Here is my little story or maybe a small rant at the end. Well I really do not enjoy all the rants, well I do enjoy them especially because of the comments. Of course we love the people who agree with us and not so much with others :)
Here is a scenario. You meet a professional and he invites you for a coffee and you think that you are meeting someone who knows what reciprocity means. At the coffee place the story comes to the point where you get 10+ business cards and few phone calls after that.
This professional DUDE or a nice professional lady; not even close to acquaintance was looking for referrals. Well great. I have my business cards ready, too.
Let's say you like that person and you send some business their way. Now you ask them to reciprocate. Their answer goes like this. I am so sorry Real Estate is tough now. Nobody is really buying.
