Ep 133. Cultivating Relationships to Ignite Business Growth

 

It's no secret that relationships are an important part of being a business owner.

 

Because when someone uses a photographer that they love, they want to share that person with everyone that they meet.

 

But why is it that we know how important relationships are, yet we underutilize this strategy? We spend so much of our marketing efforts on social media, or in Facebook groups, just praying and spraying content and posting our link and just hoping that someone hires us.

 

Why do we not pour into these relationships?

 

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you why we don't utilize the strategy of cultivating relationships for business growth and how to overcome this. I'll also share some simple strategies and steps that you can take to make this a really natural, fun, and consistent part of your business.
