Being A Magnet:

These quotes remind us that relationship marketing is about being a magnet, not a bullhorn. It’s about attracting the right people to you, with clear and consistent messaging that tells your story and your WHY. 

It’s not about WHAT you do, but HOW you do it. Your HOW is going to be the driver of that repeat and referral business. 

Relationship marketing is a mindset shift away from immediacy and sales, towards longevity and genuine connections. It’s all about caring for your customers; putting yourself in their shoes and delivering for them time and time again.
