Science fiction stories like to tell us we are not alone. Parents and friends ensure that we understand that they are there for us whenever we need them.
In business, togetherness is not a matter of fiction, nor is it a matter of kindness and heart. In business, the concept of collaboration and networking is a matter of thriving and survival.
No business succeeds in a vacuum. You have partners with whom you speak regularly, and you have partners with whom you only occasionally do business with.
But it is essential that you do everything possible to appreciate the firms with whom
you work, and reach out to companies that you become aware of.
You just never know where your next great business opportunity will come from.
Collaboration
Your business requires collaboration with other companies to produce your products or services. Suppliers, service providers, delivery services – they all play a role in allowing you to accomplish your goals. You probably don’t immediately know just how many “partners” you have.
It is imperative that you do everything possible to make these collaborations work for both parties. Such is the case in terms of negotiating terms of agreement, but collaboration can be a friendlier aspect of your work than just crunching suitable numbers.
Within the walls of your company, collaboration plays a key role in accomplishing tasks. Each person is assigned specific jobs they are best suited for, and they perform those duties to the satisfaction of others in the business. That form of collaboration, combined with constructive criticism, creates efficient production and can lead to improved processing. It feels good to share abilities and responsibilities toward a desired goal.
The same is true in terms of B2B collaboration. Working with other firms in a climate of conjoined purpose creates a sense of smooth business operations. Providing feedback and accepting feedback from business partners can also provide a path to better communication and delivery of services, which can lead to lower operating costs. And who doesn’t like lower operating costs?
There is also a psychological advantage to working well with others. Any business relationship you have that is contentious is also worrisome. It bothers you to push and pull a delivery service or supplier to provide what you need. That struggle puts an edge to your work. You would be better off finding a partner with whom you share similar goals and can discuss matters in a less aggressive manner.
The word “collaboration” suggests a pleasant work environment. That is the desired atmosphere you want.
Networking
Networking is necessary, but it can also be enjoyable.
Networking is reaching out. It is taking advantage of your current relationships to discover new ones. It is discovering that there are potential business partners out there with similar goals and understandable approaches to their work that align well with your own functions.
It is likely that many of your existing business relationships were borne from a networking experience.
Someone knew someone who knew someone who could provide you with a service or product you need.
Finding new business partners is always a bit thrilling. It is thinking “this could really work out.” Networking helps you find new business partners you did not know existed.
You Just Never Know
Call it fate. Call it kismet. Call it chance.
You just never know what will come from successful collaboration or networking. In both cases, they provide an opportunity for growth, both financially and personally.
Take care of the people and businesses you currently work with, and be open to possibilities that exist as a result of those relationships. You just never know what could be the source of your next strong opportunity.
