Each time in my career when I needed help, I asked for it. I have approached many business owners, clients as well as friends, family and yes even competitors, who may have the information that I need, saying “I was wondering if you could help me. I respect you opinion and I value your expertise. (This must be sincere). There has been very few times when I have been put off or turned down. Successful people are successful because they know that by sharing and giving, helping others grow, we receive many benefits that can not be calculated and … many referrals that can!
