I am absolutely thrilled to have launched The Listening Co. with Alex Thompson. Clarity of direction, mutual understanding and agreed shared goals have always been tough to achieve within companies and between service providers and their clients.  Never more so than today, when remote working and fewer face to face meetings have made establishing, growing, nurturing, and safeguarding long term business relationships challenging.  There have never been so many ways to communicate, yet every one of them is designed so we do not have to be together.  More talking is delivering less understanding, and a situation that Alex and I believe needs TLC. We have built a toolkit which we deploy to access facts and the truth of the status within service providers, their partners, and clients so enabling a guide to how business relationships can flourish.  If this chimes with you or we could help you or a company like yours then click on our website, have a read, get in touch directly, like this post, share it and comment. We want to hear from you because although it’s good to talk, it’s even better to listen.

Building trust in business relationships takes time, and one of the most effective ways to do this is through regular 1-to-1 catch-ups. It’s often said that it takes 7-10 meaningful interactions to establish a basic level of trust with someone. These catch-ups go beyond surface-level chat— they’re about understanding each other’s businesses, values, and clients. With every interaction, the relationship grows stronger, paving the way for more reliable referrals and partnerships. Commit to consistent 1-to-1s—it’s the foundation of trust and long-term success in business. How many 1-to-1s have you done this week? #Networking #TrustBuilding #BusinessRelationships #Success
