Episode 15 - Trade Partner Relationships

Описание: In this episode of The Stansell Blueprint, host Angelica Connor is joined by Chief Relationship Officer John Stege for a conversation that goes beyond our walls and directly to the partners who help make our work possible. For the first time, we’re sharing this discussion with both our internal team and our trade partners across the country.

What You’ll Hear:
Why we say “trade partners,” not subcontractors – because true success is built on collaboration, loyalty, and trust.
Consistency matters – from showing up prepared to respecting schedules, every interaction shapes our reputation and results.
The role of communication – tone, clarity, and honesty can either build trust or break it. Over-communication beats last-minute surprises every time.
Balancing accountability and respect – using clear leadership while treating each other with professionalism and dignity.
Simple but powerful reminders – don’t be a jerk, build people up, and remember that relationships take ongoing effort.

The Takeaway:
Strong partnerships don’t just happen — they’re built intentionally. Whether you’re part of our team or one of our valued trade partners, we can only achieve great things when we’re aligned, respectful, and committed to working together.
