You simply cannot have sales without the relationship aspect. And yes, I agree, not everyone can sell but if you work at becoming a master networker, then the selling will do itself. We all want to do business with those we like and chances are we met those folks at a networking event! Excellent article Tim and very to the point.

Our lives run by a system of netowrks. I work in the sales industry as a support person, developing relationships and networks...I couldn't imagine doing anything in any industry that wasn't relationship based, and if I was told it wasn't relationship based...I'd naturally find a way to make it so... Human nature? Relationships matter all the more in this economy...thank you for refreshing us with the idea... Tim: Excellent presentation of your thoughts. Our lives run by a system of netowrks.

I am almost never the low-priced provider of the services my firm offers - solid relationships plus years of solid performance are helping us to weather the economic storm. Thanks for the reminder.
