Coagro Corp: How to Create Stable Business Alliances

Alliances are valuable to achieve new working opportunities.

Most businesses don't work as standalone, self-sufficient units. They depend on the cooperative and synchronized work, on the distribution of different tasks, to achieve the desired result. This happens both on internal and external commercial partnerships. Businesses are bound to interact with other companies, whether for the sourcing, manufacture or distribution of the product. On average, they’ll have to interact with at least 5 other enterprises. However, to achieve the desired results, this work-mode requires cooperative work to a level that most people do not function on a daily basis. We're talking about something called “business alliances.”

What’s a business alliance?

These are societies among business owners, established to work on a particular goal. Evidently, the activities will not be the same for each party on the alliance, but all will work towards a common objective, with a similar approach. For example, a company that manufactures electronics will often require small components that another company fabricates. So they will establish a business alliance. This alliance is more than just a selling-buying transaction. Both parties will benefit from the operation, and they build a cooperative approach to the goal: the delivery of a top electronic product.

These alliances variate from market to market and depending on which part of the commerce chain you focus. The priorities of each business owner will variate from one to the other, creating a diversity of possible alliances within the same company. There are, however, 5 different general categories you should know:

Sales: focuses on complementing or cooperating in the necessary actions to sell a product in the market.
Joint-venture: a commercial brands merger to sell the same product.
Investment: mutual funds are used in the commercial activity.
Geographic-involvement: all parties involved work in a geographically co-branded product.
Solution-oriented: cooperate to find a solution to specific problems.

A company may have more than one of these alliances, and while it might seem a bit redundant, they all depend on the relationships established in other alliances. Commercial activities alliances are focused on the operative value of the associations, and these work as a living organism: any failure in one party, affects the performance of the other parties. For that reason, you need to ensure that the relationships you establish are stable and constructive for your venture's goal.

These are the best indications to build a stable business alliance in any business:

Follow a plan: for business alliances to work, there has to be a system or order, which can only be established through well-thought planning. Have that always in mind, and consider it a vital part of your agenda.
Focus on personal development: while it might not seem relevant, the attitude that every member of a business alliance has is fundamental to the overall success of the work. Focus on creating personal and professional growth opportunities for each party, as this will guarantee a profitable business relationship.

Reshape the agreements: often when businesses grow, their alliances become stagnant. Don't be afraid to reshape or renew your agreements with them. Focus on your business growth opportunities and both profit margins as this will increase their wish to work with you.

Be mindful of the details: small things matter in business alliances. When you are an attentive associate, you are more likely to have a long-standing relationship with your allies. Remember all those little comments, create shared calendars, and focus on being supportive. That will build a positive rapport.
