Key Takeaways:

“When you're attracting clients, you can build, buy or borrow.” - April Meese

“Relationships take a little bit of work, but for me, it was always an easier way. And not to say you wouldn't do the others as well, you would still do your social media and do your building. And you might even do a little bit of paid but the ‘borrow’ was always the way for me to go.”- April Meese

“Partnerships can take a variety of forms. But the ones that work best for me were always the high-end salons or spas that didn't offer the services that I was offering. Even for the lash artists, if they want to partner with a solo permanent makeup artist -- these are two complementary businesses.” - April Meese

“Be flexible; that’s how we want to be in business.” - April Meese

“Be clear with your communication because expectations are just future disappointments if not properly talked about. If you haven't expressed what you're wanting and what it looks like in your mind for this partnership.” - April Meese

“It's so interesting that somebody said this to me before, you have to ask to get it because a lot of times we think, oh I don't want to bother. But here's the thing, people love to give their opinions.” - April Meese

“See if the business is promoting themselves. Because if they are not promoting themselves, it's probably not going to happen that they're going to promote you.” - April Meese

“Don't worry about the ones(partnerships) that don't get off the ground. Just the ones that are soaring, put your energy into that. Put your time and all of your love into those that are really working.” - April Meese
