All business is relationships when distilled to its core - People communicating, interacting, negotiating, and agreeing to try and accomplish mutually beneficial outcomes. As such, it's no surprise that we've seen the maintenance and efforts towards these relationships be highly correlated with long term success. In this first part of a two part series this week, we discuss our observations, takeaways, and general insights regarding business relationships, their importance, and how to keep them. #hillviewpartners

The professional services industry is dramatically different today than it was 5 years ago. My good friend shared an article with me last night (linked below) and offered a great summary: “Of the various ways attorneys generate and develop business, one style they’ve dubbed ‘The Activator’ has the highest ceiling, best ROI, and more repeat customers.  You activate your clients’ networks. You intro them to other lawyers. You intro them to other folks in your firm. You intro them to your friends who do stuff outside of law. You actively look to improve their business – not just service them for your own. The old model is one where people hoard business – why? Well, frankly just because they could. Today the reach and interconnectivity are endless. Gone are the days when you could sequester your clients from rival firms.  Therefore, you own that reality and keep it real. Of course, the novel take here is that clients appreciate the self-awareness from their legal team and in return will use you as often as they reasonably can.” This article and my friend’s comments are spot-on. In today’s day & age, the old way of transacting business as a zero-sum game is outdated. -     Clients want attorneys to exist to assist their business in an efficient and collaborative manner – not be a line-item expense in their budget. -     Clients want “Activator” attorneys to serve as a service hub for connecting them with impactful contacts, other attorneys, and other services that can help them win. If you run a business, consider whether it’s time to seek the services of an “Activator” firm that can drive value by committing to business development for your company, connecting with other clients and colleagues, and creating value through collaboration. https://lnkd.in/eHzjfaFn

This Harvard Business Review article really resonated with me. Whether your profession is accountancy, law or valuation - at the end of the day we are all just salesmen.

In the landscape of business, finding the perfect balance between strategic partnerships and transactional relationships can feel like navigating a labyrinth. With nearly 600 companies engaging with Vested, one might wonder why only a handful of these collaborations are celebrated publicly as case studies. The truth is, the path to a deeply Vested partnership is not only challenging, it’s not always the path that every alliance is meant to travel. Establishing and fostering a truly Vested partnership requires more than just mutual interest; it demands dedication, relentless effort, and sometimes it means recognizing that not all relationships are destined for such depths. Consider the vast web of connections a company like P&G maintains; it’s clear that while every supplier plays a role, not all can, or should, share that profoundly strategic tie. Our highlighted case studies are not just success stories; they're testaments to the courage to strive for a model that asks more of us but promises greater rewards. To those wondering whether a Vested path is suited for your partnership, send me a message. I'd love to send over more information for you to decide if it's the right path for you. What has been your most rewarding partnership experience, Vested or otherwise? #StrategicPartnerships #Collaboration #Culture

I’ve completed my first month in Partnerships. The key lessons I’ve learned are: 1. The importance of providing value 🏆 2. Preparation is essential 😁 3. Insights are king 💡 4. Asking good questions 🙋♂️ These four things combined enable a deep understanding of our partners' businesses, engaging them more openly and productively. What does that result in? A win for everyone and less time getting to the bottom of partners' challenges. If that’s the revelation from just the first 30 days, I can only imagine what's coming next 🤣
