Drawing inspiration from marketer extraordinaire, Seth Godin, I examine how generosity and gratitude are at the core of relationship marketing, because it does go deeper than just connecting with someone or sending them a card. They are important catalysts for building lasting and meaningful connections – which fuel your business, help it – and YOU – grow.
