Winning First Doesn't Matter

You don’t want to win first.

It might seem counterintuitive.

But if you’re focused on getting that win, your partners lose out.

And ultimately, you do too.

In my experience, the only way to grow a sustainable business is to put your partners first.

Get that win for your partner and treat each win like it’s your own.

You’re cementing your value to their business.

You’re proving that you want to see them succeed.

And you’re showing them the kind of wins they can get if they stay with you for the long haul.

Partnerships were how I made Mercury Payment Systems one of the most valuable payment processing companies in North America.

And they’re how I’m growing #MassPay today.

As a #payout orchestration platform, we’re only one part of the payment ecosystem.

But by partnering up with payment platforms, for example, we can do more together and provide better value to companies looking for payment solutions.

So if you’re entering a new partnership, ask yourself: how can I get my partner that first win?
