This is How We Do Partnerships

I love what I do and the company I do it with. I'm helping build one of the largest social good tech companies AND partnering with over 125 other consultants, agencies, and SaaS companies working for the social good sector as well. Yesterday, I sat down with one of our partners and heard, from their perspective, how our companies have grown together. It made my heart happy and proud of what we've accomplished over the past two years. We've not only supported each other's businesses but have built an ecosystem of businesses working together on behalf of some critical organizations and missions.

This is how we've grown our partnership:

We had the patience to get to know each other's businesses, needs, people, and potential - individually and together. It took a while!

We had grace and gave each other time to figure out the best way of getting things done together.

When we found something that worked, we shared it with one another and then did it again and again.

We didn't compete against each other or outbid each other. We shared scopes, pricing, and strategy so we could both win, and our mutual customers benefited.

We invested in each other and took educated risks, relying on one another to honor our responsibilities and commitments.

We were honest with each other. When one of us messed up or wasn't meeting expectations as a partner, we called each other out. (in a nice way).

We celebrated each other's successes.

We had regular communication and scheduled touchpoints.

We were open with information so both businesses could make informed decisions.

This is how we run partnerships at Bonterra.

Contact me if you want a partner who is as invested in you as you are in us.
