BePartnerReady.com® enrolment is for one student only. If you have colleagues within the same organisation that would like to join you on the ride, you can sign them up for an additional $590 + GST per person.  They will receive their own login and password.  It’s preferable to sign up your colleague at the same time as registering, but we can allow a colleague to join later at our discretion (no later than 1 August)

No, sharing your login & password with a colleague or friend is not allowed.  If you do, your participation will be cancelled with no refund.  So, keep your login details safe.  If you would like to have a colleague join you along the journey, you can register them for just $590 + GST per person.

No, the program has been designed to support you as you work through each of the Modules and create a supportive community of students. You can go back at any time but it’s advisable to work through the program as designed – a module a month commencing June. 

It’s a 7-month program commencing June and ending in February. Your login and password will remain valid for a full year – so it will expire on 30 June 2025. At this point your login will be de-activated unless you choose to re-enrol. Enrolment for another year is a flat fee of $590 + GST per organisation. This will allow you & existing students to access the 2024 program, not the 2025 program. The T&C’s that you agreed to upon signing will remain active, which include - but not limited to - not sharing your login details with anyone else.

Yes, you can re-enrol for another year for a flat fee of $550 + GST per organisation. This will allow you to access the 2023 program, not the 2024 program. The T&C’s that you agreed to upon signing will remain active, which include - but not limited to - not sharing your login details with anyone else.

No, the extension is only for current students in the program.  If you do leave your organisation it’s best to let us know.

You and any of your colleagues that wish to enrol will be required to agree, and sign, your commitment to adhere to our Terms which include, but not limited to, not sharing your login & password and to not use any of the BePartnerReady.com® materials or templates for training, consultancy or commercial use. Read the terms 

Your organisation is obligated to ensure that the Intellectual Property (IP) contained within the program is protected and to inform us immediately if you, the student, leaves.

We recommend that you DO create a team to support you.  Any colleagues that join your team can work with you on your Module outputs, the work that you produce. They are NOT able to access the BePartnerReady.com® online program or materials unless they are a paid-up student.

If you’re unclear about this, check in with us about what is appropriate.  We want to protect our intellectual property from reaching people that do not understand the legal obligations that you and your organisation have entered, as this could inadvertently lead to breach of contract.   What we don’t want to do is restrict your colleagues from contributing to the production of each output.

No, sharing your login & password with a colleague or friend is not allowed.  If you do, your participation will be cancelled with no refund.  So, keep your login details safe.  If you would like to have a colleague join you along the journey, you can register them for just $590 + GST per person. 

Everyone works at a different pace however we estimate it’s a total of around 140 hours, or 20 hours a month over 7 months.

This program is designed for someone that intends to implement as well as secure partners, so intends to stay within the organisation for at least a year.  We also highly recommend a colleague join you along the journey, you can register them for just $590+ GST per person.  We know that life can be unpredictable so if for some reason you intend to leave, contact us immediately.  We will consider transferring your participation to a colleague however this is at our discretion.  For students that do not communicate and simply leave, your participation will be cancelled, your login & password de-activated without a refund.

If you wish to log into the program from a different computer or location, you must let us know immediately because your login is attached to an IP address and it may look as though your login and password have been compromised.  Try to work from the same computer to avoid being locked out but please let us know if you need to work from multiple devices.

Sure does! The program is optimised for mobile use, but if you switch between phone and computer, you must let us know because your log in is attached to an IP address and it may look as through your login and password have been compromised.  Try to work from the same computer to avoid being locked out.

Yes. You are not able to move ahead before completing the Module of the month and the evaluation form, as the program is designed to be implemented in the order of the program.  You must move forward in line with the program.  However, if you want to go back for any reason, we keep the prior Modules open for a year from your registration date. 

No. This is an online training program, therefore we do not know if you’ve completed all the course work to an acceptable standard. All students will receive a 'Certificate of Participation' in February, this will be emailed or a printed copy can be snail-mailed upon request. If you would like to receive a ‘Graduation Certificate’ you can request an assessment of your materials as the first step towards this. See the shop for this

There are seven modules of the BePartnerReady.com® program and each module is released at the beginning of the month, starting from June. 

We’ve seen students secure a partner at the first meeting and at other times it can take anywhere from 3-12 months!  It depends on the kind of company.  We explore this in the program and look at the different kinds of companies and which ones are slow-moving.  We provide numerous templates & techniques to help you get a partner across the line quickly – as well as move away from the time-wasting tyre-kickers.

Yes. On the surface sponsorship and partnership may appear to be similar – they both involve a corporate providing money & other benefits to a charity.  The model of how they engage is quite different though.  Sponsorship involves a company or brand investing directly into a program, event, program or campaign.  So, in effect the funding is TIED to that.  A partnership is more complex, multi-layered and therefore takes longer to secure.   The great thing about the BePartnerReady.com® program is that it will help you identify things that are  ‘sponsorable’ and support you to package up a sponsorship proposal as well as pitch to potential partners with a compelling offer.  It’s different so requires different Templates, but both are provided as part of the program.

As this is the first year, we’ve been unable to secure accreditation from bodies such as FIA or global accreditation program CFRE.  We are however in discussion with both of them.  The previous incarnation of the BePartnerReady.com® process– the HeartSmart® Toolkit – has been recognised by CFRE and contributed towards prior students’ gaining successful accreditation.

If you have colleagues in fundraising, marketing, social media, communications, business development, event management and income generation, they will make great Team members.  It is advisable to have a colleague go through the program with you (as a paid-up additional student) so that you can share the tasks and share the knowledge.

For those organisations that are deemed ready (according to our Readiness Q&A, scoring a ‘Green’ rating) we offer a BeHappy 100% Money Back Guarantee. Our hope is that you and your organisation will be radically transformed throughout the program of embracing AND IMPLEMENTING the BePartnerReady.com® process.  We also expect you to give it your 100% best effort, that’s what the 100% is – it’s a two-way street.  In order to apply for our BeHappy 100% money back guarantee you must 1) submit proof that you did the all the course work in accordance with our Guides, Module instructions & Templates within 12 months of registration and explain why you’re not Happy.  If you do the work - and implement within your organisation – all 7 Modules including pitching to at least 10 corporate prospects, and you’re still not happy with what the program has delivered, we’ll refund your fee, in FULL. Read the BeHappy Guarantee ‘fine print’ so that we’re on the same page here.

Each month there are Live Group Chats for students who are participating in the program, with Hailey, Georgia & BePartnerReady.com® specialist team members. If you have a specific or confidential query that requires a very quick answer email us and we’ll aim to respond as quickly as possible.  If the query is complex and requires a detailed and considered response, schedule a call with us via the shop. Consulting fees for Hailey are $250 an hour or $1,000 + GST for a whole day (6 hours) and for Georgia she is $125 an hour or $500 for a whole day (6 hours).

Midway through the program, you’ll be invited to become a member of our community via a subscription and this will give you access to more resources and access to Hailey & Georgia for Face-to-Face consulting and Pitch support.

No. It’s best for you to manage them or hire someone. We will provide a detailed Bonus Booklet & Templates on Managing Partners, however.

The only costs you will need to allow for are related to pitch work: design (of a professional PowerPoint pitch deck if required), video production/editing of existing footage (ideal but not a deal-breaker) and travel (flights/accom) when you start pitching. You will also need to find about $300 for a compelling mailing item, although most charities have something that can be used already.

In order to keep the investment for this program as low as possible, we have not included any consulting time in the investment. For any organisation that requires 1:1 assistance you’ll be asked to purchase time via the shop, as consulting time is not included in the program.  We recommend that you take time to read the materials and FAQs to ensure all your questions are answered before sending requests & questions.  Persistent requests from an organisation that are outside of the monthly Live Group Chats, will be directed to the shop to purchase time.

Every year we provide some probono support to the Scholarship winners. In 2023 these are Little Miracles Trust NZ and Frontier Services. 

BePartnerReady.com® co-founder Hailey Cavill-Jaspers created a process called HeartSmart® in 1995 when she began her company Cavill + Co.  Whilst she was building multi-million-dollar partnerships for her corporate clients –  AMP, Contiki, and SEEK to name a few – she simultaneously spent ten years teaching the process in masterclasses across Australia.  Her students got great results.

In 2006 Hailey developed the process into a modular training Toolkit called the HeartSmart® Toolkit and ran an immersive program for 12 years. 

The BePartnerReady.com® process is an evolved, streamlined & online version of HeartSmart® after 27 years of real-world practice and refinement. The HeartSmart® Toolkit is no longer available in a physical form.
