What is JBP?
JBP stands for Joint Business Planning. It's like share business planning, JBP is building winning relationships that benefit both suppliers as well as sellers and improve the good experience for consumers through clear insights.
Basically, JBP is an alignment process between the goods suppliers and sellers that produce breakthrough business plans. The main objective of JBP is to set the alignment of goals and some action plans between the two collaborative parties.
For sellers and suppliers, having a JBP can produce a win-win strategy in growing sales. An effective joint business plan allows suppliers to build stronger relationships with their sellar so both partners can mutually support and take benefit from each other.
When a seller and supplier understand each other's needs and agree on common objectives, they can share insights to support each other and that helps to improve sales, product growth, and processes.
Benefits of JBP
Some benefits that actually helpful while using the JBP model can be not only financial but educational as well.
Alignment: JBP being aligned on objectives creates clarity on all other areas of the business for both partners. Agreeing on the same goals, no matter how and when they are calculated, keeps both seller and supplier accountable and benefits both to meet expectations.
Exposure: Partnering with another business can bring new consumers and a new platform. In a simple seller/supplier JBP, the seller can sell the supplier’s product to its potential shoppers. At the same time, shoppers loyal to the supplier’s product can be visited the seller's eCommerce store for the first time.
ROI: By partnering with another business with a common goal, the benefits above will provide a better return on investments for both parties when the plan is executed correctly.
