Reciprocity Rocks
When It’s Repetitive. . .
A November 27, 2023 post by Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! addressed the issue of reciprocity. It’s a topic that has a long ActiveRain history. Like many of Wanda's posts, this one stayed with me.
I have written about reciprocity. Many of you have shared your thoughts too. I know this because I have read and commented on many posts and questions over the years. Both from those I follow as well as others. Yes, it might be said, the topic rocks-and-rolls this platform.
I have traveled to a place beyond this site. To put it into real estate-related context, the subject might be addressed in the underlying documents found in a transaction. There are times when additional attention is required. It seems to me that many may miss the relationship ingredient of reciprocity. In real estate and in everyday life. It seems interconnected.
That associated aspect includes portions of exchange, trade-off and return. They can combine to make any experience better. But it's not a one and done type of approach. For me, there is much more to following members. Like client selection, it depends on many factors. Repetition of reciprocity can make the concept stronger. And more effective. I don't automatically follow those who follow me especially from someone I have had no interaction.
Reciprocal relationships are not one-sided. They are connected in some way, likely many. I believe it goes beyond simply following. As I commented on Wanda's post - each member finds the way that matches their style. On a much different thought train, here is a quote to consider:
I like to believe that love
is a reciprocal thing,
that it can't be felt, truly, by one.
Sean Penn
Those words continue to be worthy of reflection for me.
