How To Get The JV's You Want

[Len Wright]

Great posts!

Thought I would chime in and add that a great little book that talks about the service first attitiude is "the Go-Giver'". Enjoyable and easy read but an extremely powerful concept.

I can't agree more with all of these great posts, that the relationship is the best advantage you have in the JV partnership. If you work on developing a very solid and trusting relationship, you are in a much stronger position

It's also about long term relationships and life time value that counts here rather than a deal only. Then you can rely on your "friends" to assist you in getting into other partners by introducing you which is about as strong as it gets. A personal introduction always beats out a cold call. The more you serve the other the more they will WANT to make those introductions for you.

Keep up the great work all and remember that if you build the trust, serve and be authentic...the business will come to you rather than you chasing the business

Peace

Yeah, its all about social proof I guess. I'm currently working on recruiting JV parters and this is useful. Thanks

Hey Aaron,

I'm really interested in your post man, but could you tell me how you can achieve this? Do we need to write some letters to affiliate and post on the website and/or send email to a list of affiliates and asking them to join our product?

I believe what you said, things that will prolong relationship should be done. Despite that the subscribers will get the same mails from many affiliates for a particular product, when they trust you they tend to open your mails even if they delete others.
Also affiliates should be fair in the review of the products they market, it is not about money as your rightly said, but about integrity, reputation and goodwill.

Great info in this thread, tried the email approach to 12 top people in my IM niche just for 1 tip of advice to include in a presentation I was putting together and wanted to include their photo and link to blog site but didn't work all that well, so a video blog post is next to send them traffic as someone else suggested above! Not going to give up but its very hard when you're new to the scene to try to get noticed as such!

A very timely post for me. I'll definitely put some of this advice to use.

AIDA reminds me of ADD.

I use AIDA when creating video content.

I guess I should use more offen

Great thread! For me, without a doubt meeting people in person is one of the best ways to build those relationships, especially when first starting out. After that it is definitely helping someone first and give give before you ask them to help you. When you give, you get!

We've been applying that formula or similar for some time now to our own customers - giving outstanding value and service.

It makes perfect sense that we should now extend that formula and start providing our potential partners and their customer (our future customers) will exactly the same service.
