Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
There are many learnings and much richness to gain- beyond money- by partnering with great people.
Strategic partnerships multiply your efforts and expand your profits & platform. Partnership done right will also increase your impact and influence. In my 20 plus years in this sector I have supported and brokered many profitable partnerships. These partnerships both corporate and private brought in millions of dollars and increased awareness for the organizations I served. Much good was done.
Partnering is one the greatest things you can do for your organization–ever.
But only if done right. I have seen partnerships go south quickly when neither partner is clear on their objectives, goals or criteria for success. I have also seen really smart partnerships increase both brand and marketshare for both parties.
What do you do when a sister organization or a corporation asks you to join them in some form of partnership – to promote a product, to team up for an event, or to create a new product together.
You want to say yes. But should you?
Here are some questions you should be asking:
- How do you set the partnership up so it’s fair?
- Are there easy legal agreements so you don’t have to hire an attorney before you can move quickly on an idea?
- What if there’s a disagreement?
- How do you enter into this–or leave it–feeling clear, clean, and safe?
So many questions and not a lot people around that have actual experience in creating sustainable succesful partnerships .
You may need a playbook to help guide you through this critical process.
