Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers.
Thoughtful partnerships.

Community Growth Partner™ is built around human presence, relationship-based representation, thoughtful community participation, and the intelligence that helps keep meaningful activity connected beyond the room.

The model is human.
The expectations should be clear.

Understanding the Model

Community representation is familiar work organized in a different way.

The questions below explain how Community Growth Partner works, what a business partnership may include, how representation is approached, and what distinguishes the model from traditional sales, referral, advertising, or networking arrangements.

They also address Protected Representation, Relationship Intelligence, participation expectations, and the professional role of the Community Growth Partner.

Another Way to Add the Function

The work may be familiar. How you access it can be different.

Companies have traditionally created an internal position when they needed someone to network, attend events, build community relationships, represent the business, speak on its behalf, and help develop opportunities.

Community Growth Partner offers another option: access to that specialized function as a professional service — similar to the way businesses use consultants, fractional professionals, contractors, and other specialized external partners.

Specialized Capacity

Add dedicated community representation, networking, speaking, relationship-building, and business presence without first creating and filling another internal position.

Built-In Infrastructure

The service brings the representation model, professional support, relationship-intelligence practices, and digital platform that help organize the work around the partnership.

Flexible Ways to Grow

Work with an external CGP, strengthen an existing internal representative through training and technology, or, as the model expands, explore support identifying or staffing a dedicated CGP for your organization.

You do not necessarily need to build another position before you can add more relationship-building capacity.
