How many people in your organization should be responsible for revenue generation? Everyone. Yes, everyone should be responsible for revenue generation, and therefore be building and leveraging relationships. Many companies assume that only people on the sales force need to network. The smart company realizes that every employee should be responsible for building and leveraging relationships. This cultural shift is the key to increasing revenue in any company, no matter the size or industry.

For most organizations, the ideas presented here represent a major transformation in organizational culture and thinking. As Wendell illustrates, teams who really want to make a difference and embrace the value and technique of networking see increased collaboration, dramatically higher revenue, and have a lot more fun along the way.
For every day that passes by, your organization is missing out on the opportunity for better collaboration, authentic relationships, and accelerated revenue.
