Consulting Partner
Overview
Strategic Partnerships, Inc. (SPI) seeks to enter into a mutually-beneficial partnership with professional consultants through our Consulting Partner Contracts. Combined with the support structure of research, advocacy, and access provided by our internal team, the Consulting Partners add industry expertise and/or local relationship knowledge to benefit clients served by SPI. By effectively combining skills, relationships, and technical expertise of our internal staff and Consulting Partners, SPI can offer a wide range of benefits to our clients.
What SPI Brings to the Partnership
SPI brings its internal support infrastructure to this partnership. We will recruit the client and make the determination of needs and services to be provided. We will formalize this agreement in a contract with specific deliverables. Each Client will have an Internal Client Team assigned to plan and implement the specific strategy for service. Each Client Team will have a Senior Consultant assigned to oversee all activities, including the oversight of any Consulting Partners. The Consulting Partner will be treated as a valuable member of the client team and should be provided adequate background information from the Client Team to be properly prepared before engaging with the client. SPI will provide follow-up information to external consultants on the progress of activities for those projects they participate in to keep them up to date when speaking with their local contacts.
What it Takes to be a Consulting Partner
The Consulting Partner should bring industry-specific expertise and/or established relationships with local decision-makers to facilitate access to key stakeholders for SPI clients. The Consulting Partner is responsible for developing strategic approaches to best serve client needs, coordinating timely meetings with key decision-makers, and collaborating with the SPI Team to ensure all promised deliverables are successfully met.
