The other day I was standing in line at the store. It just happened to be during one of those rush hour times where all the lanes were full and every shopper seemed to have more than 30 items. The lady infront of me looked at me and my armful of 5 items. Her coment was "Oh, please go ahead of me. Your time is as valuable as mine". How does this relate to referrals?
It got me thinking about time. Time is valuable. We all know it and realize it. When we choose to spend it with someone, that is a compliment. Maybe one of the highest compliments that we can give. So the next time you drag your feet to make the call to a past client or do a pop-by because you don't want to be a bother, just remember that you are giving the gift of your time. That is invaluable not to mention, very thoughtful.
