Be curious; ask your partners what they want
Partnering starts with understanding who you want to partner with and what's most important to their business.
Partnering isn't just about your joint customers. It's a common mistake to focus just on your joint customer. But that's just table stakes. You better be bringing value to the customers.
That's just business 101.
If you really want to level up, you need to find out what's in it for the partner. If you don't understand what's in it for the partner, you'll never form a great partnership.
Find out the top priority of every exec on the team you want to partner with.
Focus on that to partner up and win big.

Quote of the Day
"One of the major principles of partnerships is just literally, don't be a d***head. If you can feel comfortable working with someone without even signing a contract, you know it's a good fit." -- Matt Dornfeld
