Question: If I know an influential business executive, is it a viable approach to develop a personal relationship with him to gain business opportunities?
Answer: It is feasible to obtain business opportunities by establishing personal relationships with influential corporate executives, but there are also many complex factors. It is not easy to simply determine whether it is completely feasible: ### Feasible 1. **Information advantage** - Executives are often at the forefront of the industry and have access to a large amount of first-hand and undisclosed industry dynamics, market trends, potential project information, etc. After establishing relationships with them, you may learn valuable business information earlier than your competitors, such as new market gaps, the development direction of emerging business areas, etc., so as to make early arrangements and seize business opportunities. - For example, a corporate executive in the technology industry may know that a certain type of emerging technology will cause industry changes in the next few years. If he shares this information with you, you can develop related products or adjust your business strategy in advance based on this, and gain an advantage in market competition. 2. **Network expansion** - Influential corporate executives usually have a wide network of personal connections inside and outside the industry. By establishing relationships with him, you may be able to get to know more potential partners, investors, customers, etc. through his personal connections. - For example, this executive can introduce you to the decision-makers of other large companies, creating conditions for you to open up new business cooperation channels. Or when you are seeking investment, he may use his influence to recommend you to investment institutions, increasing your chances of obtaining investment. 3. **Cooperation opportunities** - The company where the executive works or the business segment he is involved in may have cooperation space that is complementary or synergistic with your business. The establishment of a personal relationship may prompt him to consider cooperating with you on a project to achieve resource sharing, complementary advantages, and jointly create business value. - For example, if you are a company with advanced technology research and development capabilities, and the company where the executive works is strong in market channels and brand promotion, the two parties may reach a cooperation agreement based on personal relationships, jointly launch products or services, and expand market share. 4. **Reputation endorsement** - Establishing a good personal relationship with executives of well-known companies can bring credibility endorsement to you and your company to a certain extent. When you contact new business partners, mentioning your relationship with this executive may increase the other party's trust in you, thereby conducting business cooperation more smoothly. - For example, when participating in the bidding of some important projects, potential customers may think that you have strong strength and resource integration capabilities when they learn that you have a close relationship with influential executives in the industry, and are more inclined to choose you. ### Existing problems 1. **Ethical and compliance risks** - If you rely too much on such personal relationships to obtain business opportunities, you may be involved in unfair competition. For example, obtaining internal undisclosed bidding information through relationships and using its advantages to win the bid may violate relevant laws and regulations on bidding. - At the same time, if such a relationship is established based on unethical means, such as bribery, interest transfer, etc., once discovered, it will not only damage the reputation of individuals and companies, but also face serious legal consequences. 2. **Relationship maintenance costs** - It takes a lot of energy and cost to establish and maintain good personal relationships with corporate executives. This includes time costs, frequent communication with the other party, participation in activities organized or attended by them, etc.; it may also involve certain economic costs, such as giving appropriate gifts, participating in some social entertainment, etc. - Moreover, relationship maintenance is not achieved overnight and requires continuous investment. Once it is not properly maintained, the relationship may break down, the previous efforts will be wasted, and business opportunities will be lost. 3. **Uncertainty of the other party's decision** - Even if you have established a personal relationship with the executive, the other party may not necessarily give you business opportunities based entirely on personal relationships when making business decisions. Corporate decisions usually take into account many factors, such as corporate strategic planning, business needs priorities, and risk assessment. - For example, the company where the executive works may already have an established cooperation plan or strategic layout. Even if he has a good relationship with you personally, it is difficult for him to provide you with special treatment and tilt business opportunities to you without violating the overall interests of the company. 4. **Fragility of the relationship** - This kind of personal relationship is relatively fragile. It may be affected by many factors such as the executive's job change, internal political struggles in the company, and changes in personal life. - For example, if the executive suddenly leaves or loses power in the company, the relationship between you may cool down quickly, and the business opportunities that were originally expected to be obtained based on this relationship will become slim. In summary, it is possible to obtain business opportunities by establishing personal relationships with influential corporate executives, but you must act prudently within the ethical and legal framework, fully consider various potential problems, and focus on improving your own core competitiveness. You cannot simply rely on such relationships to develop your business.
