McKinsey & Co. has studied consumer behavior since 1926 and found word-of-mouth to be the most powerful form of marketing. When someone feels special in a trusted relationship good things follow.
Most companies understand that key relationships are among their most valuable assets. Yet many are simply “too busy” or unsure how to connect with people in memorable ways.

"Thanks to Randy's strategies, I've been able to connect with people on a deeper level."
- Leo Herrera III, The Connected Golfer
"I use Randy's advice on a daily basis. It's how I relate to people."
- Todd Dratch, ARD Property Management

My client wanted to thank Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield for inspiring the name behind his growing business. A heartfelt handwritten note around Thanksgiving led to an invitation to Evander’s home on New Year’s Day.
We didn’t arrive empty-handed. We brought a baby peach tree—a symbol of solidarity and faith—and planted it together at his home in Georgia. A simple, thoughtful gesture turned a first meeting into an experience none of us will ever forget.

The phone rang. “Is this Randall Ostrow? I’m holding your wooden puzzle-piece business card and would like to interview you for The Wall Street Journal.” I thought it was a prank. It wasn’t.

I wanted to surprise our family with a special guest at a big celebration. A lion cub. The hotel’s response was immediate: “Absolutely not. We do not allow lions at the resort.”
So, I met with hotel management, listened to their concerns and found a solution. On the day of the celebration, Nala was a huge hit, even with the hotel staff who had originally said no. Sometimes an open mind, a little persistence and a willingness to listen can turn “absolutely not” into an unforgettable experience.
