CharlesWorks Business Partners
Criteria and Information
Our Business Partners are other local
and independent businesses with which we maintain a
symbiotic relationship.
We may provide similar products
and services but don't actually compete. We team up,
so-to-speak, mutually benefitting each other with a
positive-sum gain from cooperation.
Benefits
of being a CharlesWorks Partner:
-
We gain
appreciation and knowledge of each of our businesses.
Where we might have
previously thought of each other as competitors,
we can feel the freedom of working in a spirit
of collaboration.
-
We strive to help improve the
current local economic environment. By promoting and using
other truly local
businesses, we are able to actually strengthen
our local economies. If anyone tells you it it doesn't matter whether you host locally or not, then they don't care about the local economy and therefore don't really care about the success of YOUR business - only THEIRS. If you've been hosting other than locally, what are the odds of the company you send those hosting dollars to reciprocating by sending YOU business? If you got only one possible customer in a year, it would make up immediately for any hosting costs.
Dealing locally is always best.
-
We improve our
customer service abilities. As partners, we can give
each other feedback we might otherwise never
have received on our
client's experiences. Simply
put, if you don't look good, we don't
look good. And we all strive to look good!
-
All
of our businesses
prosper by using and referring to each other's products and services.
How CharlesWorks Partners concept evolved:
CharlesWorks is a local business in the
Peterborough, NH area, with our primary servers being
right here in the Monadnock Region of Southern New Hampshire. During our many years of operation since 1998, we have
routinely sought out other local entities to help us with our business,
and in turn, send business back to them. It just makes sense.
While some
aspects of our businesses may definitely overlap, we don't view it as competition.
Instead of having to say, "Sorry, we can't help you with that.", it's nice to
be able to connect our clients with someone who CAN help them (that worked immensely well for Macy's Department Store). A satisfied client
usually equates to more business - especially
regarding referrals.
In addition to our own
networking, CharlesWorks and many of our Partners have been members of
BNI, a well established business networking organization, where the
operating philosophy
is based upon "Givers Gain".
Important criteria for being a CharlesWorks Partner:
-
Be governed by the
motive - that, “What you do for yourself can get you by. What you do for others
is what will get you ahead; whether in your profession, spiritual
pursuits or relationships.”
-
Be a CharlesWorks
hosting client and have referred other clients
to CharlesWorks who are hosting clients in good
standing.
-
Put your client
first. Have an understanding of what services CharlesWorks and
CharlesWorks Partners offer so that you can refer your client and help them in
the best way. Even if you send the business elsewhere, YOU end up
looking good.
-
Have services,
products or resources that would be of benefit to CharlesWorks
clients, so CharlesWorks can refer to you.
-
Be committed,
honest and fair in your business practices.
-
Be willing to
share ideas about topics that will enable things
like business practices and services to be improved.
-
Be willing to share client feedback
in an effort to improve business and goodwill
amongst clients.
CharlesWorks is the final decider of eligibility and
acceptance of any individual or entity desiring to
partner with us.
