And you become a better referral giver because of the relationships you develop with other business owners. All while having fun!

Our local bi-weekly small business marketing Meetup group in Fort Worth watch gathered to talk referrals and watch this - unfortunately we had to close out after 50 min (I thought it would be an hour at most), so now I can't wait to share this link with them. From your bullet points, I'm wondering either I didn't pay good attention, or there's some GREAT stuff at the end of this call (the last 25 min). We had a lengthy discussion on (I believe) Ivan's point that we are more like FARMERS than HUNTERS...hunters go for the kill without regard for anything else except the task (getting that sale/referral), but a farmer is patient and bears great fruit. One note: A hunter usually bags ONE game; a farmer bears MUCH fruit. Patience and systematic network relationship marketing is the way to go! John,
