How to Start Your First Partnership Brokering Deal in the Next 24 Hours

Even if you’ve never done a partnership deal before and you’re currently working for a company and you don’t have a product or service of your own, you can start the process to making a profit in less then 24 hours using partnership brokering techniques. If you do have your own product or service you can apply the same partnership brokering strategies.

You can start brokering deals for quick cash and turn that into residual, passive income, repeat the process and compound them into $1000’s a month. This is not a difficult process once you understand the core ideology behind partnership deals. I’ve used the technique many times to generate income to the tune of $500 to $2000 per hour when the deal has run its course.

Let me give you a real-life example that identifies this partnership brokering strategy.

I’ll give one of the easiest partnership strategies that I used back in 1999 to generate $700 for 1 hour of work. When I was working in an insurance company developing a quoting system for a large online insurance application I got the opportunity to work with with the IT Director, Ron, directly. I had been consulting on a technology project for about a year when the need for a particular project came up that was outside my scope of knowledge. It was a new technology that I knew about but was not able to directly deliver what was needed to complete the project. However, I did know of several people through my Asset Network (these are people that I know that have other skills, resources and knowledge outside of my own) that could deliver the needed skills for this upcoming project. One guy in particular who does this type of work full time who’s name was John.

Since I already had built a trusting relationship through the value I provided to the Insurance Company over the last year and I had positioned myself as a “Value Provider”, I made the suggestion to the IT Director that I had access to the needed skill set he was looking for. Now keep in mind I had set myself up from the beginning as a “Value Provider” and not just a single source consultant that could only provide value for the skills I was hired for.  At the time I positioned myself as a “Technology Value Provider” so when other projects would come up and a need for other skill sets would arise, I could be in the position to solve the problem. I told Ron I had a qualified person that specializes in the skill set he needed. He told me to setup a discovery meeting where all of us could meet and discuss the project. We had the meeting, Ron was satisfied with what John could provide so we setup a time line on the project, discussed the rates and decided to move forward.

Total time on this project was about an hour and my commission for recommending John, as a solution to Ron’s current problem, setting up and managing the process was $700. Not bad for thinking out of the box by recommending a solution that I couldn’t provide, but knew of someone who could. How could you apply this example to a person or company where you can position yourself as problem solver and earn a commission for your efforts?

So what are the take away points that you can use immediately to start creating partnership brokering income? Regardless of what your skill sets are, you should always position yourself as a “Value Provider” and not just pigeon hole yourself into thinking that you only have skills in X, Y and Z. Instead, position yourself as a business development consultant as every company is in search of new clients and someone who can solve business related problems. Once a company or person sees you as a problem solver and you can deliver on what you say you can do, you could have a client for life. That client will gladly pay you a commission; a one time payment or even an ongoing residual income for solving their business related problems through your combining, recommending and advising them with resources you have access to.

4 Steps to Becoming a Joint Venture Broker

Once you realize the profit potential waiting for successful joint ventures, you might decide that this field is the perfect place for you. Instead of simply capitalizing on a profitable partnership for your own business, you can create an entire company around helping others achieve the same success you have enjoyed.

This is the world of a JV broker, a professional who wheels and deals with various companies to form profitable partnerships between them. If this sounds like the perfect job for you, then these are the first four steps to take.

1.  Understand the Concept of Joint Ventures

A basic joint venture brings together two or more companies that potentially share the same customer base without directly competing with one another. The two businesses come together to share customer lists, advertising costs and a wealth of additional resources. The specific scope of a JV partnership will be directly dependent on what the two businesses hope to gain. Once you understand these basics, you are ready to enter the exciting and challenging world of a JV broker.

2.  Develop a Strong Network

Some JV brokers might specialize in a particular industry, while others will work with companies on a much broader scope. Whichever path you choose to take, you must begin networking with a wide range of businesses to ensure you can find the right matches in your database. JV brokers are masters at networking, whether online, over the phone or in person. They have a comprehensive knowledge of the businesses they work with, both in terms of the benefits they could provide and the needs they might have.

3.  Create a Workable List

Every time you network with a particular business, add them to your list of workable contacts. Make sure the companies you list are open to joint ventures with other businesses, ensuring they will be open to your proposals when the time comes to approach them. Keep your list of contacts in a usable form, whether you create a spreadsheet with all the necessary information or store them in a Rolodex. When you come across a new company interested in joint ventures, you can easily refer to your list to find the right match.

4.  Learn Basic Communication Skills

To turn businesses onto the idea of a joint venture, you must be able to explain precisely how these partnerships work and how each company benefits from the arrangement. You can even put your information into a written format that potential partners can download from your website or that you can distribute when you pay the company a visit.

As you work to educate your customer, educate yourself on what the customer hopes to achieve, so you are more likely to meet their needs through the partnership you arrange.

Once you have these basic steps under your belt, you are ready to venture into the world of JV brokering. With a robust network and plenty of basic information about joint ventures to offer, you are more likely to create successfully partnerships that will be successful for everyone involved, including you!

What is a Joint Venture Broker?

If you are just starting to navigate the world of joint ventures, you might be wondering if there is a professional who can walk you through the process, help you find a lucrative partner, and ensure your efforts are met with success.

The good news is that joint venture brokers are trained to provide all of these benefits and many more as well. Check out this article to find out what a joint venture broker does, and why this professional might be a boon to your own joint venture efforts.

Definition of a JV Broker

A joint venture broker is an individual who is specifically trained to help unite small businesses for the sole purpose of increasing profits. These brokers match up companies in a variety of niches that will work well together in a joint venture.

In addition to creating profitable matches, joint venture brokers might also offer support in marketing and principles that ensure your joint venture will be successful.

For small business owners who are completely new to the idea of joint ventures, brokers can be invaluable in providing the information, research and know-how necessary to set businesses up for marketing success.

Benefits of Working with a JV Broker

There are many reasons to consider hiring a JV broker when you decide it is time to combine resources with another company to maximize profits. First, JV brokers typically boast a large database of companies in a variety of industries that have expressed an interest in partnering with other businesses. A broker can offer you a joint venture with a business similar in size to your own or a much larger conglomerate looking for affiliates for a variety of purposes.

A joint venture broker does all the backend research and information gathering for you, so you can rest assured you partner with the best companies for your needs. Once your JV broker finds the best matches for your business, this professional can also oversee the negotiation process to ensure the partnership meets the needs of both companies involved.

An experienced broker offer tremendous value in terms of the time you save creating your own joint venture partnerships and the likelihood of success in matching up companies that are most apt to offer benefit to one another.

Paying for Service

Despite the obvious advantages joint venture brokers provide, many small business owners are hesitant to solicit their services because of the costs involved. However, most JV brokers do not require any money up front; instead, they negotiate a percentage of the joint venture profits as they are earned. This means you can reap all the advantages of a joint venture broker without affecting your bottom line to do so.

Joint venture brokers make the entire joint venture process easier to navigate. These professionals guide you through the joint venture process to ensure it works effectively for your company. When you are matched with the right businesses for your unique needs, your joint ventures are much more likely to be met with success, including a broader customer base and a more robust bottom line.

How to Nurture Trust in Your Joint Venture Partnership

Investing in a joint venture marketing partnership is a great way to build the trust of customers and increase your bottom-line overall. However, before you can nurture a relationship with customers, you must first build trust and confidence with your potential JV partners. This article will cover some of the best ways to build trust among the members of a JV partnership.

Building Trust in the Value of Your Business

If you are just beginning the process of establishing JV partnerships, you will need to start by demonstrating your authenticity and credibility to other companies. This can be done in a number of ways:

• Show customer testimonials that attest to the value, quality and honesty of your business.

• Obtain positive press coverage about your company and the products or services you offer.

• Show endorsements for your company that have come from other respected individuals in your field.

Even if you successfully demonstrate the legitimacy of your business, you may have to resort to offering a large amount of benefits to another company at first to offset the risk they are undertaking. This may include providing a significant portion of your profits in return for the advertising and endorsement you receive from your JV partners.

Building Trust between Partners

Once you have found potential joint venture partners who are interested in working with you, it’s important to build and maintain a professional and trusting relationship between partners. The techniques for nurturing your JV partnerships are the same used in building any type of professional relationship and include:

• Keeping your word, which means never making promises you aren’t sure you can keep

• Always telling the truth to partners, even if it isn’t something they want to hear

• Maintaining an air of confidentiality between you and your JV partners

• Keeping open lines of communication, so your partners never worry that you’re hiding something from them

• Always returning calls and emails promptly, so your partners know you are available and accessible to them

• Never talking about another company behind the back of the business owner, particularly when the information is negative or confidential in nature

By performing in a professional manner consistently, your prospective and current JV partners will come to know you as a business owner with integrity and honesty. The longer they work with you on this level, the easier it will be to trust you in all the business dealings the two of you are involved in.

A JV partnership is about much more than making a buck; it is about building professional relationships that will stand up against time. When your JV partners trust you, your business and your motives, you’re doing more than nurturing that particular relationship, you are establishing yourself and your company as one that others will be willing to work with thanks to your integrity, honesty and professionalism. A trustworthy business is one that is worth its weight in gold, and one that will continue to thrive in all sorts of economic climates.

3 Advertising Design Fundamentals for Joint Venture Marketers

You might have thought that securing a JV partnership with a bigger, more established company was all you needed to effectively build your business. However, the partnership is just the beginning. Once you have a company (or two or three) to work with, you need to develop an advertising strategy that will attract all those new customers to your business. These design strategies will start you on an advertising campaign that is sure to build your business.

Use of Color

The colors you choose for your JV ad campaign will evoke moods and emotions that will either inspire customers or turn them off completely. Here are a few of the basic colors and the reactions they tend to evoke:

• Red - Red is the color of passion, energy and power. This hue is a good choice to stimulate people to buy your product or service. Various shades of red can perform different functions, with lighter tints stimulating passion and darker hues evoking power and energy.

• Yellow - Bright and sunny, yellow is a good choice for products that make us feel warm and fuzzy, such as children’s items or leisure accessories. Keep your shade bright and fresh, even if you lighten the tint a bit. Yellow that becomes dull symbolizes dirt and decay, which are not the feelings that will get people to tune into your business.

• Blue – Blue is often a symbol of tranquility, but it can also stand for trust, reliability and wisdom. This is a good color if you want to build confidence in your company and the perfect choice for promoting cleanliness and precision.

• Green - The color of nature, green is often used to advertise products that are safe or friendly to the environment. Stick with shades like olive green, which signifies peace, or aqua green, a color of emotional healing.

Logo Design

In addition to the color of your advertisement, it is helpful to create a JV logo that will help customers recognize your company and your JV partner. Your logo can be used on all your promotional material, becoming a sort of corporate branding that builds your name recognition among the general public. Make your logo unique, yet something that customers will easily associate with your business.

Consistent Graphics

The appeal of your advertising will be in how professional it is conveyed. You can do much to kick your ads up a notch by proofing them for consistent fonts and colors. The theme of your ad should also be unified into a single purpose, whether it is to inform your customers about your product, create a need for the item, or sell your goods by evoking a certain mood.

The right advertising will make those JV efforts cash in big time, so don’t rush the process. Choose ads with the color, logo and graphics that exude professionalism and confidence in your business. You might be surprised at how many customers notice you because of your JV marketing but take the time to look further because of the quality of your advertising.

The Psychology Behind Consumer Decision Making

When you begin the JV marketing process, you want to know that your efforts will be successful. To ensure you get the biggest bang from your marketing buck, it is important to understand the decision making process that goes into nearly every purchase made.

Many psychologists and marketing gurus have spent countless hours researching and studying the reasons that consumers move from thinking about a purchase to actually taking out their wallets and putting money down. This article will give you a brief view of the decision making process to help you find the most effective methods for inspiring your potential customers to buy.

Recognizing a Need

Before customers spend their hard earned dollars, they have to see a need. This need can be known to the individual, or one that you can make known to them by showing them how a particular aspect of their lives can be easier or more convenient because of your product or service.

To make the need known, you need to think of your commodity from the customer’s point of view. Demonstrate both the problem and the solution you offer to make your product as compelling as possible.

Information and Alternatives

Many customers, once they recognize the need, will next undertake an extensive information gathering process to weigh their alternatives and choose the best solution for their needs. The amount of time that goes into the information gathering is often directly related to the value of the product. More expensive or complex products and services will usually merit a more involved research time. In the case of smaller products or a more urgent need, the customer may bypass this step in the decision-making process completely in favor of obtaining a solution to their need as quickly as possible.

The Purchase

Once the information has been perused and the alternatives thoroughly weighed, the purchase process will ensue. This step may or may not be in the accompaniment of a negotiation strategy, depending on the value of the item and whether it is customary to bargain for a better deal.

You can call a customer to action by carefully working through the previous steps with them and motivating them to make a purchase decision. Make the buying process as easy as possible, so your customer can get the item he wants without additional hassle or frustration.

The Post-Evaluation

If your customer has thoroughly gone through all of the steps above and has successfully met his need with your product, the post-evaluation process should go very smoothly. It is important to reiterate to your customer the benefits of your commodity at the time of purchase to lessen his feelings of doubt after the fact. This will continue to encourage your customer that he made a good purchase decision and make him more likely to buy from you again when another need arises.

JV marketing successfully brings customers to your business, but without the knowledge of how the purchase process works, your efforts may fall flat. By understanding how consumers make their decisions, you are more likely to close the initial sale and enjoy additional business from that customer in the future.

4 Tips for Approaching Joint Venture Partners

You know that JV marketing is a good way to build your customer base. You have even gone so far as to make a list of potential partners that could have a positive impact on your business. Now what? The next step is to approach some of those potential partners to see if you could move forward with a business relationship.

If your hands are getting clammy at the mere mention of professional networking and selling yourself to other businesses, you are not alone. Check out these four tips to approaching JV partners to make the process go as smoothly and successfully as possible.

Remain Professional

No matter how you contact your JV partners, whether it is by phone, email or traditional post, professionalism is something that should always be at the forefront of your mind. The written word should be formatted and composed in a business style, with the use of Mr. and Mrs. and common niceties like please and thank you littered throughout.

Do not be too obvious in your sales pitch; instead, outline your company, product and benefits of working with you clearly and succinctly. A potential partner will always appreciate your professionalism, even if the partnership does not work out.

Make it Personal

Templates, both in letters and emails, are never the way to get noticed. In fact, sending correspondence to total strangers is rarely going to elicit a response. This is where professional relationships come in very handy, and you can build those relationships through trade shows, conferences and other modes of professional networking.

Keep your business cards handy to exchange with the associates you meet at the venues. By making that personal connection first, you are more likely to inspire at least some consideration when you approach a business with a JV marketing proposal.

Show the Benefits

In a world of “what’s in it for me?” it is very important to show the benefits of working with you to any potential partner, first and foremost. While you may reap most of the rewards from the relationship at first, your JV partner can also see advantages in terms of commissions on your sales or mutual advertising. Begin with the benefits, and you may at least get your prospective partner to read your email or letter through to the end. This is the first step in obtaining a positive response for an official JV partnership.

Follow Through

Your first email or letter may not get read. Your initial phone call may not get returned. Persistence is the key in any successful JV partnership. While you don’t want to drive your potential partner crazy with daily phone calls or regular sales pitches, a polite follow-up to see if the person has read your proposal is certainly appropriate. Some JV marketers suggest correspondence once a week for a month to six weeks at a time. If a response is not received within this time frame, it is probably a good indication that it is time to move onto another prospect.

Finding JV partners and landing them can be easier said than done. Once you have a list of prospective partners, keep these tips in mind to help you successfully establish good JV partnerships that will benefit both businesses in the long run.
