Not all networking relationships work out. If you are in one of these situations where you seem to be taking the connection more seriously than the other person, it may be time to jump ship. Greg and Debby discuss how and why you might dial back professional relationships from brief acquaintance to formal referral partnership. Thank you to David Bodner for the question that sparked the conversation this week!
