When Networking Pays Off: Solutions Afoot's Story

At Solutions Afoot, we understand the importance of networking and building long-term relationships. We’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to work with some amazing startups and established brands in our custom software database application endeavors. But what many don’t know is that a large portion of our success stories can be attributed to referrals from other tech companies. That’s why we pay it forward and refer our network to other professional service companies as well. Recently, one such company did us the compliment of sending us a great thank you video for the efforts one of our team members made to help him land a project with a veteran-owned business. Let’s take a look at how networking paid off for both parties! 

How It Started 

The story begins with one of our team members connecting with another tech company through LinkedIn. After exchanging pleasantries and discussing their respective businesses, they discovered they could help each other. Our team member had just finished wrapping up a project with an established veteran-owned business, while the other tech company was looking for leads on possible projects in the same industry. With this mutual understanding, our team member was more than happy to pass along the referral to this person without expecting anything in return—a gesture of goodwill that would ultimately pay off in dividends later on down the road. 

A Profound Impact 

Upon receiving the lead, this person was able to successfully secure a project with this veteran-owned business! To show his appreciation for all his hard work and also express gratitude towards our team members, he sent us an amazing thank you video depicting his journey throughout this entire process and how much it meant to him personally. Needless to say, we were all blown away by his kindness and generosity—not to mention how much value he got out of this referral! It goes to show that taking time out of your day just to connect with someone can have profoundly positive effects. 

The Payoff 

It’s always exciting when two people can come together and benefit from each other's resources or knowledge base—but it’s even more rewarding when you get something tangible from it like an awesome thank you video! This experience has reminded us yet again why networking is so important for any business today; never underestimate the power of making meaningful connections that can potentially open up new opportunities for growth or success down the line.    

As industry leaders know, networking is essential for any business striving to become successful in its respective field or industry. At Solutions Afoot, we understand this concept very well; many of our success stories come from referrals from other tech companies—which is why we dedicate ourselves to referring others whenever possible as well! Our recent experience confirms that taking time out of your day just to connect with someone can have profoundly positive effects on both parties involved—and who wouldn't want that kind of payoff? So let's keep connecting; who knows what opportunities await?
