In your business, many of your biggest opportunities will come form the relationships you’ve built along the way. You know, that referral that helped you secure your biggest client. The recommendation that helped you get a 6-book deal. The email that started the flurry of paid speaking engagements. The social media endorsement that sent an insane amount of traffic to your website..
It can some times feel like these opportunities fall out of the sky, but often they are the result of building loyal and lasting relationships with customers, colleagues and key influencers.
So, in this webinar we will discuss the benefits of identifying relationships that foster your long term business goals and how to become a influential leader, yourself to change someone else’s life or business in an extraordinary way.
