8 Ways to Stand Out in Your Introduction
In this solo episode, host Faithann Basore uses a morning of literal dusting as a metaphor for what often happens in our professional lives: the slow buildup of “relational dust” between us and our business contacts. Whether it’s unspoken frustrations or unexpressed appreciation, this episode encourages listeners to refresh and reconnect with those in their network.
Faithann explores:
What “relationship dust” is and how it forms
Why it’s worth saying the awkward but honest things
How appreciation, when expressed, strengthens referral relationships
The importance of reconnecting with contacts before you need something
How to revive dormant relationships with intention and integrity
Practical ways to systematically maintain your network
Whether you’ve lost touch with referral partners or just need to say, “thank you,” this episode will inspire you to dust off those connections and keep your relationships vibrant and valuable.
Key Quote:
“Let integrity and the desire to see others win be the force that guides you when you want to have weird and awkward conversations.”

Faithann’s Challenge for You:
Look back at your calendar. Who did you meet with 3–6 months ago that you haven’t talked to since? Send them a message. Make the call. Dust off the relationship—you might be surprised what doors reopen.
