Trust is the most important part of any relationship. When we think about trust, the first thing that comes to mind is “Who Can I count on.” Our friends or close family members are people with whom we can share life means all the events, the ups and the downs. Think about who we talk to every day about stuff. The simple things that happen to us, when we think about those that we share the most mundane details of our lives with and those are the people we trust and have the deepest relationships with.#podcast #trust #sales https://lnkd.in/gPNHkZgq

Oh this is a good one... 😳 I recently hosted a podcast with my good friend, @bri.marsh, and we talked all things referral network. While we were talking, Bri said, "No relationship can just be a one-time conversation." She hit the nail on the freakin' head you guys. Honestly, how many times have you had a conversation with someone and planned to follow up with them, but never did? it happens more than we like to admit, right? Think about how many missed opportunities you have when that happens. Think about all the potential things that you could have gotten if you would have just followed up. In the real estate world, especially in the referral program department, conversation is literally the *key* to growing your referral network. You have to get your name out there. How do you do that? By having intentional conversations with other real estate professionals. 👏 You have to be authentically yourself, and when you are, people are going to see you for who you truly are. People are going to want to work with you because it's YOU. Because you've made the effort to build a relationship with them. Take those extra steps to get to know someone. It takes five minutes of your day to make a big impact on someone else. For example: • wish them a happy birthday • congratulate them on a big accomplishment • wish them luck on their pcs • send a "thinking of you" message Do what is comfortable for you, just talk to people. Growing your real estate referral network starts by building genuine, authentic relationships. • • • • • #coreopscollective #realestateoperations #realestateops #referralprogram #realestatereferral #referralnetwork #network #growyourbusiness #realestateadvice #realestatesuccess #realtor #realestateteam #buildingrealtionships

I accomplished an incredible feat of networking this past year.   As I decided to get into the business of networking, human connection, and all things that can help fix the loneliness epidemic, I created a list of 1,000s of experts on the topic.   I then narrowed that down to 10 people I could get in touch with.   After sending personalized messages to those 10, two replied back.   Of those two, I was actually able to create a connection with Aaron Karo, who happens to be a NYT best-selling author, comedian, screenwriter and friendship expert hosting the top friendship podcast: Man of the Year   But…this isn't really what happened.   In reality, my fiancé and I were attending my cousins wedding in Lake Arrowhead.   We met many my cousin's friends at welcome drinks the day before the wedding.   We got to speaking with Karo because he and my fiancé are both writers.   Us and a few others were the only ones that decided to go to a few bars in town.   As we got to speaking more, I shared I was working on a newsletter and company to help people connect more meaningfully.   Karo told me about his Man of the Year podcast and the goal of changing the fact we are in a friendship recession—15% of men report having zero close friends.   We've been in touch ever since. The three of us even grabbed drinks yesterday.   The point is, networking doesn't only have to be through the "traditional" methods that sometimes seem like a chore.   It can be organic with the people you meet out in your everyday life.   Be genuine, share your interests, and maybe you'll connect with a comedian that starts to roast you from time to time.   Follow me on LinkedIn and sign up for buildbetter for reminders to connect better with those around you.   Link in comments⬇   #connections #netowrking #buildbetter

Networking plays a critical role when you are searching for a #job or maybe seeking #guidance. We all heard from somewhere that we need to keep our #network strong because that's what helps us in the long run. BUT how can we do #networking? "I am a student, I don't know anything about networking." "There is no need for networking just work and go home" "I need help about this or that topic but I don't know who to reach" We hear people say these things all the time and coming from an #introvert herself, making #connections is THE MOST DIFFICULT THING. But you need to take that leap either send a connection or send a message. start the conversation and start making connections. We have just uploaded another podcast that is going to help all the students out there. So, go watch and learn from the very talented Fatima Siddiqui. Here is the link: https://lnkd.in/dMn964sQ

Networking for People Who Hate Networking (WorkLife by Adam Grant) Contrary to popular belief, if you are reading this, you are not alone among a large body of people who may get queasy at the idea of networking. Adam Grant features in a networking informational podcast with mini-interviews with professionals relating to various networking scenarios. To my surprise, this podcast actually highlights ORGANIC networking. As in, rather than being at a one-on-one dinner party with Hors D'oeuvres or walking up to people in malls to pitch multi-level-marketing (yuk!), these mini-interviews describe just having regular everyday conversations with regular everyday people. Essentially, you never know when you might stumble into someone in the right place and the right time. One story describes someone who was going into a business for rug maintenance. As a disgruntled customer, he won a deal with a silk rug due to the original complaint. The sale ended up making several thousands more anyway, and down the line, the customer ended up being an investor for the rug business owner's future ventures. Seriously: Just be in the right place and the right time. Well, when and where is that? You may never know. Challenge yourself to get comfortable with being open to conversations at any time with all types of people, from all walks of life. You never know when that connection could lead to life-changing partnerships. It truly is easier than you think. I personally enjoyed this podcast. The mini-interviews came from a wide range of careers and social situations. One interview highlighted the benefits of networking within one's corporate job. One suggestion included using your co-workers as a resource when solving problems. This includes your co-workers at all levels, and even your extended network within the same industry. It is reported that those who are willing and open to ask for help with getting things done have higher performance; I have experienced this from instrument sales, where I pulled wisdom from various co-workers who were experts in niche products to close the sale. Most of the time, you won't know everything about every aspect of your job. Zero-in on your fortes, and resource your co-workers for the rest. You'll have the best of both worlds. The podcast did not leave much room for my own personal scrutiny, because I truly valued the diversity of the content of the interviews, and it involved personal introspection, even to the assessment of one's fears of rejection!

❤ HOW TO LIVE TO 100 AND HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS ----- We just finished watching this great documentary with my wife, highly recommended! Even though every Blue Zone is rather different in terms of lifestyle, there is ONE THING all of them have in common. Every Blue Zone is centered around community, strong relationships, and social support. People often cook together, go to the market together, garden together, spend hours with friends and family every day. ----- I have always considered myself to be rather closed and quiet - simply because I never had too many close connections. But what they also emphasized in the show is that it´s less about the quantity (how many people you know/meet) and more about the quality of your existing relationships. And so over the years I have stopped feeling bad for not having as many connections and I started focusing on the quality and depth of my current relationships. ----- I have found there´s a few aspects that determine the depth and quality of my relationships. And whenever I feel out of alignment with someone, I come back to these aspects/questions and we work on realigning our relationship: ✅do we know each other´s dreams and goals? ✅do we know what we´re most excited about? ✅do we know what we´re most worried about? ✅do we laugh together and at each other, do we have fun? ✅do we have uncomfortable conversations on any topic? ✅do we share our truth instead of holding back? ✅do we create new experiences together? ✅do we create agreements instead of having expectations? ✅do forgive and apologise quickly and easily? ----- "Quit wanting them to be the way you want them to be. Just love them." (Kamal Ravikant) How do you determine the quality of your relationships?

LINKEDIN IS NOT A DATING APP! Seriously, folks (with other than professional intents) hook this phrase in your minds once for all. Talking personal sounds truly pathetic on a professional site like LinkedIn. Would like to call out LinkedIn as well to help out here however possible. Thanks a ton, Eya Youssfi for sharing such eye-opening stories and spreading awareness against such frustrating incidents. Otherwise, who would have even assume about these kind of cases on LinkedIn? #linkedinnot4dating #linkedinhelp #linkedinconnections #beprofessional
