I’ve got one word for you.  Community.  You’ve heard it all before ‘many hands make light work’, ‘two heads are better than one’.  This is nothing new, in fact it’s the way our ancestors thrived.

Communities thrive.  People do better together.  Always have, always will. Partnership Marketing is really just another way of working within a community be it with one partner or many.

Solved: How to create more time, money and satisfaction in your business – instantly! from Simone Novello on Vimeo.

Somehow we evolved into a society that misconstrued the meaning of being ‘detached’ from external influences into ‘doing everything ourselves’.

Yes, you and your business for that matter, have to be ‘whole’ but you don’t have to ‘do everything yourself’ and in fact you will thrive if you don’t.  So how exactly does the concept of Community lead to more time, money and satisfaction in your business almost instantly?

1. Focus on your core competencies.  By working with a complementary business you get to focus on what you do and what you love.  This is naturally going to make you and your partner more productive and happier.
2. Hired help versus partnerships?  Relationships will always win hands down.  When you are working with someone who is as driven by the common good as you are you will naturally get better results.  Makes sense right?  If you can partner over buying a list or hiring help go for it!
3. Share resources.  When you have a well aligned, complimentary partner you are naturally going to be able to share complementary resources and this is going to result in better profit through reduced costs.
4. Be judged by the company you keep.  By carefully selecting who you align with you can leverage their brand value and you will establish instant credibility and trust with their existing customers and audience.  The reverse is true so choose wisely!
5. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  When you align with the right businesses you can create value added products and services that will have a higher perceived value to your audience.  That will lead to more sales!

Community is an attitude.  Start thinking about the value you can bring to the types of businesses your customers (and theirs) would love to see you working with and get cracking.  If you haven’t already, download your complimentary blueprint (available when you subscribe) to use as a guide, jump on the waiting list for our next Partnership Marketing Fundamentals eCourse, or contact us and find out how we can help you.
