How do business develop strategic partnerships?

[1ElephantStrength]

Hi,

I need some advice, I have a client and they make websites, apps, hosting, Its been difficult as this client has no marketing activity, the website is being worked on and developed, no enquires or followers on social media. However they have great testimonials and reviews from customers. How can I business develop and make strategic partnerships or get sales because so far this has been a challenge. The other team members are part of a networking group but so far no leads from this avenue. Any ideas most welcome, thank you.

They are working on redeveloping the website and recently hired someone to do their twitter facebook and blog posts

What experience do you have...?

Strategic partnerships are built on trust and trust doesn't happen from a tweet or a search on Google.

I get this feeling of deja vue from other posts you've made whilst claiming to be an expert marketing consultant.

It adds value because it points out the disparity in your posts. If you are as you claim to be a marketing expert you wouldn’t need to ask these questions. If you need answers to your questions you aren’t a marketing expert.

I agree we are here to help and learn, but your posts make little sense. If this client is paying you to do their marketing it's only fair that those offering help and advice here on UKBF receive a proportion of the money. Or you pass on the client to someone who does know how to market an app/website developer.

You get strategic partners by identifying areas where you can add reciprocal value create mutual dependence

You then find likely partners and set about building trust and confidence

There are no magic bullets, it takes time, effort and strategy
