This week ( Week 7) I focused on growing my contacts, and relationships with those in my life. They call this your “sphere of influence” and these are people from my life that I can reach out to and help them find a home or sell a home. These people are also great advocates for your business. Word of mouth helps people get referred to you. Not only is there a benefit to my business, but you can create a network for referrals with the people who work in other career fields. Its a system of friends helping friends and its a great experience to be apart of. By constantly growing relationships, connecting, and communicating with others, I’ve been able to improve my social life by reconnecting with others but also create a business network with those around me.
