Dos and Don'ts When Investing in a Strategic Partnership

Dos and Don'ts When Investing in a Strategic Partnership

Investing in a new strategic business partnership helps grow your business in alignment with your goals. You’ll need to have a set of goals shared with your partner, resources, trust with a new partner and your ROI (return on investment) that both parties are made aware of. When your business is looking over their current partnerships or potential future ones, do you have any needs or issues where you need support?

This could range from any of the services:

  • IT Services
  • Managed IT Provider
  • Disaster Recovery Plans
  • Risk Assessment Audits
  • Website Development
  • Website Compliance
  • Online Marketing
  • Email Marketing
  • Social Media
  • SEO & SEM
  • Blogging

Does your strategic partnership have your best interest in mind?

Does your partner know the morals and values of the company? Do they have your best interest in mind? Do they understand your brand and what it represents? If they don’t, it won’t be healthy or successful and it will be a challenge to reach your end goals.

Does your partner provide Managed IT services?

Does your business have recurring IT issues? Is it too expensive? Is your IT contact not present? Does it take too long to resolve an issue? Or, do you receive little communication?

VGM Forbin will take care of all your IT needs, so you won’t have to. You get an entire team working on monthly maintenance, security and support for less than the cost of hiring a new employee. You can get ongoing support from our IT team and resolve your issues promptly.

Does your website provider meet security and accessibility standards?

Does your website meet several different sets of compliance guidelines? If not, your business could be at risk of being sued.

Here’s our checklist of the “Dos and Don’ts” for all the things a partner should and should not be doing:

Take a moment to see where your partner stands when it comes to the services that they provide to you.

When it comes to your current or future business partner, do they pass the test?
