?? Today, we, Thinking People Consulting, LLC, signed a master service agreement with a new client after six months of meaningful discussions. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to building strong, sustainable partnerships. When I mention that it takes us 4-7 months to close a deal, people are often surprised. Here's why it takes time: * Collaborative Partnerships: We aim for more than just "one-off" workshops. Our goal is to create lasting, impactful relationships. * Effective Engagements: We want to ensure what we bid makes sense for the company's goals, whether that be workshops, coaching, or training programs. * Commitment and Budget: We want to ensure our clients are ready to invest both time and money for a successful collaboration. * Mutual Understanding: It's essential for all key stakeholders to understand each other, fostering a mutually beneficial partnership before committing long-term. * Thorough Legal Review: Legal reviews on both sides take time, but they're crucial for ensuring everything is in order. Huge shoutout to the legal team for their meticulous work! Building these partnerships takes time, but the results are worth it. Here's to many more successful collaborations! ??
