Prosper With Partnerships: How To Maintain Your Independence While Increasing Your Expertise
Distributors are entrepreneurs. Think about it: Entrepreneurship is about taking an idea and being solely responsible for the value that results, which is exactly what distributors like you do for every promo order you fulfill. However, that doesn't mean you need to do it alone. After all, it's impossible for one person to know everything about the promo industry, and no distributor entrepreneur should miss out on growth opportunities because of that.
So how exactly can distributors increase their business acumen without losing their entrepreneurial spirit? The most important consideration is about who you partner with and what they stand for. Unlike operational considerations, for this type of partnership you'll want to seek out someone who can be a trusted advisor. It's so essential to have that advisor there at the ready to help you fill in knowledge gaps.
