How to grow business?
A thick skin and a wide net.

Working in business development for 30 years, we weren’t surprised when Rick told us that his skin was, “about three inches thick.”

He’s always fishing for leads, business, insights and yes, even actual fish. He has hundreds of pet fish—bass, catfish, walleyes, crappies—all in a pond near his home.

Now that he’s hooked into GBQ, Rick says of his client relationships, “People really want to talk about their companies and their histories. It gives you a fantastic perspective!” Fish stories or not, you know Rick will be listening closely.
