If you don't get out there and build a contact base, you can't expect to do well. I've seen so many ventures fail because people just expect business to come to them. Business should be about relationships, building relationships with clients and only then will you get more revenue from your work. To me, relationships are the key to building your business.

It's a great reminder to re-evaluate how one's business is creating and maintaining quality, long-lasting relationships with not only customers but partners and competitors.

Its especially true for us in Real Estate. Our lifeblood is referrals and staying 'in touch'. Over 80% of people surveyed said that they would refer their Realtor to a family member but only 7% actually do. Why? The Realtor didnt stay 'in touch'. Those numbers are scary and an opportunity for those of us committed to Full-Time Real estate and Full-time realtionships. SO TRUE! Its especially true for us in Real Estate.
