An actionable tip for business development (BD) and securing partnerships.
- Avoid Cold Emails: Don't email partnerships teams blindly; it's inefficient.
- Proximity: Go where the founders hang out.
- Value First: Be useful to them twice before asking for anything.
The core logic is building actual interaction and trust, which is more effective than traditional, process-heavy BD outreach.
