Tips

• Evaluate partnerships on what they bring to your customers not just what they bring to you
• The exit provisions are the most important terms to negotiate - plan for the partnership ending before it begins
• Start with a pilot period before committing to long-term terms
• If the value exchange isn't clearly positive for both sides the partnership will erode over time
