8 Relationship Habits That Win More

Feel like “selling” is pushing people away?
Try this instead.
(It works, and feels better too.)

Let’s be honest:
Growing your book of business is tough.

You start second-guessing everything:

Am I being too pushy?
Not persuasive enough?
Even talking to the right people?

But the truth is:
You don’t have to “sell” to grow.

Just do what you already know how to do:

Be helpful
Ask good questions
Work together to find solutions

By shifting how you connect…
The right opportunities start to show up.

8 small relationship habits that win more work
(no pitch required):

1. Ask: “How can I be helpful right now?”
➝ Flip the focus from 𝘺𝘰𝘶 to 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. Then listen.

2. Share ideas with no strings attached
➝ Block 10 mins weekly to send one insight.
No ask. Just give.

3. Follow up like a friend, not a closer
➝ Skip the script. Try a thank-you, article, or intro instead.

4. Be the one who remembers
➝ Tiny details build big trust. Log a note after every chat.

5. Lead with curiosity, not your agenda
➝ Ask: “What’s your top priority right now?”
Then follow their lead.

6. Stay in touch without a reason
➝ A “thinking of you” message goes further
than you think.

7. Connect people who should meet
➝ One thoughtful intro can double your
relationship capital.

8. Celebrate progress, not just wins
➝ Acknowledge the journey. That’s what
most people miss.

You don’t need complex tactics.

You need consistent habits that make people feel seen.

Ones that turn a conversation into years of trust.

Because when you lead with relationships,
results don’t just follow.

They last.
