<p><b>Increased Interaction Brings Increased Cooperation</b></p>
<p>How true it is when it comes to building solid relationships with others. Take a moment and think about rolling a pair of dice. If we asked you to roll one of the dice it would be called a die.</p>
<p>As you know, most die are numbered from 1 to 6 right? OK, now here’s the question.</p>
<p>If you roll the die 20 times in a row, and the die lands on the number 3, what are the odds that the next time you roll the die it will land on the number 3? Now don’t rush into it. Think for a moment.</p>
<p>Now most people that I mention this to say one of two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>The odds are not very likely</li>
</ul>
<p>OR</p>
<ul>
<li>The odds are very likely</li>
</ul>
<p>The reality is that in both cases the odds are the same. They are one in six.</p>
<p>With that said, what’s most interesting about this formula, is the magic number of 6.</p>
<p>Now, let us contrast rolling dice to increasing interaction. Increasing interaction brings increased cooperation with others.</p>
<p>From my own observations, and from self research, my theory is that if you can interact with someone at least six times, then you’ll end up having a 50/50 chance of either building an incredible relationship or not having a relationship at all.</p>
<p>While I’m open to having a relationship with others, it’s only through mutual consideration that a relationship is possible. If you consider that the interaction you had could lead into an incredible relationship with someone then it is so. It’s that simple.</p>
<p>So what is it I’m saying you ask? I’m saying that if you are interested in pursuing a relationship with another, make the attempt to interact at least six times from the time you first meet them.</p>
<p>By doing this, you’re in a position to continue to the lay the foundation toward building a wonderful relationship with another.</p>
<p><b>When all is said and done, just being there is never enough. Follow-up, increased interaction, and a sincere approach to the relationship is a winning combination.</b></p>
<p>Stay with the thought that it’s important to interact with people a minimum of 6 times. The premise is that if you can get up to 6 interactions with anyone, it’s likely that you’ll have a relationship in place that will never end.</p>
<p>Below is a simple formula to help you get to the magic of 6.</p>
<p><b>How to Interact Six Times</b></p>
<p>Here’s a simple method to the madness in building six interactions into your relationships.</p>
<ol>
<li>You meet someone for the first time.<br />
</li>
<li>You send an e-mail stating that you enjoyed the interaction and look forward to seeing them again in the future. (Do this within 24 hours) The faster the better<br />
</li>
<li>If you have something in common, and you think that a project can be initiated or a partnership can be put in place, suggest that you call them within 72 hours. (The faster the better)<br />
</li>
<li>After the call, and if it makes sense, attempt to get together with 7 days. (The faster the better)<br />
</li>
<li>After you’ve been together, thank them for taking the time to meet with you. (Do this within 24 hours)<br />
</li>
<li>Stay in touch.</li>
</ol>
<p>Remember, everyone wants want they want , and they want it NOW!</p>

<p>Just being at a conference is never enough. I promise that if you follow the simple premise of increasing your interaction with others, the opportunity of building strong relationships are almost guaranteed. Let's go after the relationship together.</p>
