And, please, when I say simple, I do not mean this in any derogatory way. It's the foundation of networking, asking for your next referral. And so many people forget so often to do it. When you don't get what you want, get the next best thing. As my friends in Sales say, "No" is the second best answer. At least you know where you stand and that your best move is to chart a new course. Asking for that referral is the first step toward finding that next hire. Thanks, Ron David,
