EPISODE SUMMARY

As the great Van Wilder once said, “Life is all about building relationships.”

When it comes to your business, the relationships you foster can make or break you. You often hear people say, “I’ve got a guy for that.” If this is true, it’s because that person took time to establish a strong relationship and loyalty with “the guy.” When you have a solid rapport with a vendor, contractor, supplier, salesperson, etc., you know you can depend on them to help you out whenever you need it. And vice versa.

In Episode 12 of The Business Equation Podcast, host Nick Bogacz taps into the world of building sound, quality relationships within your business – the types of relationships that can literally make or break your success. Nick shares some experiences he’s had with various people in his years of business ownership. Some didn’t work out…while others ended up being mutually beneficial relationships that Nick leverages each and every day to help his business operate smoothly.
