Create Value and Avoid Pitfalls with Collaboration

There’s some debate about the origin of the famous idiom “Two heads are better than one.” Some argue its use debuted in Book 10 of “The Iliad,” written by Homer in the late 7^th century BC, while biblical scholars point out its appearance in Ecclesiastes 4:9.

Regardless of your lean towards Greek philosophy or the Old Testament, there is no debate that the message—when more than one person works together, they can produce more and/or better results—has stood the test of time. As society has evolved, so too has this concept. It’s produced terms such as cooperation, teamwork, partnership, union, alliance, network… just to name a few.

Private wealth advisors must keep tabs on many activities at their firm. To do it is the ultimate test in multi-tasking. It’s easy to fall into the trap of an “I can handle it myself” mentality. However, trying to do too much alone can potentially have pitfalls.

This is where collaborating with PPB Capital Partners comes in.

Collaboration is the most important component of the relationship we have with our private wealth advisory partners. From day one of the relationship, we work in complete alignment with our advisor partners to map out the most appropriate solution. Being in complete alignment with advisors is the foundation of this partnership.

And that’s exactly what it is … a partnership. But truth be told, any of the synonyms mentioned above—team, alliance, collaboration, cooperation, etc.—are applicable. Collaboration between the advisor and PPB forges a valuable relationship, above and beyond assets and dividends.

To peel another layer of the collaboration onion, consider the different ways to measure the value of two (or more) heads being better than one:

Value in Networking
When working with colleagues, clients, counterparts or associates, you have a better chance to create a larger personal network. In turn, those enhanced relationships can create more opportunities for greater value for your business.

Imparting New Ideas
A brainstorm session with a room of eclectic thinkers is a breeding ground for new ideas to be shared, learned and tested. Will one of those ideas become your next great product offering, or lead to a better client experience? It can’t hurt to give it a shot.

Solutions Focused
Your clients expect solutions. By concentrating on solving a problem, you can keep any negative thoughts related to the problem itself from creeping into your mind. A straightforward solution that produces results is an added value that can fuel a client-advisor relationship into the future.

Discovering New Paths
Collaborating to solve a problem is an opportunity to be educated. The lessons to be learned and the benefits to your business can be boundless.

Aside from tangible results of the assigned project or achieving the goal that was originally set, the byproducts of a collaborative relationship are immeasurable. The most worthwhile—and possibly unintended—result is the value it creates.
