In my last post, I discussed the importance of partnering. 💁♀️ Now, let me show you how it worked for us with a real example. We discovered a #Solidity project through our network that required specialized EVM expertise beyond our scope. Recognizing the need for collaboration, we tapped into our technological partners. 👨💻 In the #ITcommunity, having a strong network is an advantage. Thanks to our connections, we passed the project to a partner company. The outcome? The client got a skilled contractor, the company gained a new client, and we earned a nice bonus as intermediaries. The power of communities and #networking is an effective tool in attracting opportunities. Make the most of it. 😎 #winwin
