Appreciation wins over self-promotion every single time. ~Kody Bateman
The ability to make someone feel appreciated is a critical component to having a more successful personal life as well as a successful professional life.
How do you make your professional relationships feel appreciated? The same say you do in your personal relationships! It’s really not magic. One way to do this is with frequent and regular communications. This will help you stay on their radar so that when the time comes that they need a product or service, or to refer a product or service, they will think of you. Taking the time out of your busy schedule to appreciate someone and send them “from the heart” message goes way further then an email or text message.
