The Importance of Building Strong Relationships in the Cannabis Industry.

The saying “your network is your net worth” is more than just a cliche. In today’s Cannabis Market, strong relationships can be the difference between success and failure. The best way to find those partnerships and collaborations is to have a strong network of contacts.

Why is building strong relationships so important in the cannabis industry? Well, for starters, the industry is still pretty new and constantly changing. That means you need to be able to adapt quickly and work collaboratively with others to stay ahead of the curve. Supply and demand in each market can change abruptly, and supply chain partnerships can give an edge on securing wholesale products/ biomass for your production or retail needs. Retail or Delivery service relationships can help stock your product on their shelves, and assist in marketing opportunities for your brand. As regulations can be tough to navigate, having a network of trusted partners can make all the difference when it comes to compliance questions and best practices. The path towards building symbiotic relationships in the space can take work, but more and more Cannabis businesses are relying on partnerships and collaborations to stand out and operate more effectively.

If you’re already in the industry, you already know that it’s a challenging space. There are so many regulations to keep up with, and a myriad of obstacles to overcome. But despite all the hurdles, it’s an incredibly exciting time and there are still so many opportunities to make your mark and build something that truly matters. 

When you’re building these relationships, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. First and foremost, you need to be patient. It takes time and effort to build trust and rapport with others in the space. But if you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll find that it’s worth it in the long run.

Another key factor is communication. In any relationship, communication is key. Keep your partners up to date on what’s going on in your business, and be open to their feedback and suggestions. This will help you build a stronger, more reliable network that can weather any storm.

Finally, be generous. Share your knowledge and expertise with others in the industry, and be willing to lend a helping hand when you can. By doing so, you’ll not only create stronger relationships, but you’ll also help lift up the industry around you and make it a more positive and better ecosystem to operate in. By being a supportive and collaborative partner, you will learn the best partners will do the same.

But beyond just practical considerations, building relationships in the cannabis industry can also be incredibly fulfilling. This is a community of people who are passionate about what they do and are working to build something truly special. By being a part of that community and contributing to its growth, you’ll not only help yourself succeed, but you’ll also be making a difference in the world.

So, whether you’re a grower, a dispensary owner, product manufacturer, or a consultant like myself, remember that relationships matter. Take the time to get to know others in the industry, be patient, communicate openly, remember to thank those who support you, and be generous with your time and expertise. If you do these things consistently, you’ll find that the rewards are well worth the effort. Let’s build something great together, and assist in one another’s growth!
