GO BANANAS!!! When Building Strong Business Relationships.

---Top Rated Posting from September 6th 2010---

Did you know that the number one selling item at SuperWalmart is bananas. (according to Bloomberg/ Business Week).
Wow!? …who would have thought!
According to Progressive Grocer Magazine, 75% of supermarket shoppers purchase bananas on a regular basis due to their 1). nutritional value, 2). low cost, and 3). the fact that bananas are a very perishable product.

What is the number one strategy in building your business through networking?
Correct!
Building strong relationships! And, just like bananas, strong trusting relationships are nutritious (in a business sense), can be very cost effective, and very perishable if you do not keep your “credibility” in stock.
Here are three quick tips to maintain a good "credible" inventory of your networking relationships.
1). Send a “reconnecting” email if you have not seen or heard from them in the last 30 days.
2). A personal inspirational greeting card is a great way to remind them of your relationship.
3). It may be old fashion in today’s techie world, but a simple “Hi Joe, how are things going this week?” phone call, really sends a message that you care.

So when it comes to building strong relationships...Go Bananas!!!
