Ever Thought About These Seven Practical Places To Find Potential Joint Venture Partners!Part Two
As you previously discovered in part one of this ongoing series.
About “how” you can and should use the aforementioned, seven unlikely places to actively look for and nurture, (potential) long term money making joint venture partnerships.
Your business expenses and entrepreneurial skill level can and will be greatly improved, by your association with the right type of joint venture partners. Don’t you agree?
The main reason being, that you (and they) are strategically and creatively leveraging each others strengths, and other extremely valuable resources and or assets! And you both will benefit!Especially long term.Agreed?
It’s Not Really Important Where You Actually Find Your Joint Venture Partners!
(Just That You Do Find Them!)
As you recall from part one. Place/source # three was offline live events and or annual industry conventions etc. For one thing, you’re surrounded by a ton of like minded entrepreneurs.Right?
And they’re all committed enough to invest -both- their extremely valuable time and money, in search of viable, proven solutions.
A word of (extreme) caution is in order here! If you’re attending a live or industry event strictly as an attendee.
Do not try and approach one of the top guru -rock star- speakers -about interviewing them- if you haven’t been personally introduced yet! Meaning- prior to this event, the two of you are complete strangers!
Don’t Prematurely Blow A Potential Golden Opportunity Down The Road!
Because there is a 99.99% chance, it ain’t gonna happen! First and foremost, they don’t know you personally yet!
They have no idea “what” if any, the quality of your product(s) or service is! They have no idea “what” type of customer service and or follow up reputation you have.
And they get a gazillion of these same type of lame offers 24/7! Respect their time and come off like a long term potential asset, not just another non value provider resource drainer!
Instead, if you’re already one of their loyal subscriber/customers and or repeat customer/ clients, and you’ve purchased your early bird ticket/bonus package to the event.
Be A Giver Not Just A Taker! (And You’ll Definitely Put The Odds In Your Favor!)
And their (either) the keynote speaker or one of the other speakers scheduled to appear.
Reach out to them via email first; asking if (at) some point during,before or after the event, if you could please interview them for five minutes or less!
Or include a short list of no more than three of your most pressing/burning questions you like to ask them about!
Explain your rational being, that by them addressing/answering your three most burning questions, it will not only benefit you, but your growing audience as well!
And you’d simply like to (either) add the video to both your WordPress blog and youtube channel and possibly other video sharing sites etc.
Take Things Step By Step! (And Go Slowly And Build And Nurture Rock Solid Relationships!)
They get it! And they know you’re trying to strategically leverage their credibility and expertise etc. Make it clear, that under “no” circumstances are you trying to sell the interview!
With this type of lower key more professional approach, they may or may not agree! If they do, all you’re really trying to do with this type of entry level mini interview strategy, is to simply gain some all important marketing cred, by interviewing an established rock star guru or guruette expert!
Good Joint Ventures Equal Reliable Long Term Profits!
The real long term monetization opportunities will come a little bit later. So be patient! It’s more than worth it!
Because remember, this established guru or guruete, can and will, (if you) play your cards right! Open the door to other rock star like mega insiders, who might not only agree to an interview (or series) of interviews!
They just might decide to help you grow your business or service more directly! In fact! Think about this possibility for just a second.
What if after your initial interview with established guru # one, they agree to a follow up, far more comprehensive 30-45 minute, “No holds barred” Q & A session with you! Now, you’ve got a potential info product to sell don’t you? For sure.
Make Steadily Developing Your Own Skills A Major Priority And Long Range Product!
Yep! You could also create a short 3-7 page special report, (and or) one page, X number of points cheat sheet to go along with it and bingo!
Or it could become (either) a free lead magnet to help grow your list VIP opt in email list, or a free bonus product to go along with some other product or service that you’re marketing.
Or an affiliate product or service that you’re currently marketing or plan on marketing etc.
Whose Says You Have To Limit Your Creative Marketing Possibilities!
On the other hand. Let’s suppose that for whatever reasons they decline your request to be interviewed at the live event!(It definitely happens!)
Don’t be put off! Instead thank them for their time and consideration! Because you can and should still attempt to interview a few fellow attendees while you’re there.
But the door may still be open for you to approach this guru or guruette again, later on down the road!After you’re a little more established.)
Take Your Time And Start Small With Your First Few Joint Venture Arrangements! (So You Really Get A Feel For How The Process Works!)
The main point is, just because you’re not able to successfully joint venture with an insider your first time out of the gate!
Don’t let that temporary set back, (which we all definitely face!), especially when you’re first starting out, deter you from actively pursuing this extremely viable marketing strategy! Okay!
