Your connections are a vital part of gaining referrals, building your client base, and growing your business. However, it’s important to remember that you’re not always in competition with anyone else. There are certain steps you can take to develop your network while fostering positive relationships with everyone inside and outside of your industry.

According to Brandon Leopoldus, the best way to grow your business is through honesty and trust; when you create a strong relationship with clients and those surrounding your work, you’ll be able to provide better solutions and gain more referrals. Plus, you don’t have to stay within your industry to make connections. When you network with those outside of your expertise, you can expand your referral map and supply your clients with a range of resources — a win for everyone.
