You see an opportunity where you may be able to expand your business. There’a key stakeholder in a company you want to partner with at a conference and you make it a point to say hello. You learn a little about them and find that they’re from Dallas- BIG Cowboys fan.
Fast forward a few days later and you are wondering how best to make your next contact with them to get the ball rolling on this business idea you have. What if you sent them a football signed by Roger Staubach? That’s some way to make an impression, right?
Yes, it certainly is. And when I first started Steiner Sports (and even now to this day), that’s exactly how I’ve gotten ahead in building new relationships to help grow my business.
This didn’t have to have anything to do with memorabilia, by the way. The whole concept centers around sending someone an unsolicited gift and using that as a platform to start a relationship.
I talk about this concept a lot. If you have been reading this blog for a while you have seen it here. You would also have read it in my book, or heard it in one of my speeches. Yet, people always come up to me and say, “Brandon, that’s brilliant! Sending someone something to get a new relationship!”
No. No and no. Let’s not get confused here. Sending a thoughtful gift doesn’t make a relationship…but it does start one.
What does this require? Getting to know someone; finding out something about them; having an understanding of what’s important to them.
Here’a memorable experience I went through with Yankees GM Brian Cashman:
My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Odunga helped me in getting back my EX-boyfriend who broke up with me 4 months ago. I tried all I could to make him see reasons with me so that we can continue our relationship but he denied me. Thank God for giving me the thought of going into the internet for help, I searched properly and I saw different reviews of Doctor Odunga and I insisted on giving it a try by contacting him via what’s app on (+2348167159012). He gave me reason to live again and he prepared a spell and told me that my Ex-boyfriend will come back to me within 28 hours. Can you believe it, my EX-boyfriend came back to me and our wedding will be held Soon. Contact him now!!! if you need any help. Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and he does a lot of spells. Once again i want to say am very grateful for your help
