Partners and partnerships are in a key role in many of the internationalization services provided by Finpro. This is especially true, when our client companies are aiming at emerging markets. The most popular of Finpro’s services is actually our Partner Search.
During the development of our own representative network and related processes Finpro has had to have a broad look at partnering. This has meant reviewing global partner practices of supply and distribution in parallel. One of the conclusions of this review process has been that, regardless of the perspective taken (supply or distribution), many statements are applicable to both cases. This is also visible in the seven thoughts described later in this document. The result is quite logical in business environment as most partnerships within a value chain are formed between a supplier and a distributor.
The document discusses the five dimensions of organizational trust: executive to everybody else, manager to employee, peer to peer, company to vendors/partners, and company to market.

Raising levels of trust involves consistent behavior, open communication, transparency, accountability, and focusing on win-win outcomes rather than individual interests.
Most outsourcing deals fail because the trust between the client and outsourcing provider breaks down over time. Trust is essential for successful outsourcing relationships but can be subjective. To mitigate this, organizations should establish trust through objective mechanisms like pilot projects, clear requirements, and independent monitoring rather than solely relying on personal relationships. Taking steps to continuously establish and ensure trust through various mechanisms can help outsourcing relationships succeed in the long run.

3) Providing consistent customer experiences across channels is important for leaders, who are more likely to see omni-channel engagement as effective.
CRM is more than a functional strategy, it is a business strategy that affects the entire organization. It provides direction to all departments that interact with customers. The four key elements of CRM are customer knowledge, relationship strategy, communication, and individual value proposition. Customer knowledge involves gathering data on what customers purchase, how they purchase, and their feedback to develop a personalized understanding of each customer. Relationship strategy focuses on developing long-term relationships with customers through mutual understanding rather than just completing transactions. Effective communication uses multiple channels to allow dialogue with customers anywhere. The individual value proposition adapts products, services, and prices to individual customer needs and feedback.

2. Most daily business
decisions are plain
purchasing decisions. Going
to the copy store to have a
presentation printed and
bound is a plain purchasing
decision that does not
require a relationship with
the vendor. This is a quick,
in-and-out transactional
service, and your experience
is based on the transaction,
not the relationship.
The decision to outsource
and delegate back-office
processing work is
significantly different. When
this type of purchasing
decision is made, the
relationship forged must be
meaningful, productive and
lasting. Over an extended
period of time, needs and
wants are going to change,
and this requires a
relationship strong enough
to weather that ebb
and flow.
KEYS TO
SUCCESS
Keep it simple. Agree on the frequency
of planned communication for reports
being delivered, conference calls, etc.
Both sides should keep multiple lines of
communication open for quick and easy
responses to inquiries from their new
strategic partner.
A common pitfall in a sourcing
relationship is only communicating when
there is an issue. Having regular lines of
communication open are important for
building the foundation of the
relationship. This makes it easier to have
discussions that may be more difficult.
1. COMMUNICATION
What are some keys to a
good relationship?
· setting expectations
· commitment
· trust
· consistency
· accountability
· measurement
· communication
· performance
· dependability
· listening
· respect
· aligned purpose
3. GOVERNANCE AND ESCALATION
Sometimes you'll have specific items to
discuss that will result in more involved
meetings, but even when there doesn't
seem to be much to talk about, it's good for
the relationship to check in and confirm
everything is going well. These
short meetings are opportunities to talk
more about the 'why' behind the work
being delegated, and organizations may
find the thoughts and ideas of the team
performing the work insightful.
Consistency of these meetings sets up the
cadence for discussion, and can make it
easier to escalate potential issues because
of the level of comfort established. When
something isn't going well, bringing it to the
attention of the provider ensures both
parties remain on the same page and
continue to work together towards a
shared goal.
2. TRUST
Building trust takes time, but more
importantly, it takes effort from
both parties involved in the
relationship. Telling the truth, honoring
promises and maintaining a transparent
posture on both sides allows for innovation
and idea sharing, whereas keeping a wall up
inhibits the provider's ability to deliver
maximum value to the organization.
Being consistent in the format of the
information being shared establishes an
expectation level that can be met regularly.
3. COMMITMENT
Commitment starts internally in the
language used when talking about
the relationship. Portraying a belief in the
service and committing to its success goes a
long way with staff, as opposed to taking a
more reserved stance using language like
wish, hope or try. Reminding staff that the
processing teams are an extension of the
internal sales, service and management
teams displays commitment. Believing and
expressing that the relationship will develop
into a partnership promotes similar behavior
across the organization. This is the same for
all business relationships including agency
and carrier relationships.
Get to know your processing team
and encourage them to get
acquainted with your internal staff.
This helps increase the level of
comfort when delegating new
processes or making changes to
existing work being performed.
4. TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP PAIRS
Assigning a relationship leader at the
insurance organization and the service
provider can greatly impact the success
of the engagement.
With a point person on both sides
focused on nurturing the relationship, it is
much easier to resolve problems and drive
solutions since there is an explicit level of
mutual commitment.
4. ALIGNED
PURPOSE
The service provider should
understand your mission, vision,
and value. They should be contributing to
the goals and objectives of the organization
and absorbing the actions and approaches
being used internally. Additionally, the
provider should become familiar with the
systems and resources used, working to
build a trusted relationship with internal staff.
Teams should know how they fit together
and how the work they do is related to the
work of their colleagues and their provider.
Testing alignment frequently and refreshing
it periodically can go a long way in aligning
purpose, which subsequently builds
efficiencies and room for growth.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
The insurance organization is responsible
for communicating its needs and wants
to the service provider. The provider is
then responsible for honestly and openly
expressing its capability to meet those
needs and wants. After these two
pieces are shared, both parties are
responsible for working together to
agree on requirements.

1.
Proper measurement begins by
working with your provider to
define the target or objective.
Then through collaborative review of the
results, the approach being taken to hit
the target can be calibrated. Both parties
should constantly be asking themselves
"why?" in order to understand the
purpose behind the measurements being
taken. This allows for critical thinking on
both ends of the relationship in regards
to improving accuracy and focusing
in on true key performance indicators.
