Your Power Partners will be those who supply your clients with services on a regular basis. They will consist of Printers, Publishers Photographers, Graphic Artists, Web Site Designers, as well as Speaker’s Bureaus and Service Organizations.

The conversations with these Power Partners should indicate your willingness to include them as you become aware of companies that need their services. It is important you meet with these Power Partners in person the first time, and then keep in touch with them weekly through email or phone conversations.
