We love hearing about the power of relationship capital in driving business success! 🎉 Relationships truly are the cornerstone of any successful business, especially in the professional services sector. As the latest episode of Deal Talk with Dr. Ryan O'Sullivan highlights, the ability to leverage existing connections, establish credibility, and transition from a supplier to a trusted partner can significantly impact business growth and client loyalty. One key takeaway is the long-term success achieved by prioritizing credibility and trust over aggressively seeking more work at the end of short-term engagements. For professional services firms, this underscores a vital strategy: cultivating and nurturing relationships is not just beneficial—it's essential. In an industry where trust and expertise are paramount, building strong, long-term partnerships can differentiate your firm in a competitive market. #relationshipcapital #b2brelationships #leadership
It was a pleasure to hear how existing relationships helped Adnan Kitabi to successfully launch his new business. He turned an initial ‘small’ project into his largest and most profitable client. Listen in for three key insights on his journey: 1- He got this new client by way of an introduction from a former colleague 2- He built credibility with the key executive early on by challenging their technology strategy and in the end reduced the cost of a certain software by 90% 3- He shifted the relationship from ‘just another supplier’ to being a bonafide ‘trusted partner’ by not being pushy and trying to drag out the project - instead he was honorable and decent - this built trust and in turn led to many more projects and a wholly successful relationship #relationshipcapital #b2brelationships
