I see it firsthand, the positive relationships that are built for businesses in terms of branding. Business get closer to their customers in terms of wider engagement. Artists actually help solve problems.Tip number oneFirstly, banish preconceptions, on both sides. Go into this with an open mind, but don’t leave your brains behind. Don’t abandon due diligence and your business brain.Tip number twoSecondly, set objectives from the outset . So both parties know when they're winning. When you set objectives and goals you know, where you want to get to. Artists and private commercial businesses need to clearly define the aims and outcomes, the expectations of working together.Having that clarity, having clear expectations from the beginning will enable you to keep track toward your success.Tip number threeThirdly, monitor. Monitor what you're doing. Monitor for success, for both parties. Once you define the nature of your relationship, your objectives and goals, make sure that you measure progress. It’s great for accountability, measuring progress so you actually know you're going on the right path.And in most things in business relationships, it's about solving somebody's problem, about solving somebody's pain.What NextGrab a coffee, make yourself comfortable, sit back and listen.
