Curated Connections – Strategic Partner Matchmaking
Curated Connections is a specialist service for established businesses looking to build a high-trust team of referral and affiliate partners.
You understand the benefits of great partnerships, but the challenge you face is finding the right people, starting the right conversations, and turning those conversations into genuine working relationships.
All without a big time and energy drain.
Through Curated Connections, I help you identify the kinds of partners who could become valuable sources of regular referrals, introductions, and opportunities for your business.
Depending on your needs, I can either guide you through the process and help you build those relationships yourself, or I can actively source potential partners and facilitate introductions on your behalf.
My focus is primarily on the marketing industry, where strong partnerships often develop between businesses serving a similar audience from different angles. But I can also potentially help you regardless of your sector or niche.
Here are the two ways we can work together:
Done-With-You
You want to find your own referral and collaboration partners. I help you do this with ongoing strategic advice. You source potential partners, determine the best partnerships, initiate conversations, and build relationships while I remain in the background offering both guidance and moral support.
Done-For-You
You’re busy or you’d prefer not to do all of this yourself. With this option, I source perfect-fit partner types for you, initiate first contact, build relationships and rapport, and then privately introduce you to these people. You then take the relationship from there and explore mutually beneficial opportunities together.
Pricing & Options
The exact fee will depend on the scope of our work together.
There are currently two ways I price Curated Connections: monthly (or quarterly) retainers and performance-based agreements.
The done-with-you option includes unlimited email communication plus two Zoom catch-up calls per month. This is strictly a retainer-based service.
The done-for-you option typically sees me introduce you to a minimum of four partners per month. This can be either retainer-based or performance-based, with several options available for the latter.
Both Curated Connection service types include an initial strategy session.
Referral Opportunities Analysis
I also offer a one-off consultation call (90 minutes) separate to Curated Connections. This is ideal if you’re not sure which of the above plans would suit your situation or you just want quick insights to act on immediately.
I help you explore the following:
• Your understanding of referral and strategic partnerships
• Gaps and opportunities in your current referral and collaboration strategies
• Different types of partners applicable to your business, industry, and goals
• Exciting collaboration and partnership ideas to explore
• Where mindset, personality, and values play a role in referral success
• Whether strategic referrals and collaborations are right for your business

Important To Note
Curated Connections helps you find ideal referral, affiliate, and collaboration partners. It’s NOT designed to source and introduce potential clients. If a strategic partner actively seeks on their own volition to become a client of yours after they get to know you, that’s fine, but that’s not the goal behind my service.
Also, I actively dissuade all of my clients and partners from aggressively selling their services to people I introduce as potential referral or collaboration partners. Doing so results in an immediate suspension of our working together.
