We live and work in the electronic age. More and more, personal and professional communication occurs via text messages, e-mails, social media, etc. We simply don’t have as many face-to-face communications as we once did. While all this technology can be great — enhancing efficiency, accessibility and accountability — we sometimes sacrifice quality of communication for quantity.
In this information age, real relationships are more important than ever. Don’t lose sight of the power they hold, especially when nurturing referral relationships.
Reach out. Reconnect. Pick up the phone. Set a coffee, lunch or dinner date. Then share with each other some or all of your challenges, your successes, your patient services, your missions and visions. Talk about what you are doing and how it is making a difference. I guarantee it will be time well spent.
