Joint Venture Opportunities Abound!

Good news! There are multiple income opportunities all around us. Rika and I just returned from a short, six-day trip to northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Apart from hiking, walking and enjoying the incredible nature, we stayed at three different hotels, ate at a number of restaurants, enjoyed a wonderful day of whale watching, and visited a number of businesses and stores. And everywhere, we were surrounded by missed business opportunities. EVERYWHERE. We saw no evidence of Joint Ventures, virtually no Back End income opportunities, no referral systems, no database-building exercises. Nobody even attempted to upsell us, refer us, add value, get our information, or in fact take any interest in us. And this included a visit to a real estate office!

I’m not complaining – we had a happy and memorable holiday - I’m rejoicing in the fact that my business has unlimited growth opportunities. Every business that we were involved with had the opportunity to add unexpected, real value in the form of coupons, samples, and freebies from other businesses, at no cost or risk to them, by using Joint Ventures and being paid for resulting business by the supplier of the additional value. Every business had the opportunity to refer us to other services and products in a helpful and consultative manner, and get paid for resulting sales. They all had the opportunity to get our information, put us onto a paid referral program, turn us into their salespeople, convert us into friends and virtual business partners, and create win/win Joint Ventures with us. Nobody even tried. Even when I discussed their businesses with them.

Don’t get me wrong – we received excellent service from all but one business. It’s just that they left so much money on the table that it’s actually quite sad. They could have turned us into raving fans quite easily. I might have added their names to this article. They could have earned at least 50% more net profit had they implemented the kind of Joint Ventures I’m referring to, all at no cost or risk and 100% profit. No cost of sales, no extra time required. Just simple, logical JV’s. That means that YOU, as a Joint Venture Broker, could be taking a piece of all the action you create in that environment. You could be triangulating JV’s left, right and center. And it’s not only on Vancouver Island that we see this absolute ignorance of the JV opportunity – it’s everywhere. You’re richer than you think. Opportunity abounds. More Information: http://www.dollarmakers.com/
