I’m looking for someone
to help me manage my street team
(i.e. superfans).
Someone I trust
is starting a business managing street teams.
She quoted me a price,
a $XX ONE time fee
for unlimited street team members.
I plan to have this street team
for three or four decades.
I also plan to eventually have
a HUGE street team.
This pricing makes no sense.
The manager won’t make any money.
Because she won’t be making money,
she likely also won’t be spending time
on managing my street team.
I renegotiated a fair annual price
dependent upon the number of members.
She’s happy
(and will be changing her fee structure
for all of her future clients)
and I’m happy.
Business relationships should be win-win.
Lose-win usually ends up as lose-lose.
