1 - Integrity
Ethics classes CPE requirements
You already face rigid standards for your business life. Find a partner that faces those same standards.

2 – Shared Philosophy
Your customers come first. Your team members are your biggest asset.
Your business partners should have the same internal and external philosophy.

3 - Stability
Your partner needs to be a stable organization. You need a company with a history of proven success. You need someone who has been “around the block a few times”.
