There's a famous quote by Lee Iococca that says, "Business, after all, is nothing more than a bunch of human relationships." The fact of the matter is, if you don't have good business relationships, then you don't have a business.

With that in mind, it would make sense to nourish these relationships on an ongoing and continuous basis.
