You start 1 on 1 with people/businesses you admire. Get introductions. Go to community-based meetings. Join your local Rotary club or BNI chapter.

Dear Wboycernemtp,

You do all of the above, plus a few more. Talk to people. Join local social groups. Contact local CPAs, lawyers, service providers, entrepreneurs, and community groups.

See if there's Glazer Kennedy group in your region and join it. If not, start one. Start your own social group to help people improve their marketing.

You'll make relationships based on value and on the amount you're prepared to put in. But the investment will be worth it.

I hope this helps.

As the name says - it is all about relationships. Do what you can to meet people and form relationships. You have to get out and network and start forming those relationships.
