Joint ventures occur when two or more people or business join together for a common goal. Here are three easy ways you can use to find possible joint venture partners.
Joint ventures, or creative alliances as I like to call them, occur when two or more people or businesses come together for a specific purpose. That purpose could be increasing potential client leads, launching a product or even sharing testimonials.
More and more people are realizing the potential and profitability of creative alliances. So the question becomes, how can you find potential partners so you can profit from such ventures?
Here are 3 ways you can use to find the perfect partner to form your creative alliance with.
Partner With a Colleague in Your Field
It is time that we all stop looking at our colleagues as competition and start viewing them as potential partners for profit. Every person has unique qualities and skills that set them apart from everyone else. And you can benefit from these qualities and skills!
Look for a colleague that has qualities that you admire or feel like you lack. Set up a time to talk with them about possibly doing a project together. Together you could accomplish a project that becomes successful beyond your wildest dreams and achieve more than you ever would have doing it alone.
Partner With Someone You Share a Client Base With
Who do you know that markets to the same client base that you do? For example, if you are a Reiki professional you might consider chiropractors or massage therapists.
Brainstorm at least 10 possible business categories and make a list of 3-5 people within each category. Begin contacting each individual with your idea for a creative alliance. When they realize that working with you will help their business grow and prosper they will be delighted that you got in touch with them.
Partner with Someone that You Have Always Admired
Is there someone in your field of influence that you admire, respect and would love to do a project with? Set up a time to meet with them to discuss possibilities. Chances are they have always wanted to collaborate with you but just haven't got around to asking.
Get together and do a brainstorming session. You never know what creative, profitable ideas and ventures you'll cook up that benefit each of you greatly.
These are just 3 ideas to get you started. What else can you come up with? Make a list of your own ideas for finding creative alliance partners.
The possibilities are endless for growing your business with the power of creative alliances. Just think Bill Gates began with an idea and a few creative alliance partners. What can you accomplish?
