Closing a strategic partnership takes months. It's not a simple sale. **Jestor Kanban** helps the Business Development (BizDev) team visualize where each negotiation stands: "First Contact," "NDA Signed," "Model Definition," "Contract."

### **Negotiation Memory**

Partnerships involve many meetings. Log each call in the card comments. If the partnership manager leaves the company, the history stays there, and the deal doesn't die.

### **Follow-up Reminders**

Partnerships go cold fast. Configure Kanban to warn if a card sits in "Negotiation" for more than 15 days. Time to call.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Different from Sales CRM?** Yes. Sales is volume and speed. Partnerships are few, high value, and long-term. The process is different and needs a separate Kanban.

**Can I store the contract?** Yes. The partnership contract draft is attached to the card for legal review.

**Does it work for Influencers?** Yes, to manage long-term contract negotiations with brand ambassadors.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor Kanban**, you close better partnerships because you track every detail of the negotiation.
