Don't know whether you realize this or not, but I have been following you for quite some time now!

1. Don't start by going to Mike Filsaime...
2. Find peple who have been building a list for a year or two... they wqill be more receptive...
3. be personal with them... Again you need to make friends with everyone in your business... even your customers... even your prospects... So obviously your JV partners... Business partners are for months... friends are for life
4. Promote their product once before asking if possible...
5. Give them maximum out of the deal...
Use multiple modalities!
