Introducing people is a good use of your time

Do you EVER watch television? When was the last time you got up from watching TV and said, "Boy, I am so refreshed!" It's probably a good guess to say that watching television may have put you to sleep, but rarely, if ever, has it renewed your energy. Can we at least agree that much of the time we're not really accomplishing anything by watching TV? Maybe, just maybe, television is not usually a good use of our time. I'm sure we can all think of several things besides TV that aren't a good use of our time.

I just got off the phone and that definitely WAS a good use of my time. I introduced two people I know who are both connected to me on LinkedIn. They probably wouldn't have met if they didn't know me. One person would like to look at land in New Zealand when they visit this summer [which is winter there]. The other is from New Zealand and is successful in real estate in Carlsbad, California. Sue Landis is a magnificent real estate agent who used to be in Toastmasters with me over a year ago. The other person met me through Soflow.com less than two months ago.

I paid enough attention to what each of them are trying to achieve and when I saw the possibility that they might like to talk, I did a three-way call to introduce them over the phone. That's the way I recommend, but you can also introduce someone through email. I do this on a regular basis and so can you. I mentioned before that you can put agreements in place if you want to make money or you can do it for free. Of course, you need to obey any laws that govern a particular industry. For those of you that are skeptical about the making money part, you can still benefit because someone to whom you have referred qualified people is very likely to refer qualified people your way in the future.

LinkedIn and Soflow make it easier to keep track/stay connected with people. Some things you can do with just the internet, but when you are nurturing relationships, I recommend that you use the phone and face-to-face contact as well. Of course you can use VOIP, but not everyone has that. Some people reading this will wonder what that is, which proves my point. :-)

Build Relationship - Build Income. It's a good use of your time because it works.
