In this episode we talk with former longtime Baltimore Business Journal Publisher John Dinkel about the power of building and maintaining relationships in business. A simple yet often overlooked tactic of business development and public relations, how has relationship building changed in the digital age? Tune in as we discuss! After 16 years at the publication, including 11 years as publisher and president, John Dinkel left the Baltimore Business Journal in early 2017 to pursue his own business development consulting firm geared toward clients in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan area. Dinkel Business Development aims to help businesses identify areas for growth with services including business development assessments, planning, networking seminars and executive on-boarding sessions.
