Collaborations and strategic partnerships are one of the most powerful (and cost-efficient) ways to grow and scale your business. But how the heck do you even start and approach a collaboration conversation? 

In this episode, I bring in Collaborations expert, Danielle Wiebe to chat about what makes a strategic collaboration, the anatomy of a killer collaboration pitch, and the key elements you must consider before and during a collaboration. 

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• We chat with Danielle, the founder of Business Babes Collective, a collective of women entrepreneurs from around the world.
• What a collaboration should never start with.
• What pitching should focus on instead.
• Getting creative with your pitch.
