After building up Lead Cookie & Content Allies to a decent state, I am beginning to look at building up a third company with a business partner this time. As I am doing this, I realized I needed to look back on what worked with my two successful companies, and what failed in the many attempts I made on other ventures.

Whether your company has acquired three companies, or 300 companies, you know how hard it is to get sales teams working and selling together. Many acquisitions fail to generate the expected revenue growth because they can’t operationalize a joint sales motion.

Investment in future-ready leadership is essential to a company’s successful growth.

“ My CEO wants a Joint Venture ” is one of many quotes (or similar) that I often hear when in conversations with potential clients.

In a joint venture, the CEO wants the majority stake and thus tries to minimise risk by keeping control over the partnership.
