Carrying a portfolio of
business cards with you everywhere you go should be a habit. Having a variety
of service providers to help out your circle of influence goes a long way. If
you have the cards with you, it makes it easier to be the ‘go to’ person when
someone needs help. I have also taken the time to add each service provider into
my phone, emails included, this way, when someone needs the information, if I
have used the cards I have, I still have their contact info at my disposal.
Another way to promote other businesses is to engage with
social media. Have you found and liked everyone’s Facebook page? Have you friended
them? Do you follow them on Twitter? Have you written a recommendation for them
on Facebook or LinkedIn? When was the last time you repinned something from their Pinterest account? These are all very good ways to shine light on the businesses
that you do business with. Making these practices a part of your everyday
routine will give you kudos with your clients for be a resource to them and
other businesses for promoting them. Not to mention, it gives you something
else to post out there so your audience sees you doing more than selling
yourself. It really shows a lot of character when you put others before
yourself, but don’t get me wrong, there are many personal benefits as well.
