The world of networking, especially in Boise, is so very small. I ran into a one time high school buddy while at some networking event. We chatted it up a bit, but I didn’t think much of it. Later-on I got a referral from him for a new life and health insurance client. The referral and her husband were great; they returned phone calls, completed paperwork on time, and were very pleasant to talk to.
Then, about a year or so later, we were once again expanding and looking for new part time help. While out spreading the word Don was approached in a Rotary meeting about someone whose daughter was also looking for a job and had at one time been securities licensed. We followed the lead and who knew that it ended up back at the same girl I once met while helping her and her husband out with their insurance needs. Boise is small, but helping people and seeing circles come around is great.
