One thing I’m becoming more intentional about in my role with ABC SOLUTIONS is building the right network of professionals around the businesses we serve.
Because the truth is, no one company can solve every problem.
A business may come to us looking for funding, but after looking deeper, the real issue may be revenue, technology, operations, credit, staffing, acquisitions, contracting opportunities or simply getting connected to the right resource.
That is why I’m building relationships with professionals and organizations across areas such as:
• Technology and product development
• Business funding and capital resources
• Commercial real estate
• Construction and contractor services
• Government and corporate contracting
• Business acquisitions
• Accounting, tax and legal services
• Marketing and business development
• Credit and financial services
• Operations and growth strategy
I’ve already started having some strong conversations with companies and professionals in several of these areas, and I want to continue expanding that network.
But I’m not interested in simply collecting names.
I’m looking for people who already serve business owners, understand what they do well, know where their lane ends, and are willing to make the right introduction when a client needs something outside of it.
The goal is simple:
A good business opportunity shouldn’t die just because it came through the wrong door.
So here is my question.
If you work with business owners, what is the one request your clients regularly bring to you that falls outside of what you actually provide?
That is the conversation I want to have.
