Relationship Networking - Are you making a difference?
I received a link for a video stream this morning that really touched me. Althought this video is about customer service, when you think about it, creating relationships, building and maintaining those relationships, making connections between people, and the desire to Pay It Forward are all part of customer service.
Imagine a world where we all work on a referral basis. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to refer someone in your category because you are too busy and cannot handle all the business that is given to you? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you made a difference in everyone’s life that you touch by making introductions to people that could use each others services? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your database of referrals were always at the forefront of your mind and everyday you referred someone from that database? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if YOU were the “go-to” person for everyone’s referral needs?
It starts with a smile, a handshake and the deep desire to get to know someone. Can you make a difference today?
Thank you to Jonathan Roob for taking this picture of Brian Moak at my showcase. Brian made a big difference in my life by planting the seed in my mind, and continually supporting my efforts to become a professional speaker. I will always be grateful to Brian for making a difference in my life.

You did a good job of telling us what you need to do to become a good relationship builder. Making referrals and introductions is so important for making a difference. You will stand out as someone who is connected and will eventually become the “go-to” person as you stated. You need to pothink about helping others first always. By Paying It Forward, your time will come to ask for help.
