Growing your company sales by adding promotional and sales agents and increasing your marketing exposure is an obvious way to beef up revenues but few companies consider the virtually instantaneous power of strategic alliances. Creating strategic partnerships with 'would be' rivals and companies that cater to your business genre can help you rapidly take possession of your market.
If you are a printer, team up with brochure designers, ink and paper distributors, advertising firms and print solution resellers. If you are a solar panel technology company then team up with corporations who have government grants for research and development and other alternative energy groups such as wind energy turbine technology firms, Department of Energy contractors etc. By teaming up with other companies and combining resources. You can stimulate growth in every area of your business. Look at each individual product and service you offer.
Now think of other companies who you can team up with to share resources. Make sure you create win/win opportunities for everyone involved as this is the only way to truly take advantage of this type of partnership. Don't look at this concept as leaching off of other company's resources, to the contrary, carefully researched and structured alliances will transform the here and now as well as future business of all parties involved. Strategic alliances will also enhance your appeal as an 'invest-able' business to venture capital firms and angel investors.
Think about it. You have a carefully constructed and managed corporate infrastructure. You've taken the steps to make sure that each of your 'C' level executives has been promoted as the 'who's who' in the industry to speed up investor due diligence and increase customer confidence. You've carefully selected a board of directors that will effectively and actively guide you through the turbulent industry environment with their proven track record of success. And you've even initiated and solidified powerful partnerships that enhance your business concept and strengthen the longevity of your company.
You are now ready for expansion, investors, venture capital firms, taking your company public, attracting a professional CEO or CFO and practically anything your company is setting out to do.
