Has working together worked for you?

 Has anyone in permies successfully partnered with someone/group to help in selling?

I posted here about my issue with starting small:

One thought I had was trying to either hire/partner with someone to do the selling and create a business from the ground up.  

Thoughts?

I have never seen partnerships really work long term. At some point it seems one or the other feels they are working more than the other, or perhaps a spouse thinks their love is working more than the other. That throws things into a tailspin.

But I understand the concept. I love farming but marketing I am not so good at, so it would seem like the ideal partnership, but seldom works.

One thing too about farming to be careful of: a lot of agencies and people want to “help” farmers, but few actually want to do the work. Some even see the dream of farming as a way to scam budding farmers.

Beware

Partnerships can be tricky things.  I see more successful organizations clearly having one key person at the top …Wheaton Labs for example. Even when I ran an org nearly all service related contracted relationships had to be ended quickly.  I can only think of 2, and they died within a week and a month respectively.  The first I caught lying about their costs. The second wanted their contract rewritten within 30 days of originally signing it.the rewrite was absurd.
