Here's my approach to becoming a partner. This is a business deal. You have a product you want me to market. I need to review the product to see #1 if it's good and #2 if it will fit into my overall business plan and vision. If it does not meet that criteria, then I tell them sorry, it's not a good fit for my business.
I get a lot of people who want me to critique their sites and products to tell them how to improve upon them. If when I turn down a potential JV and they want me to critique their stuff, I will. However, I do not candy coat anything. I mean that never helped anyone and I don't want to waste my time fluffing and your time trying to figure out what's fluff or not. So I don't do that. I'm straight and blunt in my reviews.
If the products are a match, I send out a broadcast to the group and/or put it in my autoresponder series. I also treat the product as I would my own, since it's an income stream, why wouldn't I?
I recently went to Jeff Mills' Midwest Super Conference and within a week I started making money on something that wasn't even my product! The approach has to be the same! Overall it's YOUR BUSINESS. It's time to start thinking like the CEO of your business and treat others with honor and respect! If not, people will not want to do business with you. In business, you should NEVER burn a bridge. That bridge could have been an income stream in the future.
Get your mind right and treat a JV as it should be, a partnership.
For those of you who don't know. JV = Joint Venture Partnership
So treat your Partnership as you would like to be treated when it comes time to launch yours!!!
