From MPI SBO Community: Building a strong vendor network
1 Be Proactive in Networking: proactive networking helps you discover reliable partners who can add value to your business.

● Make it a point to participate in trade shows, conferences, and local networking events.
● Consider using LinkedIn and MPI’s Community Forums to connect with vendors virtually.

2 Cultivate Genuine Relationships: transactional relationships are fleeting. Building genuine connections leads to long-term partnerships that benefit both parties.

● Keep in touch beyond just when you need something.
● A thank-you note or public shout-out goes a long way in making vendors feel valued.
● Take the time to learn about your vendors' goals and challenges.

3 Prioritize Mutual Benefits: relationships thrive when both parties see value. Focusing on mutual benefits ensures that vendors are as invested in your success as you are in theirs.

● If you’re happy with a vendor, recommend them to others.
● Look for opportunities where you and your vendor can work together for mutual gain, such as co-hosting an event or webinar.
● Ensure your vendors are compensated fairly. A vendor who feels valued is more likely to go the extra mile for you.
