Return on Relationship is a spin off from return on investment or ROI.  When I heard this term being used this morning it just made sense.  How many relationships are you nurturing today to help your business tomorrow?  Some people are watching the sky falling (with this small economic glitch going on) while others are looking for opportunities.  This is not the time to sit back and watch business pass you by, its time to work with your closest relationships and make things happen.  Its time to join groups like http://pickylist.com/ or http://twitter.com and develop relationships that everyone can benefit from.  A couple others that have worked for me recently are BNI and Rainmakers, http://www.bni-indiana.com/ and http://www.gorainmakers.com/rainmakers/ respectively. So its time to network like its going out of syle, grab the bull by its horns, and stop making excuses that the economy is failing us.  I know groups that network together as we speak and have over $1.2 million in referral sales from January till now, amongst 30 people! 

That my friend is not economy driven, it is relationship driven.
