While each business is individually owned and operated independently they work seamlessly behind the scenes to provide a one-stop package for their clients. They obviously know each other's businesses so well that the presentation was given solely by Grant Kilby from Now Communications.
Again it was more proof of the synergy between all three businesses and how they work together providing solutions to their clients across all three aspects of their business. Essentially each entity seeking opportunities within their industry but helping each of the others grow as well - hunting as a pack one might say.
Each entity has a very clear strategy/plan on how they target their particular market and by offering the services of each partnering entity they are able to offer value that perhaps their competitors can't.
I went away on Tuesday with great belief on how networking can truly help you grow your business. Do you openly seek relationships with businesses that are compatible with your industry? Do you have strategies in place to take advantage of such connections? If not then why not?
I am sure there are other examples out there of local businesses working together to grow their business and add value to their clients but then I am sure there are many more operating in silos and not aware of just how their networks can work for them.
If you need help identifying potential networks give me a call - bringing businesses together is what we do!
