TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Jordan 4.jpg
  1. You don’t need to be a professor to teach something.

  2. Dig the well before you’re thirsty. Reach out to those people and ask how they’re doing without asking for anything in return.

  3. Outreach is not a bonus to your business. It’s a foundational element.

  4. ABG. Always be giving. Always be generous.

  5. Don’t try to close business. Find people you know who are a good fit for each other and build your social capital.

  6. Lead with value.

  7. Stop thinking, “What’s in it for me.” Don’t keep score.

  8. Generosity makes you stronger. When you help other people succeed, it rubs off on you.

  9. The best thing you can do is serve the customer, even if it means referring a competitor out of good will.

  10. When you become a referral team, you can give away business and still win.
