The word partnership is often used to describe ideal client relationships—but what does that mean exactly?
From experience drawn from working with 1000’s of organizations, the best client partnerships are ones where both parties become essential to each other’s future – meaning, for both organizations, their ideal future can only come to exist as a result of their relationship. For business development professionals, this is the difference between clients seeing your firm as one of many to choose from, and the one partner they wouldn’t make a move without.
How to become indispensable
Meaningful partnerships are the result not just of the things people are doing for each other, but, more importantly, who people are being for each other. In this workshop, Donna Bak, Partner at Sandler, and Brent Robertson, of future design firm Fathom, will explore the art and science behind establishing ideal client partnerships. Donna will share her deep expertise on how to become a Trusted Advisor to your clients, and Brent Robertson will discuss the cultural and operational aspects of organizations, that if present, favor client partnerships.
