"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed." -- Napolean Hill, author
The business world can be a lonely place - after all, everyone is out to do the best for themselves, and the thought of generally helping others is not often looked at as the best way to build your business and make more money. While not generally true, I agree with the quote above - if you make helping others succeed one of your priorities, and a point of your business, people will see you as someone they should help in turn.
So give referrals freely, even if they are to your competitor. Make calls on a person's behalf, talk someone up, or take someone out to lunch just to hear how they're doing and offer any advice you can. People will respect you, and in turn, help you to succeed as well.
What do you think? Do you have experience with this? Let us know in the comments!
