Beyond A Million 141: Remembering John Ruhlin: Giftology – The Secret to Building Business Relationships
Giftology isn’t just about giving gifts. It’s about understanding that at the heart of every great business relationship lies the human connection, which is nurtured by acts of radical generosity.
John Ruhlin, the visionary behind Giftology and founder of Giftology Group, was a leading authority on the power of using gifts as a business tool. His vision transformed the way companies think about and approach strategic gifting.
Through his work, John helped countless businesses, from small startups to large corporations, use gifting to deepen connections with clients, employees, and partners, driving loyalty and business growth.
Tragically, John passed away 3 weeks ago. We share this episode, which was recorded 3 years ago but never released until now, to honor his legacy and the profound impact he had on so many lives and the industry as a whole.
In this interview, Brad and John discuss why strategic gifting is of utmost importance and share game-changing gifting strategies that will transform any business.
Rest in peace, homie. Your generosity will never be forgotten.
P.S. Before John died, he created a program called Referrals Without Asking, which is the foundation of everything he’s always done. A handful of friends and I are now giving out the program for free to keep his legacy alive 👉 http://www.beyondamillion.com/rwa
