Build partnerships starting with people you know

The best partnerships usually start with trust. TapForNetwork shows who in your network may fit the partner you describe, and keeps every conversation moving.

03Your playbook

Find candidates among your connections

Describe the partner you want
Who you serve, what you offer and what you need from a partner, in a few plain sentences. Add the companies and kinds of role that fit.
2
Review the candidates
Best fits: partner candidates from your own network, each with a plain reason. Mark fit, maybe or not relevant.
3
Open with mutual value
Lead with what is in it for them: a shared customer problem, an audience, a gap you fill.
4
Move from idea to agreement
Move each partner through simple stages, with a note and the day of the next step. Today reminds you when it is due.

Example outreach notes

Examples to adapt, not to paste. Make the details true for you and the person you write to.

Opening with mutual value

Hi Hannah, many of our bookkeeping clients ask us for payroll help, and I suspect your payroll clients ask you about bookkeeping. Would a 20-minute call to compare notes be useful? No commitment either way.

Name the shared customer problem. Keep the first ask small.

Proposing a small pilot

Rahul, following our call: here is a one-page outline for a joint webinar in November. We would handle the content; you would invite your customers. Shall we pick a date?

A small, time-boxed pilot is easier to agree to than a partnership contract.

Keeping a partner warm

Elena, the Guild’s autumn programme looks great. We would be glad to run a free session on year-end bookkeeping for members again if that helps.

Offer something before you need something.

05Rhythm

Keep partners warm

Small and steady beats big and rare.

One partner conversation moved forward per day is plenty.
After every call, note the agreed next step and set a reminder for it.
Review active partners monthly: what each side delivered, what is next.
Say thank you publicly when a partner sends you business, if they are happy with that.

Mistakes to avoid

Proposing a formal partnership in the first message.
Only ever asking; never sending referrals back.
Letting a promising call go cold because nobody owned the next step.
Assuming everyone at a company speaks for it. Find the person who can decide.

Can I track partners in stages?

Yes. Move each partner through simple stages, from idea to done, and get reminded when the next step is due.
