You need to be authentic when dealing with a business relationship because it is not just a one-way road. If you need any help or support from your business relationships then first focus on making your first move in helping your clients in their difficult times. You need to gain their trust first then ask for your help. Show them you are always there to support them. So, it’s important to do something for others before asking for their favors.
Ask for feedback:
