When you Need Cash Flow NOW

If your steady stream of cash flow is looking more like a soft drizzle what can you do to provide yourself with more stability?

START CREATING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Building Strategic Partnerships, or Joint Ventures is a low cost, high impact activity you can use to capture more marketshare, increase brand awareness, save time, build business relationships, and above all, increase your revenues.

To get started, create a list of five or six other businesses that:

• Have a product or service that compliments yours
• Have the same ideal client or target market as you

And, here is the most important component ….

• Would benefit from being in partnership with you

The third component is the most important element to consider. Before approaching any prospective strategic partner, you should know the answers to the three following questions:

1. What can you do for them?
2. Why or how would their customers benefit from your product or service?
3. What would you be willing to give up to have this relationship?

Much to our dismay, our dream partners aren’t sitting around waiting for us to show up. The more compelling and benefit driven our offer is to them and their customers, the more exited they will be to partner with us!
