This article addresses facts that you need to understand in order to become a Master of "The Art Of The JV."
This article is specifically addressed to the individuals seeking to persuade super affiliates to JV with them.
Mastering "The Art Of The JV" actually isn't that difficult. It's something that many seasoned veterans within "The Internet Marketing Inner Circle" have done. It only requires acknowledging and adopting the proper mindset...which leads to naturally taking certain actions.
As a seasoned joint venture broker, and lifetime member of The Internet Marketing Inner Circle, please allow me to share with you just seven concept that once fully integrated into your thinking, and modus-operandi, WILL make you a MASTER of The Art Of The Joint Venture.
The 7 Concepts are:
1) Joint venturing is not just asking someone to promote your product. In the Internet Marketing niche in particular, lots of novice marketers equate joint venturing with recruiting super affiliates. Most super affiliate have countless products that they can promote (their own products and the products of partners). To such people, a joint venture often means a long-term multi-faceted arrangement.
2) Joint venturing is not just about the money! Many super affiliates are frequently offered 60-100% commission. Some are even surprisingly offered greater than 100% commission, so money is usually NOT their main motivator.
In case you're wondering how anyone could afford to pay greater than 100% commission, think backend!
3) Successful joint venturing does often hinge upon who you know. Man is a social creature and we thrive upon socializing, getting to know people, and becoming friends. We like to work with those that we actually know and also often make decisions based upon the recommendations of those we know. Often, joint ventures are landed when you are recommended by a friend of your "target" JV partner.
4) An irresistible joint venture proposal must answer the "What' In It For Me?" question. Too many people approach seeking joint ventures without really asking what the other party wants most! Seek joint ventures by first attempting to see the world through the other person's eyes, and you'll get better results.
5) In seeking joint ventures in many niches, you are facing very stiff competition. Many novice product developers seem to completely ignore the fact that they are only one-of-MANY releasing similar products in the same timeframe. Come to the table prepared to prove how your product is superior, and why your joint venture proposal is more desirable.
6) Being a part of the in crowd... "the inner circle," can give you a definite advantage. Most of us have a circle of trusted friends. We have people that we have grown to know, like and trust, and that's who we prefer working with (all things being equal). That DOES mean that you may need to break into your desired joint venture partners' inner circles.
7) The Law of Reciprocity is an inviolate law of human interactions. It applies to every human culture that anthropologists have ever studied. The law requires that when someone does something nice for you, you're obligated to do something nice for them in return. It requires that when someone does you a favor, that you seek ways to reciprocate. Learn to deliberately tap into that law by doing nice things for others... particularly potential JV partners. That's not diabolical - that's engineering a "yes!"
These are just a few of the concepts that you really do need a firm grasp of in order to be a Master Of The Joint Venture. Master these concepts and landing more lucrative joint ventures will require MUCH less effort. Study and practice "The Art Of The JV" until much of it is habit, and you will one day discover that you HAVE "Mastered" it.
Mastering The Art Of Selling
Given this development in the work world, team-building skills have come to be an essential part of seeking that new job or that promotion into the next level of management. After all, studies as well as real world experiences have shown that a group of people working as a team can generate much more productivity than the same group of people working individually.
So how do you become a team builder? How do you master the art of team building? How do you get the members to work effectively as a team? All of these skills are necessary to lead your team successfully and to master the art of team building.
-Communication. Efficient teams are created when every single member is free and able to share his/her thoughts and opinions. The decision-making process for a team must be dialogue based, not dictatorial. Good communication also involves active listening among team members and the ability of the team members to value the opinions of the others.
-Trust. All good teams are based solidly on trust. Every member of the team must be able to trust every other member to do the required work and to be an active and productive team member.
-Clear Goals. A team needs specific goals to function effectively. Team goals must be specific, decided after discussion, and must have a particular time limit.
-Progress Review. Goals by themselves are not enough in the absence of regular progress reviews. New information or even actions taken towards achieving the goal can sometimes end up affecting the completion. Teams need to conduct regular internal checks that include all team members to review the progress that has been made so far and to work out any problems that may have arisen.
-Cooperation. Each team member has to find some way of collaborating with every other member of the team. Personal accomplishments will shine through, but cooperation, not competition, is the key to team building success.
-Professionalism. Of the many individuals in a team, some are bound to have personalities that clash with each other. Team members have to be willing and able to set petty differences aside, working together with the others to achieve the team goals.
-Differences. Diversity is an asset. It often brings in new and differing ways of looking at the same issue, thinking about the same issue, and developing new ideas, all of which combine to give the team a better chance at making good decisions. Team members must be comfortable with and should revel in individual differences while respecting the value that each member brings to the team through their differences.
-Enthusiasm. Team members must be able to jump into the team process with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm helps each member to feel like a part of a vibrant.
-Collaboration. Efficient teams have members who each play a vital role in the completion of the work. Each member of the team must feel that they play a vital role in the sharing of the work and each member of the team should be held accountable for his/her share. Individual accountability is a large part of sharing and teamwork.
-Clear Responsibilities. Every team member must understand their role within the team and the importance of their share of work to the team as a whole.
