A profound truth. I just left a meeting with a potential teammember of my company. She felt comfortable talking with me even tho she and I are former competitors in business because I have always returned her calls, greeted her as a colleage and called with genuninte interest during our industry’s great change (financial sector). It is how you treat people that makes the difference. Now with her as a possible teammate, our region could get the ultimate ROI from a Return on RELATIONSHIP.

Dear Dr. Misner,

Perhaps yet another manifestation of our “instant gratification” society. Many come and many go, but the few of us that “get it” stick around to nuture those relationships that bear abundant fruit at maturity.

In someways it almost seems like people are not willing to do the work necessary to grow a relationship. They only have time for love at first sight.

Another powerful point in successful word of mouth marketing, quality takes more time.

Thank you, Dr. Misner.

All the Best,

Thank you for pointing out the value of nourishing relationships over time. This works particularly well when combined with your “Giver’s Gain” mindset. I have developed great relationships in my BNI chapter that have generated lots of referrals, but I also take that mindset with me to all networking events I participate in. When my goal is to find what I can do for others that I meet, I always go home feeling great, because I am often able to connect people to others that can help them fill a need. Over time, I follow up, share coffee and ideas, and then the magic happens and great referrals materialize. What a great and rewarding way to do business. Thank you for spreading the word!

I really enjoy your podcasts. This particular podcast is in my opinion the missing link to successful networking and marketing your business.

Very few people seem to understand the concept of building relationships and its powerful potential. And yet, it’s such a basic concept.

Thank you for your stories that make learning so much easier.
