The key to a partnership is knowing how you are going to add value compared to the person they’re using. -Peter Fickeisen

 

Takeaways

• Earning partnerships through giving value
  Partnerships don’t happen overnight, and must be earned. It’s not about how great you are, but how you can add value and give instead of solely receiving.
  
  
• How meeting regularly helps maintain partnerships
  In order to maintain a partnership, we need to have a schedule set up to meet with agents regularly. We want to make sure that we are ingrained in the culture of our partnerships. If we are not seeing our partners often enough, it makes it less likely that we’ll do business together.
  
  
• How agreements facilitate fair partnerships
  We need to set up agreements with our partners to manage expectations. The agreement should include how each party contributes so that there are elements of giving and receiving on both sides.

It takes commitment to become connected with the top agents in your area.

Partnerships need regular meetings and a mutually beneficial agreement. You must have enough unique value to command and demand that they send you all their business.
