Episode 421: Irresistible Alliances: How to Become the Collaboration Partner Everyone Wants to Promote

Being a collaboration partner could propel your business forward exponentially - the right partners can accelerate lead generation and help you 5-10 your list-building goals. Aligned, ideal partners are in high demand though, so you’ll want to become the go-to partner that everyone wants to collaborate with. I built my business in the early 2000s with strategic partners, but I learned along the way what my “dream partners” need from my business to prioritize reciprocating visibility opportunities.
