Building Relationships Builds Business

A friend of mine is a Mary Kay consultant who shared one of her LinkedIn experiences with me.

She was on LinkedIn one day and noticed a question posted asking for recommendations for Italian restaurants in the area.  The person was new to the area and needed some ideas.  She shared she top two favorite Italian restaurants and why she liked each of them.

The person who asked the question thanked her and noticed she was a Mary Kay consultant.  Since he and his wife were new to the area, his wife had not found a new Mary Kay consultant.  And you guessed it, he now has her contact information when his wife is ready to order more products.

Yes, it is true you can build your business by building relationships with people on LinkedIn and the other social media properties.
