Doing Business with People you Like

Consider this when developing business:The research shows that you are most likely to be hired by people that like you and establishing that is as important as having the expertise to do the job. And to know us, hopefully, is to like us.

In service of learning about each other, each lunch attendee was asked: What is the best business advice you have received?

I invite you to read my LinkedIn post for some of the pearls of wisdom generated by that prompt. And, yes, I left the event getting to know and like many of the people that I met.
