SECRET ONLINE STRATEGY #5
A Recommended Joint Venture Method
It’s unbelievably obvious. Well… maybe not at first…
Look at just about any major company or successful entrepreneur and if you follow them long enough you will start to notice a trend. That’s right, they work with other people~! (or companies)
In business this is called a joint venture, partnership or merger.
Look at the Joint Venture Between Harley-Davidson and Chevrolet. Harley puts it’s logo on Chevy Trucks and they both get exposure. Harley owners are now drawn to Chevys for their preferred truck of choice and Harley gets even more exposure.
This can be defined as a Joint Venture, an undertaking using combined forces of 2 individual parties.
This technique was used in war since the beginning of time. Small countries would find allies, usually with big countries and be able to defeat much larger armies.
The same technique is applied in business and the sooner you learn to start implementing this method the faster your business will grow, the more money you’ll make and the more free time you’ll have!
OK. “So how do I get started?” you ask.
Rule #1 Suck it up…and just do it.
The best way to get good at anything is to give it your best shot and learn from your mistakes. I generally approach the “seemingly most unreachable people” in the field I’m seeking a joint venture for. You may get a lot of “no” answers but that’s OK. Once you get the “NOs” you can move on and keep working your way towards new potential partners. Sometimes all you need is one yes.
Rule #2
Make sure your offer is win-win
Before you ask anyone for their help make sure you are offering your own as much as possible. Compliments, recommended improvements and friendly critical feedback can all help to win a new partner. Here’s a secret…testimonials don’t hurt either. The more you freely give your enjoyment of products and services related to your field of business the more likely that generous attitude will come back to you when you need a favor!
Rule #3
Your best bet is to get referred to your target partner by someone they know better than you. This is the trick finding your ultimate partner fast.
If you are in the internet marketing field a new community was recently released that can make finding Joint Ventures a breeze.
