The Power of Relationships & Relationship Riches

It all started with a quote from Napoleon Hill: “One of the most important principles of success is developing the habit of going the extra mile.”

In a closed group taking a “challenge” on Facebook, this quote received several responses:

Scott Lovingood responded:
‎Sherrie I honestly think the bar has been lowered in the last decade. Just going the extra few feet makes all the difference. So many people have decided to do just enough to get by. Doing above and beyond is seen as extraordinary these days.

Maruxa Murphy replied:

‎Scott Lovingood, completely agree! I was just having lunch today with a successful marketer here in Austin, and we got on the topic of creating relationships that truly make an impact. The power of relationships that go above and beyond makes all the difference in the way marketing and selling works. I absolutely believe you can create more sustained money/income by growing relationships through being a valuable and extraordinary person. Sometimes, that extra-ordinary is the small things you do to show you care, or are thinking about them. Makes all the difference to happiness, how you make that money and of course, the actual revenue generated.

Scott Lovingood replied:

‎Sherrie when I train our people every year I make sure they know this one key fact. If people like you they will forgive you making a mistake. You don’t have to be perfect you have to be liked. We are in the relationship business. we just happen to do taxes while we build them. The relationship is what separates us from our competitors and where we can make the biggest difference in people’s lives. We learn about them, feel for them and work to provide them the best value we can just like would for our friends and family. One lady refers to every new customer as her New Best Friend

Jeremy Stuzka replied:

Wow Scott, that sounds exactly how my grandfather would describe business! … the circle is closing 🙂

Ben Brooks Treat every customer as the most important person in the world.

Paulo Roldan And the rest of your business partners should be treated the same way.

Jeremy Stuzkat here was one progressive company I worked for.. they taught me partners and co-workers are really internal clients, and thus should be treated as clients that you want to work with again 🙂

I posed this question again in another group of “super friends” and here are a few replies:

Ori Bengal said “call me” and we recorded the conversation (sorry, missing)

Here at the two books Ori Bengal recommended:

David Frey‎ “Today’s real currency isn’t cash or assets, it’s relationships! The number and quality of your relationships will almost always determine your financial future.”

Scott Lovingood who’s also in this group responded to ‎David

Awesome quote. I tell my people every year during training that we are in the relationship business. We just happen to do taxes while we build those relationships. If someone likes you they will forgive a mistake and come back. If you don’t have a relationship you have to be perfect and even then they may not come back.

Mike Hill That’s brilliant too! “We are in the relationship business. We just happen to SELL WIDGETS while we build those relationships.”

Christina Vendley Business doesn’t exist without relationships. It’s the glue that keeps it all together.

Everyone knows I believe in enriching others.  My motto is:

The Real Currency is “Relationship Riches”
-Motto of Sherrie Rose

“The Real Currency Is Relationship Riches”

Since 2010, “The Real Currency Is Relationship Riches” has been the motto of author Sherrie Rose. The phrase Relationship Riches has appeared in her books, in the work of other authors, blog posts, podcasts, social media, and a wide range of sources of meaningful relationship riches”.

Relationship Riches is not to be confused with ‘rich relationships’, a phrase that plays on the original. Relationship Riches is not about making money or chasing wealth, although financial benefits may result. The deeper meaning of Relationship Riches lies in the value of human connection. Relationship Riches focuses on the real value found in meaningful human connection. It’s a reminder that happiness and health are built not on status or accumulation, but on who we share our lives with.
