The revenue is in your relationships. The key is to serve not sell, but the secret is… strategically serving or strategically
1- Know Your ABC’s – You may be thinking, Always Be Closing, but in reality it’s Always Be Connecting. Be a resource to other people. Connect them to people and content, either your own or others’ content.

3 – Provide Relevant Content & Value Consistently – It isn’t just getting prospects on your list, it’s about how you can get them to stay.
4 – Collaboration VS. Competition – If you come up with an idea, make sure someone else doesn’t get it to the marketplace first. Get it out there. It takes a tribe
5 – Create Social Offers – Competitions, contests, freebies, etc. These are appealing to your audience.
