		<description>Networking works.  It is WORK, and it requires an investment of time and energy to cast that NET - but you never know who I know, and I never know who you know. The point about the caterer and the stonemason is a great one to illustrate that!</description>

		<description>Hi Mark,

Thanks for your comment. I couldn&#039;t agree with you more. You need to establish credibility with people, much like you would with a customer, before you can assume they&#039;ll simply put their reputations on the line with a referral to you. I think the literal advancement through the acronym is what need to occur for successful relationships to be cultivated. 
Also..thanks for signing up for our updates.</description>

		<description>Like Mike says, VCP is an important tool for anyone who relies on relationships to develop their clientele. I use it to evaluate my relationships with my referral partners, which helps me determine next steps in moving those relationships forward. Oh, and don&#039;t think you can go straight to Profitability without first going through Visibility and Credibility. That&#039;s just not possible.</description>
