WHY is this important?
First, working with your current Strategic Partners allows you to provide value-add services to your high value clients by introducing them to other professionals, some of whom may also play a role in their financial matters. This is important to them and they really appreciate it. Often, it is this type of value-add that has your top clients referring you to their friends, family & colleagues.
​
Secondly, this promotes growth in your business through referrals outside of your client base via your Strategic Partners. When it comes to your Strategic Partners, you can and should describe your ideal client so they can determine which of their clients are a good fit to send to you going forward.
​
We will show you how to identify and manage Strategic Partners in a way that is completely aligned with the philosophy and approach you’ve learned in the PSA program which is designed to help you organize, systematize, and meaningfully grow your business.
