Yes, I totally agree! My best relationship-building resource is me - I love being with my sphere and building our relationships over time.

I stay in contact and meet with my SOI regularly, often at my home or volunteering for our favorite charities.

Life does! I use my instincts, and tailor approach to each individual. I really am divinely guided in this respect. (I think we all are if we acknowledge it.)
To be a little less airy airy-fairy, I do what I say I'm going to do when I say I'm going to do it, show up on time, communicate clearly, smile and laugh while I'm doing what needs to be done.
Some relationships require more care and feeding than others. You also have to use good common sense in choosing which ones you want to be in in the first place.

Interesting thought to ponder...

Face to face contacts are usually very effective.

1. Golden Rule
2. San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Alliance Groups: I've been a leader for 14 years of 3 successful groups including my current Veterans B.A.G.
3. Annual Gratitude Gatherings for my team, clients and vendors.

"Most enjoyable resource" and "DNA relationships"... I'm sure some would say Tinder.

My non-familial relationships are from past coworkers, past clients and those I volunteer with.

I just stay in touch with my data base throughout the year.

What Candice A. Donofrio said.  I totally agree and couldn't have said it better myself.

Annette,

High trust relationships create referral.  A

Me, connecting with people, builds relationships, builds trust, grows business. 

Contact with my sphere, and always be cheerful when meeting new people. First impressions are important especially in this business. 

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 - great topic for the blog post! Excellent thought.

Need you ask?  The golf course.

It's all about relationships. Conversation and showing genuine interest in people plus using good listening skills shows people you care.

My best relationship is with my wife, no dna relationship, but we did mix some to produce a bunch of kids.

For business relationships, it is a combination of factors with plenty of time spend developing and growing those relationships.

Absolutely!

I think Candice said it well. I stay in touch with all my clients and some have become good personal friends.

Be yourself and under promise/over deliver.

   Contagious smile.

Phone calls to my sphere and newtworking with my insurance guy.

I like DISC

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 I agree, business moving toward relationship networking.

knowledge of the product, when it came to new home building.... word of mouth traveled quickly!!!

Staying in touch ... phone calls, sending postcards in the mail, or social media ... keeps me in their TOMA!

Absolutely - no matter what, the relationship is either grease or friction on a deal.  Good ones lubricate and make for smooth sailing, bad ones can cause a deal to come to a screeching halt.  Best way to keep them good is stay in contact and provide value when you do.

SOI.

I also get lots of referalls and tips from other realtors.  

Very often, this is the case.

Me!

Trust is always important.
