They let me write an article in their magazine.
They also do conferences, events, workshops, a regular podcast, webinars, and stuff like that.
I plan on contributing to those too.
One of the simplest things you can do to expand key relationships is….
…say thank you.
It sounds so unbelievably simple…
…but I’ve probably referred 100’s of agency owners to different things this year alone. Software, services, resources, tools, etc.

We use a service called Handwrytten. It drops old-fashioned thank you notes in the mail.
It’s not an accident when people want to do more biz.
Even more powerful if you thank staff and team members. People who helped make it happen.

When you appreciate people for helping you out…
…good things happen.
