I'm considering partnering with another wedding planner — how do we fairly split events and fees?

i'm a wedding planner, 8 years. another planner said, 'we're targeting the same market, let's partner up.' we both do 4 events/month totaling 8 but with a partnership we could actually hit 16 events, but how will the fees be split, who plans what?

If client satisfaction is the priority, you might find clients willing to pay a bit more. But it takes patience.

Stats: Hiring staff bumps costs by 40%, but output can go up 60%. Net gain: +20%.

This is a classic industry problem. Solution: Tell the client the 'real date.' Then keep your patience.

Quick fix: measure capacity (how many per day), calculate costs raise prices. Done.

Quick summary for newcomers: If IP assignment to the company isn't written from the start, it can't be collected later.

There are three things to check when doing this. The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

Thanks for writing this, that's the right way. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. Partnership isn't a decision to make without working together first.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Thanks for posting. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

Correct in theory but it doesn't work that way in practice. When you try to change everything at once nothing settles.

Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

My perspective changed after experiencing that. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

Correct in theory but it doesn't work that way in practice. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

There's a common mistake people make when doing this. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

Proven by experience.
