Relation marketing does require work and having conversations with other business people in order to grow the relationship. This week I would like you to consider the "The types of conversations you have". I offer that there is only 3 types of conversation people have, they are
1. Conversations that draw attention to themselves. This is where one person is informing (telling) the other person how smart they are.
2. Conversations where one person is right and the other person is wrong
3. Lastly there is the conversations where we generally don't know about something but have a willingness to learn about the topic being discussed.
If you want your networking to be effective then consider the types of conversations your having with people and whether or not they are improving the relation.
