Aligning interests

Aligning interests

“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”

- Henry Ford

Aligning interests is like a superpower. Proper incentives drive people to act in mutually beneficial ways without burdensome rules or micromanagement. Alignment makes everyone better off by shifting the focus from the individual good to the collective good.

At Run The Day, we pride ourselves on being economically aligned with our customers. There is no up front cost to use the Run The Day platform, so we only make money when our customer’s events make money. This forces us to put our money where our mouth is. We can’t just talk the talk, our product needs to walk the walk.

We believe this makes us better. It keeps us accountable and forces us to constantly improve. It also requires us to be thoughtful about the people, organizations and events who we partner with since we have little to gain from a short term relationship.

Plus, by aligning with races it allows us to grow together and winning is more fun when it is shared.
