“The New York Yankees are known, among other things, for putting together championship teams by paying top dollar for star performers. The Tampa Bay Rays, on the other hand, routinely build contending teams by identifying and developing up-and-coming talent that can be had for bargain bin prices. Both strategies get you to the playoffs. And both can be applied to building your sales team.”

“Summer ‘weight loss’ extends beyond how good you look on the beach. Your business network can get bloated, sluggish and inefficient, too. And when it’s overloaded with ineffective contacts or becomes one bland board meeting after another, your professional health may suffer.”

“Jon Robson, a veteran of NYSE Euronext and Thomson Reuters Corp., has joined the company as CEO.

“Amid all the marketing and communications tools meant to make the lead gen faster and more efficient, your sales team might be missing one particularly tactical weapon, and with it, opportunities to drive more sales through the funnel. This weapon? Your relationship capital”.

“Introverts are as equipped as extroverts to manage their relationship capital, because aspects of their personality that would seem to be detrimental to the task can be leveraged to their advantage. You don’t have to be the one making all the commotion to make the important connection.”

“Among the many perks of being a billionaire: your choice of spots on the boards of the nation’s prominent companies and nonprofits. Which ones have the most Forbes 400 members around the table?

“The Henry Ford, a history museum and complex in Dearborn, Mich., had its eye on a company as a potential sponsor for its education program, but none of the nonprofit’s executives knew anyone there to start the conversation.” Sound familiar? Here’s how leading nonprofits use relationship mapping software to solve the problem of who knows who and how can we get there.

“Analysts across functions such as investing, banking, strategy, and sales and marketing now spend two to five hours a day pulling data from the ‘firehose’ of information, in the form of databases, newsletters, reports, emails, search queries, and social media. Fortunately, innovative companies are leveraging artificial intelligence to collect information from disparate sources, organize that information, and disseminate it to the right people.” Take a look at the companies doing it best…

The Big Data revolution is upon us. Everywhere you look or listen there are people ruminating about how the mass generation and collection of consumer information in unimaginable quantities has heralded a new dawn in marketing, sales and organizational structure. Unfortunately, many nonprofits are not in a position to pay competitive salaries to data scientists, let alone foster the kind of full-service, cooperative internal environment they crave. But all is not lost for nonprofits…

There’s a theory in matters of business networking that more is better. Fatten up the ol’ Rolodex and you’ll soon be climbing the ladder/locking down your angel round/scoring clients. It’s not true. Relationship capital—your web of contacts and their web of contacts—like a truffle or a well-appointed wardrobe, traffics in quality, not quantity. Keep your network lean. Here’s how…

Were you to make a list of innovative work environments, you’d likely include recording studios, tech startups, design labs — places where creative and inventive work gets done by teams who think outside the box. Law firms might not make it anywhere near such a list—until now with collaborative technology changing the game.

Why do organizations underachieve? The reasons are countless, but a universal cause of opportunities missed and mistakes made is the failure of organizations to exploit one crucial asset: relationship capital. How can it help your agency grow business?

In this era of big data, there are few things more valuable for fundraisers than unearthing actionable data points that can help build stronger relationships with prospects and donors. Luckily for fundraisers, there are myriad data tools out there to help with just that. Let’s take a look at one of them: RelSci.

To succeed, a startup must generate new business and attract talented employees, which requires using all of your resources smartly. Relationship capital is the connections, networks and relationships we all have that can be leveraged for business success. It must not be overlooked. Below are five useful tips for startups to leverage relationship capital to perfect the science of success.

When it comes to winning new business, time is increasingly of the essence. Agencies must act fast if they are to beat the competition in the race for new business. Luckily, a number of unexpected resources have recently emerged that, when utilized effectively, can help to identify, engage, and win new accounts. This webinar examined how companies are leveraging these tools to win new business.

Big data is changing the networking game for the better and making it easier and more efficient for individuals and businesses to see important connections and then find ways to make the most of them. It’s not what you know, but who you know.

Institutionally, law firms have a lot of connections. Each partner has their own rolodex of people they know, but for a larger law firm it’s harder for them to see that information holistically…RelSci creates a tactical roadmap for finding introductions to decisions makers, bridging the gap between CRM and social media to show partners the best avenue with which to pursue business relationships with them.

What is your organization’s fastest path to reach influential people in your community? Many fundraisers once tried to answer this question by flipping through Rolodexes to brainstorm connections. Now, more are using tools that analyze real-world social networks and identify shared connections with community leaders, like RelSci

In the latest issue of Private Wealth, RelSci founder Neal Goldman sits down with Russ Alan Prince to discuss the evolution of this growing platform in the year since its launch and how wealth managers can leverage relationship capital to build client bases and glean new business. Says Goldman, “We bring a big-data, analytical approach to helping organizations and individuals figure out the ‘who you know’—and the ‘who they know.’”

At Relationship Science, we believe that a group’s “relationship capital”–the contacts and connections that organizations can leverage in their development efforts–is the key to unlocking big data’s nonprofit potential. For nonprofits, relationship capital is what gets their foot in the doors of more potential donors and what initiates warm connections that convert leads into givers.

“Technology companies are just starting to effectively combine social sensors and big data in a package that can be sold as a valuable market research tool.

Relationship Science founder Neal Goldman has built what he likes to call “the Death Star of business development.” See how a “humble scribe” used the platform to reach new circles and bond with business execs.

If nonprofits are going to solve the world’s toughest social justice issues and create real world impact, then we need to disrupt the nonprofit sector and radically change the way it functions and is led. For the March Nonprofit blog carnival, the community shared their thoughts on how we can create more innovative and effective organizations.

Let’s face it, business development is all about relationships…Some lawyers consider developing these relationships to be an art. As its name indicates, Relationship Science aims to make it more of a science.

If you ask 20 random MBA grads to explain why they went to business school, a large majority say networking. Yet, you’d be hard-pressed to find schools that actually teach networking. Tools like RelSci prove networking skills can be taught. MBA programs just need to jump on board.

Andy Russell, the CEO of Trigger Media, says he marvels at how few businesses take advantage of their often vast networks of contacts. Says Russell: “If you’re not leveraging your relationships, you’re not even scratching the surface.”
