I use to often wonder the same thing about linking up with another provider.My thoughts were that if approached correctly with a mature entrepreneurial mindset, the benefits to teaming up or interacting with another provider would prove to be productive.
Think about it,there's really not a lot of people of people in this world who understand,nor respect our job as providers.So to have someone like minded would be great.
I recently had a top provider reach out to me about teaming up together for a tour.To sat the least we are both guarded,as to be expected, and having had been independent providers working alone for so long,exposed our differences in the way we work and operate our business individually,as well as exposed some errors in my system of doing business that she have been in the business longer than I,was able to help me see.We were able to put our brains together and integrate smarter ways of conducting businesses and ways to improve our imaging and brand...Unfortunately we also learned how discriminative hotel staffs can be when they see two beautiful friends simply hanging out in their upscale establishmemt (a whole other story).But just there's good and bad that comes with working with another provider.It's tricky bc you have to fid someone who complements your style of business,someone who together you both can go to the net level and eventually exit the business.
Overall the meeting went well.We don't contact one another much.We keep our communication simple and sweet.We have a photo shoot scheduled toget her soon and hopefully our tour will go well.

Ladies could put their insecurities aside! Unfortunately most I've met were either BSC or too insecure. Their need to be the center of attention and competitiveness made even being acquaintances impossible. Though I do have some funny stories haha.
I guess I'm lucky that someone I met in the very beginning turned out to be a friend and I've since met one other. It great to have someone to talk to and a "co-worker" to cover you if needed.
I think both ladies being confident in what they have going on is key. You have to see them as back up, not competition. Too often I hear stories of ladies bringing a "friend" in for a double and that person going behind their back after their clients.
After all, variety is the spice of life, we are all awesome in our own way and there is plenty to go around.
