Does this African proverb sound familiar, “If you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far, go together?”
In the realm of business, a collaboration between entities, ideas, and resources can often lead to success quicker than one would experience on their own.
There are a variety of ways that businesses can partner together to increase impact:
-
- Referral partner (refer business to one another, often for a commission)
- Promotional partner (co-promote a product, service, or event that benefits both parties)
- J/V partner (co-create something of value)

In this interview you will learn:
-
- Create a partnership that has shared vision
- Build a partnership upon trust, respect, transparency, and familiarity
