Why visit partners and share with them?
Is it something you do frequently? In our opinion it is necessary to keep up with partners as sharing business wise can be crucial. There are of course some benefits and drawbacks but we favor the benefits as clarity and understanding may balance potential misunderstandings.
It can also bridge the gap in expertise and knowledge when necessary. Partnering with someone broadens expertise and brings in extra knowledge and experience or complementary skills to help you to grow your business.
For example, you may be great at generating new ideas but could be better at selling some concepts. You may feel comfortable with new technology, but not completely comfortable when building relationships and taking care of some actions. That’s where a good business partner with specific skills can step in and fill those gaps.
A business partner can bring cash into the business having more strategic connections than you do. And this may help your company attract potential clients and more business opportunities.
A business partnership can benefit both partners, but weighing the pros and cons before entering into one is essential. When a partnership has been consolidated in time as ours with Raytheon Anschtz GmbH, for example, it is a real blessing.
