Long before a deal is made between two parties, a relationship is established. Ask yourself if you view someone as a partner or a vendor? Are they a valued member of your community or a means to an end? If that relationship is rooted in trust, respect, and service, it will endure (as will future sales). If that relationship is treated as a mere transaction, it will never see the light of day and likely fizzle out before a sale is ever made. When you choose relationships over transactions, you're doing your part to create a kinder, more positive world where connections with others are highly valued—and always come first. In doing so, you'll not only elevate your life, but also the lives of those around you. #success #career #mindset #service #relationships #value #personaldevelopment #professionaldevelopment #trust #leadership …see more
