The most successful founders know that sustainable revenue comes from relationship rhythm, not just service excellence. The space between opportunities is where trust compounds and creates momentum.
Here’s what I do, consistently, to keep key relationships strong and revenue predictable:
1) Know the person, not just the account
I keep living notes on the humans I serve and interact with: what they care about, kids’ names, big milestones, birthdays, celebrations.
Not to be cute. To be present.
A 20-second voice note on the right day beats a 20-page proposal on the wrong one.
2) Signal values in how you say “thanks”
How we express gratitude says something about who we are. These small choices in our key relationships become part of how we build trust and connection.
Most of my community cares about local, ethical, and doing business the right way. Me too.
If we haven’t met: I’m a coffee fanatic. I co-founded a specialty coffee company, Epoch Chemistry.
Family-run, ethically sourced coffee makes a great KR gift.
We're gifting bags of our in-house roasted whole beans to our KR list this year. If you want to do the same, I know a guy 😉.
You can use this code SymplicityXepoch to get 20% off the whole order when you purchase 5+ bags for your team or clients.
And to say thank you for being part of our list, you can use this code SymplicityGift to get a free 75g bag of coffee with any sized purchase. We just want you to try it.
3) Give in their name—quietly
When it fits, I donate to a cause they talk about, in their name. No fanfare. One line note: “We contributed to X because you care about Y.”
Small dollars. Big signal.

Why now: Even though we’re entering slow-down time, this is the best window to re-engineer your sales revenue rhythm.
Sales is reciprocal.
We serve when we sell.
The rhythm—personal touches, values-aligned gifting, and cause-based generosity—turns “happy friends” into referral engines.
That’s why we’re running our first Revenue Rhythm Program (RRP) this November.
It's a 4 week (2 hour sessions weekly) sprint to integrate AI into your sales process to entrench next year's revenue NOW.
If you want predictable revenue without becoming transactional, join us.
