I have recently ended a referral partnership with someone who I have worked with for some time and have become friends with over the years. Unfortunately our partnership was turning into a one way street. I was spending my time and efforts marketing to FTHB and referring qualified, interested clients to him, but was receiving nothing in return. It took me several months to realize that I had become his own personal marketing assistant.
In my opinion, a referral partnership needs to be a two way street. In these tough times we need to work together so we can not only get by, but we can all prosper.
It was a hard lesson to learn but one that I feel we can all beneift from.
