Without relationships in today's market, on every level, it's harder to do business, period. Without forming strong relationships, we would not be where we are today."

"I attribute a lot of my success in this industry to the fact that I have always been a social networker. I was able to jump right out there when I first started in 1999 and talk with anyone. I didn't care if you were president of the biggest company, I was going to talk with you as if we were on an even playing field and line up some business. I enjoy the fact that I have never stepped on many toes and that people perceive me as a good person to deal with."
— Lucas "Media" Bradfield, President, Porn Kings
"Over the years, I have found industry relationships becoming more important. Business friends act as extra sets of eyes and ears and can be an extension of your own presence both virtually and in person. I find I am only able to attribute my success to these relationships as long as I am continually working to keep them alive and strong, increasing my own offerings and skills, putting out good information and being supportive."

"Having good relationships in this business is key to having success. A good way to build new relationships is by getting introduced to new people. I've met some of my most productive webmasters through introductions by good friends in the business. I also think this business is based on trust and building good relationships has always been one of my priorities since I've been in this industry."
— Joel Drapeau, Account Manager, Pornaccess
"I would have to attribute a great deal of our success to relationships in the industry. It's nice to be able to do business with people that you already trust and have a good relationship with. Being able to do that makes shows more rewarding because you get business done and you are able to spend time with good friends all at once. To me, that makes doing business more enjoyable all around."
