Manage episode 523668486 series 3548116
What if the most powerful growth strategy in business was not marketing, ads, or cold outreach but genuine one-to-one relationships done the right way? In this episode of Shine On Success, host Dionne Malush sits down with Phil “The Connector” Herrington, a sales veteran with over 40 years of experience who transformed traditional networking into a scalable referral engine that produced more than 600 referrals in just 18 months. From doing 500 one-to-ones in a single year to mastering the art of long-term follow-up, Phil breaks down how relationship-driven growth truly works and why most people waste the real power of networking without realizing it.
Phil also opens up about resilience, rebuilding after divorce, starting over multiple times, and how faith reshaped his purpose from salesperson to mentor and connector of people. Together, Dionne and Phil explore mindset, consistency, referrals versus introductions, and why staying connected matters more than ever in business today. This episode is a masterclass in turning conversations into collaborations and relationships into sustainable success.
