Not because I am searching for them, but because when you are paying attention to enough businesses at once, the right connections often become clear.
Sometimes it is a referral partner who serves the same type of customer in a completely different way.
Sometimes it is two businesses that could collaborate on an event, promotion, or community project that benefits them both.
And occasionally, one introduction grows into something that meaningfully changes the direction of a business.
When I see an opportunity, I make the introduction.
No transaction. No agenda. Just connecting good local businesses that should know each other.
Local Businesses Are Better Together
Most business owners already know that some of their best opportunities did not come from advertising. They came through a conversation with someone they had not met yet.
The right introduction at the right time can change the direction of a business.
Every week, I meet with local business owners throughout San Diego. I learn about their businesses, the customers they serve, the problems they solve, their strengths, and the growth they are working toward.
Over time, I begin to see opportunities they may not be able to see from inside their own business.
