How to choose a digital growth partner, not just an order-taker

There is a real difference between an agency waiting for your instructions and one that says "this step is wrong, try this instead". That difference is a partner, not a vendor.

• Asks questions about the business before proposing a solution.
• Is willing to say "no" if a request will not achieve your real goal.
• Cares about the end result, not just executing the literal task requested.

A growth partner asks hard questions before executing. A vendor just executes what you say.
