Networking isn't just about who you know, but how you engage with others, offering value, and fostering meaningful relationships. In the fast-paced world of franchising, networking is your secret weapon for staying ahead, opening doors, and unlocking new possibilities. Embrace the power of networking, and watch your franchise journey flourish. #Networking #FranchiseSuccess #RelationshipBuilding #Collaboration #OpportunityCreation #ContinuousLearning #IndustryConnections #GrowthMindset #CommunityEngagement #EntrepreneurialSuccess

Most business networking events are just a pushy pitch fest... getting doused with others' commission breath as they shove a business card into your hand or take your phone hostage as they add themselves to your contacts. Does that really lead to valuable business? Rarely. Arizona Entrepreneurs is reimagining networking. It's about creating meaningful, quality connections. Person to person. Built first on relationship rather than transaction. And it works!

PARTNERSHIPS Over the past 4 months in my role at the De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce I have heard and used the word "partnership" more times than I can count. The partnerships that I was able to work with from my Day 1 to the ones I was able to develop in my short time here have been amazing. Similar visions, values, and goals make for some amazing magic for our local business community. A good friend called me recently and wanted to get my input on a partnership conversation he had that day. This friend is a keynote speaker and has been finding that many events now seem to be wanting his message (and others, of course) at no cost, but will offer some sort of a partnership or trade. As he and I have discussed in the past, there is a time and place where a trade makes sense. Who is the audience? What is the mission? Is it an event you would want to attend anyway? How are the connections you will make? If those few questions have an answer that is beneficial to you, then absolutely, explore a trade. In this particular conversation, the host event requested an official partnership in exchange for a VERY discounted speaking rate--well below what he is worth. When my friend told the host that he was not able to speak for that low of a price without some additional things, they cited how having a "partnership" would make up for the difference yet could not supply the benefits my friend would receive for that exchange. They then became very rude and snippy when he again decided to pass. I've heard other situations where people seem to not understand what a "partnership" actually entails. A partnership must benefit both parties equally. If that doesn't happen, it's not a partnership. It bothers me to no end when one side tries to take advantage of the other. That word cannot be thrown around lightly, especially when income and other financials are in place. As businesses we need to do better with these discussions. Are we trying to build each other up, or are we trying to take advantage of something? I know which side I'd prefer to be on. What about you? #partnerships #fairness #businesscommunity
