Talcott Financial Group’s Post

I know many of you in my community are leaders of business, community, or Not-For-Profit organizations. At some point, you will be asked to sponsor an event or be trying to generate sponsorship funding. My friend Brent Barootes wrote a post yesterday about the importance of forming genuine relationships deeper than just engaging potential partners in golf games, dinners, salmon fishing, plays, trips or other events. The thoughtful post offers tips for anyone building business or community relationships. https://rb.gy/ykxec1

Fundraising, but make it ecomm. We’re looking to make a Q1 conference for Gen Z happen. Crossing off the world impossible, because people have doubted the power of different generations coming together to make an intentional event happen. We need your help: ➡️ share this link to anyone you think stand by our mission and would like to support a specific item for the conference. ➡️ think over if you might personally be interested in partnering with us.

Recently, I shared how 2 #Community organizations I’m working with are closing paid partnership deals. Here are 2 things they’re doing different tactically that’s helping them succeed: — They care deeply about making it a win-win-win partnership (not a sponsorship) — They’re flexible and also stand their ground (not getting walked over and not afraid to walk away from a deal) I’ve hand my hands in ~$60K of partner deals in the last few months 💰 Companies are investing in value-add community partnerships in 2024 — make them valuable for everyone and correctly valued. The money will come with some hard work too. #CommunityManager #CommunityManagement
