That's their job...networking I mean. Which is also your job as a business owner.

These are long term relationships where the value of the relationship builds over many years. By which I mean these are ordinary B2B relationships. Which means that if you know of someone else who your new contact might want to meet, introduce them because that will add value to your relationship because it helps the other party stay in business.

And the exhaust fumes of value are that you can be a person who they might want to work with. Because working with people you want to work with is how business relationships work.

Maybe something happens between now and ten years from now. Maybe it doesn't. Your only choice is to be helpful or not. Good luck.
