Most important factor in creating a successful Joint Ventures
By Melanie Benson Strick | August 28th, 2008
It’s not what you know-it’s who you know. JV partners can provide the “who you know.”
The best part is once you put the JV partnerships together, if you treat them right, they’re with you forever. In fact, I’ve made deals with people where they regularly sell my product, simply because it is a good fit for their customer, and they care about their customers. The integrity and partnership with these professionals is unparalleled, and the possibilities are endless.
Here are a couple of things to get you thinking about JVs…
Millionaire Habit #2 to Transform your Life:
Drawing a blank?
You may be stalling in making connections as you don’t feel ready to do anything yet, to suggest a JV or even to make a deal or where to start.
Well good news: it doesn’t matter.
Simply, meet the right people, be yourself, help others and an opportunity will fall on your lap - you don’t have to create it yourself.
Someone may be doing business in way that inspires a new business model for you or product idea or way to gain exposure that you think is brilliant. Halleluiah!
Or
Someone may look at what you’re doing and see what you’re doing is so cool, they make 2 phone calls on your behalf and connect you to someone who wants you to be a columnist in a local paper or speak at a college - all this happened to me in 2 days of meeting 1 person.
It could happen to you.
My good friend Stephanie Hartman has created a unique club to help you find and create powerful joint ventures for your business.
And by the way this person IS someone inside the club. I paid her nothing for her help and my INSTANT credibility and exposure.
Remember I had NO AGENDA or plans or clue on who I would meet or how they could help me. My only plan was to show people the real me and what I am up too!
Through these meetings you will gain successful and fun friends, insight into what others are doing and you’ll begin to see new solutions and odors opening up for you that you were not aware of before.
It happens naturally so just keep up this habit and opportunities will literally fall in your lap.
Were you aware how powerful this strategy of simply is of connecting with the intention to show people who you are and discover who they are?
So let’s turn this powerful strategy into a SUCCESS HABIT for your business.
Here’s all you have to do:
Once a month (mark in calendar so you remember) Log into the club and mark all the virtual cocktail parties and brainstorming sessions into your personal calendar.
Then plan to show up for 10 mins, 20 mins or 60 minutes (whatever you can do) and showcase your expertise and who you are. You never know when a ‘new friend’ will be somewhere else and recommend you to a powerful contact or put you in front of your target market.
Do this so that you can showcase your expertise, make a bigger name for yourself, and get massive leads and clients, in addition to rubbing shoulders with some incredibly successful and all around fun, like-minded people.
Answer questions and brainstorm with others on the THINK TANK nights. Show them how brilliant you are and you’ll stand out to all those in the virtual room.
Have fun and just mingle on the cocktail party nights. Quick tip: ask questions of others and that way you find out about other people while they reciprocate and learn about you.
TIP: Use your web cam to maximize your ability to make an impression in the minds of others. Not only can they hear you - but they can see you as well. Many of us have visual memories.
Result: Opportunities and connections falling on your lap!
