How to implement a LBP in your LC?1. Structure your message in accordance with the Brand XP.2. Focus proposals on one or two benefits per partner3. Present involvement opportunities based on the AIESEC Brand XP benefits4. Create a calendar with all the information and actions that have to be done

regarding the partnership (incl. servicing/account management and events)

What do we need to do to make sure such a partnership is successful?Communication between the VPTM and VPER is essential!

The VPTM can provide an accurate picture of the current learning situation in the LCand what kind of knowledge, skills and behaviours will be useful for the members. Assuch, the VPTM can communicate this situation to the VPER to ensure a mutuallybeneficial partnership is established.

The partnership should be reviewed at least bi-annually to ensure that each partysneeds are being met and the partnership is still beneficial to both parties.
