We were recently doing Relationships for Revenue Growth training for some of the sales force of a large technical company, and throughout the day, we had great discussions about the power of turning business relationships into personal relationships.
For some, making a business relationships personal seems like a daunting task. And for others, it seems like a no-brainer. One participant said:
"I've had a lot of relationships that started out as professional and transformed into personal. I have no idea how I did it. I have no idea when they changed. They just did."
I was thrilled to hear this guy was a natural, and I'm so glad he's out there making business personal day in and day out. But even if you're the type of person who has a little difficulty doing this, please don't give up. Try it. Try it again.
I've done this "networking" or "relationship" stuff forever. I don't even think about it. It just happens. What we've done with our training to basically say, You don't have to be a freak like Keith. Let us give you the methodology, some tools, and some ways in which you can think about stretching yourself a little.
That participant talked about personal relationships developing naturally in his work, but for some people I know it's a little harder. I just want everyone to push themselves a little farther each day. You can get better. And whatever progress you make, I think you'll be handsomely rewarded for it.
