You beat the same drum and eventually it wears thin. That is how I feel about this Musing. I harp on folks all the time about being a good partner and getting back to others but it's still the biggest complaint we hear. So….again I say:

Communication is the key to building and keeping strong NPAworldwide partnerships!!!!

We should not be looking for a “one-off placement”; we want to build lasting relationships with our NPAworldwide partners. Communication isn’t just important, sometimes it is everything in a deal so pick up the phone when you can, get to know your partners.

Members who are good at communication turn those introductions into partnerships, and those can turn into placements.
