Who Is  Your Banker & Accountant using Today? Are They Recommending You?

Here's a question to ask yourself -- When was the  last time
your bank manager, your accountant, your lawyer, or even your suppliers used your services ? Is it possible that you've never seen them? Here are my thoughts on the importance of reciprocation in business. 
 
Business is not a one way street , there is such a thing as Reciprocation , if this is happening to you why not drop them a note saying that you've been douing business with them over the years and you never got a chance to show off your skills by refreshing their home with your service.....I guarantee you'll be getting a call soon after.
So many people are ready to take your money and afraid to give some back, if this is the case with your associates.........THEN DROP THEM.....Use another bank, accountant, lawyer , supplier and let them know why you've changed .
 
If they are not supporting you.....why support them..........have they ever passed on clients to you, suggested your services to neighbours and friends, if the answer is NO.....then you know what to do, and let them know why of your decission.
 
I am very up front with everybody, I don't like something.....they know about it real fast.

I agree with the overall point that business relationships should go both ways. Real partnerships are built on trust, support, and some level of reciprocation over time.

That said, I also think it is worth having an honest conversation before cutting ties. Sometimes people may value your work, speak highly of you, and still not have had the right opportunity to refer you yet. Not every good business relationship shows up in the same way.

For me, the bigger question is whether the relationship feels genuine. Are they supportive? Do they look for ways to help? Do they respect your business and the value you bring? If the answer is consistently no, then it may be time to reevaluate who you do business with.

Reciprocation matters, but so does communication.

Depends what you mean by “banker’s carpet.”

If we’re talking high-end commercial or clients that actually care about appearance and longevity, they’re not shopping price - they’re shopping reliability and results. Those jobs usually go to whoever shows up consistent, communicates well, and doesn’t cut corners.

A lot of guys chase cheap work thinking it leads somewhere bigger, but those clients rarely turn into better clients. You just end up stuck maintaining low expectations.

The better accounts come from positioning yourself properly from the start. Charge accordingly, do the job right, and the right clients tend to find you over time.

Not everyone wants to clean a banker’s carpet - but everyone wants the invoice after.
