Don’t Burn Your Bridges!

I was the general sales manager of a large real estate company. We also had a mortgage company subsidiary managed by Vic Miller. Sometimes, we disagreed on different issues, but we always treated one another with respect. After five years, I decided to go out on my own and begin a consulting business.

I called on the president of a large bank to see if he would hire me as a sales consultant. After our initial meeting, he said he would get back with me.

A week later he called to say I was hired! He said that he checked me out with his old friend, Vic Miller. Vic’s recommendation lead to fifteen years of a lucrative relationship with that bank!

You never know who you may need to help you.

Don’t burn your bridges!

If not today, when?
