4 Pillars To Build Business Networks
- Mindset: First and foremost, companies need to develop the right mindset for partnerships. The concept of a “give-first” mentality, as elaborated in my first book Give First Mindset, available on Amazon, plays a crucial role in building long-term, value-driven relationships.
- AI & Tools: Automation and AI are key enablers of partnerships in today’s business ecosystem. Tools such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Partnership Relationship Management (PRM) , Ecosystem Led Growth (ELG) and data enrichment tools can streamline processes and enhance collaboration.
- Partnership Education: Knowing how to build partnerships is as important as the partnerships themselves. Resources such as https://partnershipleaders.com/, https://www.partnerprinciples.com/, and https://www.allianceaccelerator.com/, https://www.strategic-alliances.org/, provide valuable insights and strategies for mastering partnership skills, from negotiation to conflict resolution.
- Networking & Events: Finally, finding the right partners requires intentional networking. We meet our partners at industry events, conferences, inside communities. A McKinsey report highlights the importance of this; “A recommendation from a trusted friend is up to 50 times more likely to result in a purchase than a low-impact recommendation”.
