I work Hard for my Money so why should I give any to You?

I work hard for my money, and I barely know you, so why should I give your business more of my time or money?

Do you, waaay too often, bump into this attitude both from your current clients and fresh prospects? You've already given them your business card, met over lunch and followed up with several phone calls. What's left?

According to a recent study by FedEx®, there is a proven marketing solution, ROR, that can elicit greater customer loyalty and patronage. Their study demonstrates that a company can anticipate up to 30% increased business growth, both in numbers and volume, by developing a solid ROR (return on relationship) marketing program.

ROR is about building relationships with your clients and prospects that can produce a stronger and more consistent bottom line. Discover, for your business, what FedEx® already uses for their business growth. The same ROR factor can ideally work for nonprofits to raise much needed funds for growing missions, also.

Your prospects may step onto the bus as individuals but will step off to your venue as a part of your expanded network.

Our focus is clear and our efforts are driven.

Yes, in the Linkedin family you Do get to Choose your Relatives

We anticipate certain things from family, such as support and loyalty. We tolerate certain things about family, such as habits and attitudes. After all, family is family, and we don't get to choose how those genes spill out into the world. 

It's often said that one doesn't get to choose their family members. So, it’s not unheard of that we may also try to keep any family skeletons hidden away.

The Linkedin Family

I have discovered a certain affinity to Linkedin as an extended family. I assume that members are savvy to understand, and sharp enough to act on the potential resources offered by Linkedin. After all, I joined Linkedin with the intent to enhance my business success.

When I meet a new contact, and as we exchange cards, I ask if they belong to Linkedin. If they say yes, I smile...I've just discovered a new family member that I can interact and grow with.

Building your Business can be less stressful

My natural skills is servicing my business. I'm very good at what I do and I offer an excellent product that's backed by fantastic service. However, I'm aware that networking is an important tool to build my business but I often find that the process can be very stressful.
