This is a great
way to strengthen relationships as every time you endorse someone you
are giving them a vote of confidence. By the way, when you do this
people begin to endorse you as well! With respect to other social
networking activities they are good, but ration your time – you need to
be careful here, spend no more than 30 minutes a day at the most. Don’t
get hooked here!
k. Another
way we develop business relationships is to become a connector of
people. Become a hub. What does being a hub mean? You are a hub when
people call you, because you know so many people that they assume you
are bound to know someone who can help them. This is Very very powerful!
People call me out of the blue because they know I know people and when
they need something they call me to see if I can recommend someone.
l. You need to leverage all these tools and strategies.
m. Please keep this in mind - Business Relationship building is a process. It's a journey, it is not a final destination. There is no end to it.
