How To Choosing a Partner for Your New Business.

Establishing trust, building relationships and hence increasing your bottom line is the key to professional growth. Running a business can be overwhelming, and you’re probably not going to be able to do it all on your own. That’s where third-party vendors come in. Companies in every industry exist to partner with you and help you run your business better.

Here are a few ways to build lasting business relationships in today’s professional world.

You

• A good businessman grows his business through interpersonal skills.
• A small business owner must invest some time in personal engagement with prospective clients, partners, or customers, in order to form a lasting and beneficial business relationship.
• Engagement, selectivity and consistency are essential in finding great people and growing relationships with them.

• The more you know someone on a deeper level, the greater influence you will have on them.
• I am not saying that other factors are not important; I am just trying to bring the attention to those days when businesses used to be based on value addition and value delivery!
• The number of friends on social media doesn’t decide fulfilment in life.
• You can have tons of friends on social media but may still feel disconnected because there is less of emotional bonding.
• Knowing someone at a personal level opens doors to collaboration and opportunity.

Your Partner

When you’re searching for B2B partners, you’ll have to choose very carefully. Use the following to choose better:

• Know that your business partner, be it an individual or a company, will have access to vital and potentially sensitive business data, so it’s critical to find someone you can trust.
• Ask potential vendors about their track record with existing clients, their experience in your industry, and what kind of growth they’ve helped other clients achieve.
• Ask them to go for coffee so that you can talk more personally, one on one.

• Be willing to share experiences, ideas, points of view and simply learn more about each other’s story, family and professional history.
• The brutal truth is that nobody will invest in you until they know you. I’m not saying a dinner date with your client is a must, but you do have to allow them to enter your world.
• Humans are quick to judge someone based on their outer demeanour and are poor critics of someone’s true personality; get over it and look deeper.

Your Team

• Entrepreneurs need to give the “people” element of their businesses the same attention they give their products. Unless you’re planning to be your only employee, you’re going to need to hire a great team to get your company off the ground.
• Determine exactly what kind of help you need.
• Make sure you are aware of compliance under state and federal law such as the Fair Labor Standards Act.
• Identifying your founding team, understanding what gaps exist, and determining how and when you will address them should be top priority.
• A person who reaches out to you through your website, looking for a job, is most likely to be someone who has already gone through the job description, the remuneration and profile of the company and is still interested in applying for the profile.

• This makes your job of shortlisting candidates much easier.
• Defining roles and responsibility, how to give feedback, division of labor, or how to work together when not everyone is in the same room will save you a lot of headaches down the line.
• Your product is built by people. Figuring out how the team will work together is important.
• Employers who used social media to hire found a 49% improvement in candidate quality over candidates sourced only through traditional recruiting channels.
• 94% of recruiters use or plan to use social media for recruiting.
• 73% of millennials found their last job through social media.
