Sometimes we also have to, canon ball dive, into the relationship pool to get noticed. One of my sure fire ways to get noticed and open a dialog with hard to reach people/companies is to make a plush from their logo. Yes you read it right, I cut and sew their logo into 3d form, snail mail it to them with a simple note attached and we make contact. Well usually we make contact. The gist of this is, make a huge splash by doing something tangibly awesome.

Amanda, I really appreciate your perspective on relationship building and link EARNING.

I’ve been running into a problem regarding building and maintaining relationships amongst competitive industries in which consumers make a large purchase every 5 years or so and then become uninterested in the products or brands of that market for another 5 years. Think real estate, insurance, etc. Do you have any other tips for building relationships in these types of niches?

I love the idea of “be charismatic and genuine” when sending emails but I have yet to test this.

In my normal day life talking to friends on Facebook I will be prone to use language such as “Yo dude,” “Hey man,” “sweet” and sentences such as “have you manned it yet” which basically means “have you done it yet”.

Personally, if I received an email like that I would definitely reply as to me it’s a sense of being laid back, but I feel that when talking via email people expect to be talked to in a professional way.

Thanks for sharing, Amanda. Your thoughts give more structure on how I should be reaching out and connecting to customers both potential and current. I admit that I sometimes take this for granted but I believe that being consistent with these efforts is critical. That you actually have to make time, and not just “whenever you feel like it”.

Nice, concise article. First time reader, but you got a new fan. It’s good to see a task that seems daunting broken down into an easily manageable bit of time. Favorite is the “mentions” part – and I had trouble with the G+ button too :(

In order to build great relationship, we need to know how to communicate. Dale Carnegie has a great book called “How to Win Friends and Influence People”

And, we need to give first or being generous in order to build relationship in this crowded world.

Five words can help you to build a relationship – “How can I help you?”

Not a problem, I do know how to copy and paste :-) (although am usually too lazy!)

Hi Teresha, thanks for reading the blog! Also, yep… the button is broken. We’ve been trying to fix it for the past week, not sure why it’s busted, but something with the plugin. May switch to a new solution if we can’t get this resolved soon. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Great post Amanda, nice and digestible. Was trying to G+ it but I think the G+ button is broken on this page?
