Introductions and Collaborations for Small Businesses
Sometimes the fastest way forward is the right introduction. Tim has spent decades building relationships, from local owners to C-level executives, and he opens that network to help you find partners, suppliers and collaborators.
Introductions and collaborations
The Right Connection at the Right Time
Running a small business can feel like doing it alone. A good introduction can open a door you didn't know was there.
What We Can Help With
- Introductions through Tim’s own network
- Find trusted partners and suppliers
- Collaborate with other local businesses
- Make the most of events, conferences and industry groups
- Partner with influencers, paid or unpaid
Signs It's Time to Talk
- You need a partner or supplier and don't know who to ask
- You keep going to events but leave without real connections
- A nearby business could be a great fit, but you've never reached out
- You've thought about working with influencers but don't know how
- The person you need to reach feels out of reach
Opening Doors That Are Hard to Open Alone
Tim has spent his career in marketing, events, conferences and networking. That experience, and the relationships that came with it, is part of what he brings to the table.
Where Owners Get Stuck
An owner knows the business would move faster with the right partner, supplier or collaborator. But they don't know where to start. Cold emails go unanswered, events feel like a lot of handshakes with little to show for it, and the people who could help seem hard to reach.
What Changes When We Work Together
We start by getting clear on who would actually help and why. Where it makes sense, Tim makes introductions through his own network. We also help you approach local businesses about working together, get more out of events, conferences and industry groups, and think through influencer partnerships, paid or unpaid.
