Are You Giving An Inspired Performance in Your Joint Venture?

January 20, 2010 by Christian · Comments Off 

We all want to perform better. Our jobs, our personal life, our marriages – all this and more require our full attention and focus in order to be successful.

With so many areas of our life pulling at our focus, how can we maintain a consistent and outstanding effort with a joint venture? Doesn’t your JV require your full effort as well? However, sometimes we lose sight and forget why we formed a JV in the first place: to make money and be more successful in business.

Evaluate Your Feelings

You can improve your JV efforts. If you have felt any of the following in regard to your JV, then you are not realizing your full potential, or are unaware of the full potential you can give to making your JV a success:

  • Over stressed
  • Health challenges
  • Feeling of futility
  • Imbalanced
  • Isolated

Here are three simple things you can do to leveraging your highest effort and give an inspired performance in your JV.

Create a Compelling Vision

What was the reason you formed your joint venture? To make more money? To gain additional business contacts? To tap into an underdeveloped market segment? You need to go back and look at your JV documents and business plan. What is the purpose? If you just review your vision, you can get back to the place that made it exciting.

Don’t have a vision written down? Now’s the time to do so or improve on what you already have. A vision needs to be compelling. “Make more money” is not a compelling vision. “Earn six figures in the next fiscal year with a global marketing effort” is more like it. Make sure your JV vision is compelling enough that it gets you excited every day.

Tackle Challenging Situations

One thing that can really get you down is dealing with tough situations. However, haven’t you felt great and gained a sense of accomplishment when you last tackled and overcame a challenge?

Don’t let tough situations get the best of you. You can feel inspired when you succeed. Approach challenging situations with a goal to tackle one small thing at a time. Break it down into smaller steps. Then check off one step at a time and soon you realize the overwhelming situation is manageable. And always remember to give yourself a pat on the back with a small reward when you complete a challenge.

Tap into Your Creative Abilities

Nothing gives a more inspired performance than when you are creative and productive.  Practice brainstorming more often. Lay out multiple scenarios and solutions to a problem. Give yourself permission to come up with seemingly crazy ideas. That is where you find yourself thinking outside the proverbial box – when you allow yourself to think of innovative and creative solutions outside the norm.

Sometimes you just need to breathe life back into your JV performance. Don’t let yourself get a stale attitude toward your joint venture. Remember what you’re working for. Get that sense of accomplishment. And allow yourself to be creative. You and your JV partner will be thankful for it.

Give Your Joint Venture Customers A Reason To Buy

October 30, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

Have you formed a joint venture and experienced less-than-stellar sales compared to your expectations? Usually two or more entrepreneurs or business owners partner up to form a JV with the full intention of making more profit. However, the problem may be in the marketing of your JV product or service. Simply putting a product on the market doesn’t necessarily convince a potential buyer to make a purchase. That’s why you need to use marketing psychology to give your potential customers a reason to choose your product.

Triggering Psychology for Sales

Picture this situation: I recently was at the grocery store standing before an aisle full of different brands of green beans. There must have been 10 or more options, all with different price and packaging. As I stood there scratching my head trying to determine which can would have the best tasting green beans, I found one brand with a simple marketing line: “Picked fresh from local farmers and canned the same day for freshness”.  I remember picking greens beans fresh from my grandma’s garden when I was a kid and enjoying a tasty meal that same evening. I chose that brand because I wanted the same kind of freshness, despite the fact it cost 20% more than the basic generic brand.

This example illustrates why your JV product must differentiate itself from the competition. Consumers are indecisive. Help guide their choice by giving them a reason to buy your JV product. It doesn’t even have to be a proverbial grocery list of reasons. But simply highlighting a few simple benefits can help solidify a consumer’s decision.

Reasons Your Customers Buy

Here is a small list that is by no means complete regarding why your customers buy.

  • Price – Some people will always base a decision on price. However, that doesn’t mean your product has to be the cheapest. You could promote that your product costs less than the leading competitor. Or you could charge a premium, but give a good reason why your JV product is worth it.
  • Quality – Consumers like quality. Be sure that your product is manufactured or produced using quality and durable materials. Or if you offer a service, make it the best quality service and be sure to explain why it’s better than the other company.
  • Innovation – Something new always attracts customers. Highlight how your JV product is innovative and can solve their problems better than standard products seen on the market today.
  • Warranty/Guaranty – People also like to know that you will stand behind what you sell. Offering a warranty on a product or guarantying satisfaction can provide them with the impetus needed to buy your product.

Make sure your JV product or service stands out from the crowd. If you want to see your profits expand, then take the time to provide the reasons why customers should buy your product.

Follow Wal-Mart’s Joint Venture Example

October 21, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur who wants to find a way to increase sales and enter new business arenas, a joint venture is a great way to break into new horizons. An entrepreneur with savvy business acumen can research, find, and negotiate a JV deal with another business that can help achieve new business goals. And a few lessons from the world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart, may be helpful in finding creative JVs that will help expand your business.

How Wal-Mart Entered India with a JV

In 2009, Wal-Mart started doing business in India for the first time. However, the Indian Wal-Mart is not the typical Wal-Mart retail superstores you see in most every small, medium, and large city in America. Rather, the retail giant formed a joint venture in 2006 with Bharti Enterprises, Inc., one of India’s leading business groups.

For the last three years, they have found a way to do business in India that complies with the strict government foreign-business investment restrictions and does not compete with domestic retailers. Rather than be an everyday retail store, the new Indian Wal-Mart is a wholesale business catering to the specific needs of vegetable vendors, hospitals, restaurants, and hotels, operating under the name BestPrice Modern Wholesale.

Wal-Mart is a world leader in consumer marketing and product logistics. Even you can take lessons from Wal-Mart’s India presence. Here’s how:

Find The Right JV Partner

First, Wal-Mart had to find a retail leader in India with a good reputation. Through their combined efforts, Wal-Mart and Bharti Enterprises were able to form a working business entity.

Your efforts to find the best JV partner with a high reputation for quality and service are vital. If your goal is to enter new markets and larger market segments, a JV with another reputable business can aid your efforts to succeed quickly and more efficiently.

Jostle Your Paradigm

Wal-Mart is known worldwide for its large retail stores with low prices on popular consumer products. However, that paradigm would not work in India due to strict government non-competing laws on foreign businesses. Therefore, a new wholesale business paradigm was designed to help Wal-Mart play into the non-retail sector of India’s business economy.

Your JV entity and structure may need to change the way it normally does business. If you’re a retailer, you may need to work wholesale only. If you provide consumer services, you may need to change to a business-to-business format for your JV to succeed. Stay open to business paradigm changes.

Beat Competition Through Stealth

Of course, India is familiar with the Wal-Mart name, and it has a large controversy as a foreign business trying to steal customers from local retailers. Thus, along with changing to wholesale business, they changed their name to BestPrice Modern Wholesale.

If you are looking to beat competition, you and your JV partner can work under a new business name and entity that can succeed at penetrating a higher market share. Of course, this requires market research and marketing strategies so make sure to carefully evaluate this decision.

Your next JV may be the right formula to thrust your business into new heights. With the right JV partner and strategies, you can find ways to make your business work in new areas that were previously impenetrable.

How You Can Improve Your Well-Being with a Joint Venture

October 21, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

When was the last time you made a bad decision? Perhaps it was just this morning when you decided to skip breakfast. Your decision to skip the most important meal of the day was a personal one, which only affected you. However, what if your decision had an impact on your joint venture or your JV partner? If you didn’t fuel up properly and your body and mind did not function at its highest level, could you be on a path to making more bad decisions that affect the success of your JV? It’s possible. That’s why simply becoming a member of a JV can help you make better decisions and improve your well-being.

Responsibility of Human Cooperation

Psychological studies have shown that when individuals act only for themselves, they tend to make decisions based almost solely on emotion. A key factor in a successful JV is cooperation, which requires each partner to focus not only on his own needs and wants, but his partner’s as well. When someone else may be affected by a decision, we as humans tend to act more rationally, rather than seek to maximize our own benefits.

What this says is that your involvement with a JV can help you make better decisions when someone else’s well-being is also at stake. The power of cooperation is the leverage needed to get group members to contribute their highest efforts for the collective benefit of the group.

Improvement of Information Processing Capabilities

As mentioned, when you make decisions that may have an impact on others, you will tend to be more rational. We as humans are emotional creatures. And emotions can sometimes lead to irrational behavior, especially when it comes to competing with others for resources.

However, if you pool resources and share in a common goal with a joint venture partner, you will tend to take in more information and process the information more thoroughly on a non-competitive level. In essence, your shared culture develops a better processing system for mutual benefit.

Better Behavior Makes a Better Person

Cooperation for mutual advantage is evidenced in basic society. We have developed societal regulators who help make the laws that benefit society as a whole and have enforcers who make sure that no one benefits at another’s expense. This is the entire basis for the term “civilization”. We have become better people and improved society by not remaining barbaric or savage in nature.

The same goes for you as an individual. You can improve your personal emotional and cognitive maturity with the decisions you make for the benefit of your JV. Your financial situation can improve with the pooling of resources and cooperation you get with your JV partner. In addition, you will feel more compassion and enter a more rational psychological state when you know that your decisions are benefiting both you and someone else. So go ahead, have that bagel and make better decisions today.

Accounting for Your Joint Venture

October 20, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

You have spent much of your precious time researching potential joint venture partners, making proposals, and finally making a JV agreement that excites both you and your new JV partner. However, once your new business process begins, you and your partner need to agree to an accurate bookkeeping process that one or both of you will need to attend.

Accounting for joint ventures is just the same as for any other business. Revenues and expenses must be accounted for, and statements must be prepared to help in making future business decisions for the JV. The only difference is the process. However, it’s important to provide each partner with a complete reporting of all JV related accounting transactions.

Separate Joint Accounting System

The business model you choose for your JV may predetermine your accounting process. If you and your JV partner have agreed to form a separate entity such as a corporation, LLC, or Limited Partnership, you will need to create a separate bookkeeping system for that entity. This is important not only for profit sharing purposes, but for government reporting for tax purposes as well.

Separate Ledger Account

In many cases, a simple joint venture is created between two business owners and the accounting system can be assimilated into one or both owners’ existing systems. For instance, if your JV is the type that simply cross promotes each others’ business, or sells a package deal of both your products, you can simply keep track of the income and expenses related to the JV in your own accounting system, and share the results with your JV partner at the end of each month.

To do this, you can create two separate temporary accrual ledger accounts called “Joint Venture With X Income” and “Joint Venture With X Expenses”. Within these ledger accounts, you can record all purchases you make on behalf of the joint venture, and record the income you receive from related sales.

At the end of each month or fiscal quarter, you can make adjusting entries to close these accounts. For instance, if you have agreed to split profits 50/50, simply make two closing entries in the “Income” account, one with half the amount going out in a cash transaction to your JV partner, and the other half going to your own sales ledger account. Expenses can be closed the same way.

What Type of Accounting System?

Most businesses use an automated accounting system via computer software. Popular software packages such as Peachtree or QuickBooks offer easy accounting processes and user-friendly ways to create new accounts and even new entities for complete and separate JV bookkeeping.

You could also use a spreadsheet application such as the popular MS Excel to keep track of expenses and revenues. A spreadsheet will allow you to easily make charts and graphs.

However, don’t forget about the age-old handwritten ledger book. If your joint venture is a simple cross-promotional type of agreement, the way to keep track of bookkeeping may be to simply make manual entries in a ledger book. This method has worked for thousands of years and you can make it work for you too.

Accounting is important for the financial reporting of a JV business. Keep in mind accounting methods when you form your joint venture entity, and make sure you have a way to keep each JV partner fully informed of all financial transactions.

Why a Joint Venture Can Jump Start Your Online Business

October 5, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

In today’s current economic climate, many new entrepreneurs are foregoing the pavement pounding in lieu of starting an online business. Starting and running a website that offers helpful services to others can lead to steady income and even great riches. But unfortunately, most new online businesses fail. Why? They didn’t attract and keep the amounts of traffic needed to grow and sustain growth. However, if you are currently running a new online business, you may wish to consider online joint ventures to spur your growth.

An online business has a practically unlimited amount of potential customers. Anyone around the world with a computer and a modem can access your website. For some successful online businesses, they have tapped into a good portion of that market and have millions of customers and/or subscribers. But did they do it alone? Not likely.

The only way to access so many Internet users is to get the word out about your online business. And online joint ventures can do just that. Here are some of the ways that have made prominent online businesses successful:

  • Affiliate Program – Find other online businesses that are successful and drive a lot of traffic. Talk with the website owner about joining together with an affiliate program. As an affiliate, they agree to market your website and product with a special link. Any time that a visitor clicks that link and buys your online product, service, or subscription, then the affiliate receives a portion of that sale. Usually about 50% is the norm for affiliate profit sharing. But with potentially hundreds of affiliates, that could translate into thousands of new customers for you.
  • Database Sharing – Your website depends upon getting information to customers and potential customers. However, you do not have the numbers of subscribers you need to grow and build a huge online empire. Try a joint venture with other website owners who have large databases of customers. Perhaps for promoting their website or marketing their product, you can ask for access to their databases to help build your customer contact list.
  • Reputation Building – The little guy always struggles to get noticed and respected. But if you are worthy enough, try forming a joint venture with another online website that has the popularity and reputation for delivering quality. Simply by being associated with a reputable website, you automatically gain respect and an endorsement as well.
  • Co-Authoring – Is another website owner popular for providing helpful and useful information? Try to form a joint venture where you can both co-author an online brochure or guide for your customers. He gets exposure for his website and you get a great endorsement from someone who is known to deliver quality.

Online businesses have proven that they can thrive in a weak economy. It’s important, however, that an online entrepreneur not try to go it alone. Seek the proper joint ventures and watch your traffic and sales grow.

How To Market Your New Joint Venture

October 2, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

For many entrepreneurs who wish to dive into the joint venture arena, getting the first partner is the hardest part. But once you have found a suitable and enthusiastic partner and performed all the proper paperwork, how do you take your newly formed JV and advertise it to the masses?

A great JV idea is like an acorn: it is unfilled potential until it is planted, watered, and finally grows into a new and majestic oak tree. The next step in getting the word out about your JV is to plant that seed and give it some water.

Here are some ideas that can get your JV information to new customers and clients:

Blogs – Form a blog with your JV partner. You can start a blog for free. You and your JV partner can trade writing short blog posts that promote your JV business. Also, get a following from other blogs to get traffic to yours. You might also ask about writing guest blog posts for other blogs to help promote your JV.

Articles – There are many websites that want your articles. Some will even pay you.  Write informative articles related to your industry and JV to publish throughout the web.

eZines
– Many websites specialize in subscription ezines. In addition, many online businesses create their own ezine for their customer database. Talk with one of these about writing a helpful article for their ezine and get your business noticed by their customers.

Website
– Don’t forget about the possibility of a separate website for your new JV. It can simply be a well designed website that is search engine optimized (SEO) and provides information to potential customers. Or you may go full speed with Flash animation and an online shopping cart to sell more business.

Press Release
- A well-written press release to local or regional media can help get the word out about your new JV. Especially if either you or your JV partner has a prominent role in the region to begin with, a joint venture can pique a reporter’s interest to write a more detailed interview.

Email
- The nice aspect about forming a JV is that you already have two established businesses with marketing lists.  Join up your databases and send out a promotional email to your joint customers about your new JV. Offer special deals to get them to try your new JV product or service.

Advertise
– Don’t forget the traditional route of promotion – advertising. Create ads for print, radio, TV, and even online advertising such as pay per click or pay per call. Research the best venues for your target market and spend the money to promote your new JV. Remember, you are splitting the costs, making advertising more affordable to both parties.

Your newly formed JV doesn’t have to sit stagnant while you try and build a new customer base. Take the initiative and get the word out about your new JV business.

Increase Your JV Profits by Paying For Advertising Results

September 30, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

How would you like to save money on advertising AND make more money? Your joint venture is a business vehicle that lives or dies by the bottom line. Doesn’t it make sense to use win-win methods that help your JV grow and become profitable? That’s why results-based advertising can help your JV increase sales while reducing your marketing budget.

Why pay for advertising when you get zero sales and no quantifiable leads? It ends up becoming wasted advertising, wasted money lost forever. “Results-based” means you only pay when you see results. It puts you at less risk to waste money, and your advertisers end up making more money than a set, pre-determined fee.

Results-Based Advertising

Your advertising budget can get inflated quickly. Print, radio, and TV ads can add up to tens of thousands of dollars in a short time. What you need is a method that helps retain dollars in your bank account until you are able to attract and convert leads from advertisements.

Pay Per Click
- The Internet has become one of the most-used advertising systems in the world. Pay per click advertising uses prominent search engines to get your JV business on top of search results for specific keywords and phrases. You simply make a bid on certain keywords for which your ad should appear. And when a user clicks on your paid sponsor link to your Internet landing page, only then do you pay for the advertising. This system is easy and can generate thousands, or depending on the keyword, even millions of potential leads.

Pay Per Call – Similar to pay per click, this system provides an actual phone number rather than a website link in the paid ad. When a user makes a search and finds your ad, they call your JV business directly for more information. Your telephone sales staff then has the opportunity to gather information about the customer/client, and formulate a sales pitch to meet their needs. Pay per call is more expensive than pay per click, but the sales conversion ratio is much better at 45 percent, compared to about 3 percent for pay per click.

Results-Based Advertising - During a recession, advertising space grows. Magazines, newspapers, TV stations all have trouble selling space and time when the economy is down. As a result, advertisers become motivated to sell space at a discount rather than lose money.

When you talk to advertisers about purchasing space or time on their platform, do you ask them whether they believe your JV business will see sales by advertising with them? And if the answer is “yes,” then you can progress to discussions of another type of joint venture with them.

Using a similar method from pay per click or pay per call, offer to pay the advertiser a pre-determined fee or commission only when a quantifiable lead comes to your JV business. You can set up the lead generation so that the advertiser can track them. With every lead that comes from their advertising space, you pay them a set fee. This could result in higher fees for the advertiser, while reducing your risk for ineffective advertising.

Make the most out of your precious marketing budget for your JV. Start utilizing a system that makes advertisers work for you with a focused, results-based advertising.  The results can be more profit for you and your advertisers.

Use Business Psychology to Help Your JV Succeed

September 21, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

Business psychology is one of the fastest-growing and exciting areas of business application. Major colleges and universities are creating undergraduate and graduate programs that deal specifically with business psychology. Business leaders in larger corporations are finding that business psychology helps their organizations perform more efficiently and run at optimum levels.

Business psychology can be a vital factor to the success of your joint venture since psychology plays a part in every person-to-person transaction you perform. Here are some of the important ways your JV can grow and succeed when you implement positive business psychology:

Relationship Building

Starting with your own JV partner, you must form, build, and maintain business relationships. Your relationship with your JV partner needs to be cooperative, progressive, and encourage creativity. You’re a team, and teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common goal.

  • Interpersonal skills - How do you communicate with people? Does your approach make others feel welcome and receptive, or chastised and put down? Interpersonal communication is a skill and sometimes needs to be learned, honed, and practiced. Learn to be able to communicate effectively with business partners, customers, and employees.
  • Build lasting relationships – Using your interpersonal skills along with your personality, you must build relationships in order for your JV to succeed. Talk to others. Make friends and acquaintances. Network. Even shy and introverted individuals can learn to use their strengths to build relationships that help their respective businesses succeed and be a pleasure to with whom to work.
  • Teamwork – Are you a team player? Or do you play by your own rules? If you want to build your JV business relationships, be prepared to leave your ego behind and contribute to the greater good of the team. It is important for every member of a team to contribute. And even if you are the leader, your job is to encourage that contribution from everyone and help them do their best, rather than an autocratic “do it my way” approach.

Networking

Whatever your JV business, networking will help you and your JV partner experience growth better than simply hanging out the proverbial shingle and advertising. People carry news to other people more effectively than any other method. Be sure you use positive business psychology and your relationship building techniques to help promote your JV through networking with other business owners, customers, and anyone who can potentially put in a good word about your business.

Professional Development

What about your own professional development? Take classes in business psychology, interpersonal skills, or even classes that can help you work through shyness. Many community colleges offer such classes usually at cheap tuition. Other for-profit companies offer professional development for reasonable prices. Take the time to develop your business psychological skills with your own personal development training program.

Business psychology, whether you recognize it or not, is employed continually around any business. Don’t let it work against you. Develop your business psychology skills so your JV can grow and prosper.

Relationship Marketing Through Joint Ventures

September 11, 2009 by Christian · Comments Off 

All business is about building relationships. Whether it is building relationships with partners, employees, customers, or vendors, everything successful about your business depends on the relationships you form. And it is no different with a joint venture.

Your JV is first and foremost a relationship with another business owner. You must build a bond with another individual who is successful in his or her own business. And the more successful you are with building that bond, the more likely that your common goal of making JV profits will become reality.

Relationships: How They Influence Joint Ventures

But what is the most important relationship element of a successful JV? Customers. Without customers, there are no sales, resulting in no (or negative) profit. That’s why it’s important for you and your JV partner to think about relationship building with your customers. You can do this from the first point of contact with relationship marketing.

Relationship marketing is a strategy where you and your partner acquire customers by forming a mutually beneficial relationship. You and the seller must focus on the value enhancement of selling a product to a customer. With an approach that steps outside the normal purchase and exchange process, you strive to make a purchase more meaningful to the customer.

With a personalized approach involving direct contact and a wholesome exchange experience, your customers will feel a more emotionally richer purchase experience. This way, you and your JV partner create an emotional tie with your customers, and they feel more satisfied with their exchange with you, and they will want to buy from you again.

Goals of Relationship Marketing

Relationship marketing creates strong bonds and builds a healthy customer base. With a relationship marketing approach, a JV should have two goals in mind:

  • Satisfaction – Relationship marketing relies upon the complete and total satisfaction of a customer. By providing quality goods and a holistic and personal selling strategy, each individual customer becomes relevant to the total customer base.
  • Retention – Relationship marketing is also focused on retention. By providing exemplary customer service and exceeding the customer’s expectations, they will want to do business with you again and again. It is human nature to do business and have contact with others who make us feel comfortable and offer a pleasant experience.

Without even conducting mass marketing to a wide target base, your relationship marketing approach can build your customer base even faster. Not only do you retain customers through relationship marketing, you gain more through word of mouth and referrals. Referral customer building can have a viral effect when friends tell their friends, and so on.

A joint venture with intentions of building upon existing customer bases should consider relationship marketing as a viable way to grow and expand business. When customers love the experience and want to spend money on your product or service, you have succeeded in your relationship marketing campaign.
