# Thoughts on obtaining business opportunities through personal relationships Building interpersonal relationships is indeed an important part of business, but I think this issue needs to be considered from several angles.： ## Professional ethics * If you build a relationship out of sincere appreciation of each other's professional ability and charisma, this is normal socializing * If it is purely for instrumental use of the other party to obtain improper benefits, it may involve ethical issues ## Long-term feasibility * Truly lasting business relationships are usually based on mutual benefit and practical value * Opportunities that rely purely on personal relationships rather than one's own abilities are often unsustainable ## Recommended practice If you want to get opportunities through this executive, I suggest: 1. First improve one's own capabilities and value proposition 2. Establish contact in a professional manner on appropriate occasions 3. Show the actual value you can create for the other party or its business Such relationships are established more healthily and sustainably.
