Weekend Power Deposit: Build Your Relationship Tracker

This weekend, create a simple relationship tracker.

Not a CRM monster.

A simple list.

Use this structure:

Relationship Tracker

Name / Business:
Category:
Contact Info:
Why They Matter:
Their Audience:
How I Can Help Them:
How They Might Help My Customers:
Intro Sent: Yes / No
Follow-Up Date:
Notes:
Status: New / Contacted / Connected / Follow-Up / Not a Fit

This tracker keeps useful relationships from disappearing.

It also helps you avoid being selfish.

Add a column for:

How I Can Help Them

That is important.

Maybe you can refer people to them.
Maybe you can share their service.
Maybe you can introduce them to someone.
Maybe you can provide a resource.
Maybe you can keep them in mind when a customer needs their kind of help.

Good relationship building is not one-way.

One-way networking feels gross because it is gross.

Be useful.

Be clear.

Be consistent.

That is the system.

This weekend, add five people or businesses to your tracker.

Send one introduction message if appropriate.

One.

That is enough.
