Objective: Secure 30-40 new partnerships by ensuring that contracts are signed and licensing revenue is fully secured by February 28, 2025. This will involve finalizing negotiations, signing agreements, and ensuring that all necessary payments for licensing are completed, meeting the revenue targets.
Action Plan for Securing 30-40 New Partnerships
1. Finalize Contract Terms (By February 5)
- Review Drafts: Ensure that all partnership agreements are reviewed, finalized, and ready for signature by February 5. These drafts should be aligned with the negotiated terms, including:
- Licensing fees and royalty structure.
- Support and training provisions.
- Curriculum integration details.
- Payment schedules and milestones.
- Legal Review: Work closely with the legal team to ensure that all agreements are compliant with relevant laws and regulations.
2. Engage Decision-Makers (By February 10)
- Schedule Final Negotiation Meetings: Set up final discussions with key decision-makers at the schools. This will include:
- Reaffirming the value of SayPro’s resources.
- Finalizing terms.
- Clarifying any last-minute questions or concerns.
- Key Messaging for Final Discussions: Reinforce the mutual benefits, emphasizing:
- Long-term partnership opportunities.
- Tailored curriculum enhancements.
- Ongoing support and teacher training.
- Clear, transparent terms to foster trust.
3. Secure Signed Agreements (By February 15)
- Signature Collection: Aim to have the first batch of signed agreements (10-15 schools) completed by February 15. Use electronic signature platforms like DocuSign to streamline the process.
- Check-in and Confirm: Ensure that all paperwork is signed and that the schools have received copies of their signed agreements for their records.
- Track Agreement Status: Use a CRM system to track the status of each agreement—whether it’s in the negotiation, review, or signing phase. Monitor progress regularly to ensure deadlines are met.
4. Finalizing Licensing Revenue (By February 20)
- Payment Scheduling: For each signed partnership, confirm the licensing fees and revenue terms. Establish clear payment milestones (e.g., upfront payments, installment payments, etc.).
- Revenue Tracking: Ensure that at least $65,000 in licensing revenue is secured through these agreements. Track the payments using financial tools or spreadsheets.
- Invoice Generation: Issue invoices for the licensing fees as soon as contracts are signed. Ensure the invoicing process is streamlined to avoid delays.
- Revenue Verification: Ensure that schools are processing payments in line with the agreement, and follow up promptly with any schools that have delayed payments.
5. Close Remaining Partnerships (By February 28)
- Sign Last Agreements: Ensure that the remaining 15-20 schools sign agreements by February 28.
- Collect Licensing Fees: Ensure that the final payments for licensing are completed by the end of February. Confirm that all payments are received and documented.
6. Post-Signing Actions
- Onboarding and Training: As schools sign agreements and make payments, initiate the onboarding process:
- Send training materials.
- Schedule teacher training sessions.
- Coordinate with schools to ensure a smooth implementation of SayPro’s resources into their curricula.
- Relationship Management: Maintain strong communication with schools after agreements are signed to ensure a long-term, productive relationship.
