Everyday we do something useful for a least one of our contacts. This exercise is called "Pass it Forward" or P.i.F for short.
Building and sustaining your business relationships is the key to achieving high performance which ultimately leads to your career success. There is no point having a great database if your contacts don't want to talk to you. So what if you are junior, you can still impress senior executives with useful stuff. These free links are our way of doing lots of P.i.Fs a day to help you in your careers and so you can add value to your contacts. A great way to improve your business networking skills.
We love being P.i.F'd as well, so if you have a useful link, article, clip, download, report etc send it over and if possible we will post it on our web site with your details against it.
