Ask any successful businessperson what's at the root of his or her success, and over and over you'll hear, "It's all about relationships." But building meaningful business relationships doesn't happen overnight. It all comes down to establishing credibility and trust with others who will then refer your business to friends and partners. Not sure where to start? Expand your networking opportunities by actively looking for events and venues that will give you prime networking access. Join a social networking site, start a blog, sponsor a charitable event, attend a tradeshow or actively participate in local business organizations like Rotary or Chamber of Commerce. Just getting your company's name out there is your first step to weaving a wide web of valuable relationships.
This month's newsletter is filled with strategies and resources for expanding your network. So grab your business cards, put on a smile, and get ready to work the room! |

Rave of the Month
Cringe-Free Customer Service
"I'm more than impressed with your impeccable customer service and follow-up. As a designer, I always cringe when I have to turn over a job to a printer. It seems that's when the problems and excuses always start. I was hesitant to use an internet-based, non-local printer, but your guarantee was too good to pass up. And the fact that you agreed to do PMS inks for me clinched the deal. The final results were perfect. I was one hundred percent satisfied....and I'm picky! I will definitely use you again in the future and recommend you to others. Thank you for making good on your promises. You have a loyal customer!"
