Laurie Jimenez is a project manager for a professional services firm.  Alyssa Fitz is an HVAC systems designer.  They both use relationship marketing to build rapport with their co-workers.  We recently attended the Master Relationship Marketing Seminar in Houston, Texas and each walked away with tons of actionable ideas to take our careers to the next level.

“Kandas I have attended some marketing conferences within last year and they were too “salesy” for me. I liked the “soft sale” spirit behind this one because that’s the kind I need for my business. Its about developing relationship and trust with people before they buy anything from you.” – Renu Agrawal, Holistic Health Coach

Oh eh, here is the the promo video from the Houston seminar and look who’s talking at :40 and 1:28.

“I found this seminar to be genuinely moving on a very human and emotional level. The speakers were truly top shelf and authentic. You cannot mimic that kind of thing. I can honestly say that the time spent here was worth exponentially MORE than I paid, and the time lost at work and home. I am sold on this system and look forward to sharing it with others!!! If you are a business owner, minister, coach author speaker or just a friend, wife, sister,husband or even manager team leader, this is for you!!!! Kandas thank you so much for urging me to go!!!! Also, it delivered more value than I have experienced in a long time. That is important to me.” – Kelly Taylor, Aromatherapist

The next Master Relationship Marketing Seminar is in Jacksonville, Florida May 29 – 30, 2015.  Contact me if you’d like ticket information.

Kody Bateman’s tips for mastering relationships in business:

* Make a list of everyone you know and put them in a contact manager.

* Categorize your list into 3 categories: 1) contacts 2) prospects 3) customers

* Always add people to your list and move them through the 3 categories.

* Take detailed notes on all of your contacts.

* Reach out in the spirit of RELATIONSHIP 80% of the time and in the spirit of MARKETING 20% of the time.

* Build your personal brand with friendship, celebration and service.

* Use the 4 methods of communication to reach out regularly to your lists.

The 4 methods are TEXT, CALL, GREETING CARDS, and ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION.

* Always be in the spirit of service. GIVE for the sake of GIVING and you will attract what you GIVE.

* Listen more than you speak and always make it about them and how you can help them.

Action Steps for Following Up with Leads

Action Step 1: Every time you connect with someone, write down in your calendar, or your contact manager the date you are going to make your next connection and HOW – text, phone, email, greeting card, in person.

Action Step 2: Right now, think of 2 or 3 people who you can reach out in kindness towards today, and do it. Send them a referral, or a gift, or just a quick text message asking how they are doing and that you are thinking of them. Don’t try to sell them anything, make it all about them.

Action Step 3:  Join me for the Master Relationship Marketing Seminar in Houston, April 17-18, 2015.
