I joined a Facebook group recently and an agency owner asked how to get his freelance graphic designer and freelance developer working together better.

5 people replied with "PM me."

I wrote a 12 bullet point reply with my learnings and tips.

I didn't ask him to PM me, I didn't even consider it. I was "post and done".

He friended me, then PM'd me, and we're in email conversation now and who knows where it may lead.

Business is all about building relationships.

Just start by listening to people, helping them, and adding value if you can. Good things start to happen...





EDIT: (I mention this later in the thread...)

You want to know what really went though my mind?

"Ooo! Ooo! I know this! I know this! (Starts writing a short note, ends up writing an essay.)"
