4 Steps to Becoming a Joint Venture Broker
August 25, 2010 by Christian · View Comments
Once you realize the profit potential waiting for successful joint ventures, you might decide that this field is the perfect place for you. Instead of simply capitalizing on a profitable partnership for your own business, you can create an entire company around helping others achieve the same success you have enjoyed.
This is the world of a JV broker, a professional who wheels and deals with various companies to form profitable partnerships between them. If this sounds like the perfect job for you, then these are the first four steps to take.
1. Understand the Concept of Joint Ventures
A basic joint venture brings together two or more companies that potentially share the same customer base without directly competing with one another. The two businesses come together to share customer lists, advertising costs and a wealth of additional resources. The specific scope of a JV partnership will be directly dependent on what the two businesses hope to gain. Once you understand these basics, you are ready to enter the exciting and challenging world of a JV broker.
2. Develop a Strong Network
Some JV brokers might specialize in a particular industry, while others will work with companies on a much broader scope. Whichever path you choose to take, you must begin networking with a wide range of businesses to ensure you can find the right matches in your database. JV brokers are masters at networking, whether online, over the phone or in person. They have a comprehensive knowledge of the businesses they work with, both in terms of the benefits they could provide and the needs they might have.
3. Create a Workable List
Every time you network with a particular business, add them to your list of workable contacts. Make sure the companies you list are open to joint ventures with other businesses, ensuring they will be open to your proposals when the time comes to approach them. Keep your list of contacts in a usable form, whether you create a spreadsheet with all the necessary information or store them in a Rolodex. When you come across a new company interested in joint ventures, you can easily refer to your list to find the right match.
4. Learn Basic Communication Skills
To turn businesses onto the idea of a joint venture, you must be able to explain precisely how these partnerships work and how each company benefits from the arrangement. You can even put your information into a written format that potential partners can download from your website or that you can distribute when you pay the company a visit.
As you work to educate your customer, educate yourself on what the customer hopes to achieve, so you are more likely to meet their needs through the partnership you arrange.
Once you have these basic steps under your belt, you are ready to venture into the world of JV brokering. With a robust network and plenty of basic information about joint ventures to offer, you are more likely to create successfully partnerships that will be successful for everyone involved, including you!

If you are just starting to navigate the world of joint ventures, you might be wondering if there is a professional who can walk you through the process, help you find a lucrative partner, and ensure your efforts are met with success.
The good news is that joint venture brokers are trained to provide all of these benefits and many more as well. Check out this article to find out what a joint venture broker does, and why this professional might be a boon to your own joint venture efforts.
Definition of a JV Broker
A joint venture broker is an individual who is specifically trained to help unite small businesses for the sole purpose of increasing profits. These brokers match up companies in a variety of niches that will work well together in a joint venture.
In addition to creating profitable matches, joint venture brokers might also offer support in marketing and principles that ensure your joint venture will be successful.
For small business owners who are completely new to the idea of joint ventures, brokers can be invaluable in providing the information, research and know-how necessary to set businesses up for marketing success.
Benefits of Working with a JV Broker
There are many reasons to consider hiring a JV broker when you decide it is time to combine resources with another company to maximize profits. First, JV brokers typically boast a large database of companies in a variety of industries that have expressed an interest in partnering with other businesses. A broker can offer you a joint venture with a business similar in size to your own or a much larger conglomerate looking for affiliates for a variety of purposes.
A joint venture broker does all the backend research and information gathering for you, so you can rest assured you partner with the best companies for your needs. Once your JV broker finds the best matches for your business, this professional can also oversee the negotiation process to ensure the partnership meets the needs of both companies involved.
An experienced broker offer tremendous value in terms of the time you save creating your own joint venture partnerships and the likelihood of success in matching up companies that are most apt to offer benefit to one another.
Paying for Service
Despite the obvious advantages joint venture brokers provide, many small business owners are hesitant to solicit their services because of the costs involved. However, most JV brokers do not require any money up front; instead, they negotiate a percentage of the joint venture profits as they are earned. This means you can reap all the advantages of a joint venture broker without affecting your bottom line to do so.
Joint venture brokers make the entire joint venture process easier to navigate. These professionals guide you through the joint venture process to ensure it works effectively for your company. When you are matched with the right businesses for your unique needs, your joint ventures are much more likely to be met with success, including a broader customer base and a more robust bottom line.

How to Nurture Trust in Your Joint Venture Partnership
April 28, 2010 by Christian · View Comments
Investing in a joint venture marketing partnership is a great way to build the trust of customers and increase your bottom-line overall. However, before you can nurture a relationship with customers, you must first build trust and confidence with your potential JV partners. This article will cover some of the best ways to build trust among the members of a JV partnership.
Building Trust in the Value of Your Business
If you are just beginning the process of establishing JV partnerships, you will need to start by demonstrating your authenticity and credibility to other companies. This can be done in a number of ways:
- Show customer testimonials that attest to the value, quality and honesty of your business.
- Obtain positive press coverage about your company and the products or services you offer.
- Show endorsements for your company that have come from other respected individuals in your field.
Even if you successfully demonstrate the legitimacy of your business, you may have to resort to offering a large amount of benefits to another company at first to offset the risk they are undertaking. This may include providing a significant portion of your profits in return for the advertising and endorsement you receive from your JV partners.
Building Trust between Partners
Once you have found potential joint venture partners who are interested in working with you, it’s important to build and maintain a professional and trusting relationship between partners. The techniques for nurturing your JV partnerships are the same used in building any type of professional relationship and include:
- Keeping your word, which means never making promises you aren’t sure you can keep
- Always telling the truth to partners, even if it isn’t something they want to hear
- Maintaining an air of confidentiality between you and your JV partners
- Keeping open lines of communication, so your partners never worry that you’re hiding something from them
- Always returning calls and emails promptly, so your partners know you are available and accessible to them
- Never talking about another company behind the back of the business owner, particularly when the information is negative or confidential in nature
By performing in a professional manner consistently, your prospective and current JV partners will come to know you as a business owner with integrity and honesty. The longer they work with you on this level, the easier it will be to trust you in all the business dealings the two of you are involved in.
A JV partnership is about much more than making a buck; it is about building professional relationships that will stand up against time. When your JV partners trust you, your business and your motives, you’re doing more than nurturing that particular relationship, you are establishing yourself and your company as one that others will be willing to work with thanks to your integrity, honesty and professionalism. A trustworthy business is one that is worth its weight in gold, and one that will continue to thrive in all sorts of economic climates.

Your happiness through reduction
March 3, 2010 by Christian · View Comments
This post may piss you off and it’s not really about creating joint ventures, but something I had to share with you. It’s that important. This information will indirectly lead to reducing what’s not working in your life while simultaneously bringing you closer to your major objectives both in your personal life and your business life.
It’s not something that I usually write about but it’s something that I feel you can benefit from while you’re building your business as well as something to think about in your daily life to bring you closer to a state of happiness.
If you consistently ask yourself, “why am I working on this project?” or “do I really have to sacrifice my time, beliefs and my sanity just to get by in life?” or “there must be more to life then this” then it’s highly probable that you’re spending your time working on the wrong projects with the wrong people so you can just get by with paying your bills. But in essence, are you really living, or are you just existing?
I hope I’ve got your attention because I think you’ll appreciate what I’m about to share with you. I’m currently reading, The Art of Being Minimalistic by Everett Bogue. This is a profound, eye-opening, short book by a young author with a powerful message.
Bogue’s book is about decluttering your life. It’s about getting rid of material objects that are holding you prisoner, spending more time on your passions and creating the life that allows you to work on meaningful projects. All this without being tied down by societal pressure to inventory materialistic possessions that are only holding you down.
You may be asking yourself how does this pertain to building my business or doing joint venture brokering deals, or even starting my very first business. That’s an excellent question! By approaching life with a minimalistic intention, this allows you more time, money and freedom of mind to focus on what really excites you. Being excited about something or someone gives us inertia. It helps us get to the next step to the next task and propels us to take action in the direction of where our minds are telling us to go, yet we abandon the concept because we’re too busy living, feeling guilty, and focused on what we think we should be doing and not listening to our inner voices. Ironically, these inner voices that are talking to us are exactly what we should be listening to.
Imagine on working on projects that you truly feel you can contribute to, make a difference in other people’s lives, or leave a legacy behind for your family and people dear to your life. This isn’t a fictional example or somebody taking this claim of living life like a hippie or a gypsy. This is the story of one man’s journey as he quit his job, moved to a new state (with only $3000 to his name), regained clarity, peace of mind and direction once he decided to live a minimalistic life.
In business, and in life we tend to complicate matters. We tend to make things much more complicated than they really are, spend too much time on the wrong projects and work with the wrong people. I have to admit, I too have wasted years complicating my own life and I’m still in the process of streamlining and reducing projects, roadblocks, and distractions in my life that are not leading me towards my primary objectives.
This is one of the primary reasons that I decided to be a joint venture broker. It’s a very simplified lifestyle where I can work in almost any industry, in a recession or a thriving economy in any location with only my computer and a cell phone. Through reduction, I only work on the projects that excite me and work with people who are positive, ethical and pleasurable to work with.
So if you find yourself struggling, asking yourself, “why am I doing this?” or just spinning your wheels and wasting time yet never really feeling fulfilled, I recommend Everett’s book as part of your process of reducing time and money wasting projects, tasks and activities that you’re working on today but you just don’t feel right about. It’s a quick read, only 67 pages yet I’m certain that after you read it you’ll approach your next decision with a newfound clarity, vision and agenda.
I hope you enjoy the book and find relevant meaning that can guide, assist and help you lead a happier fulfilling life not only for yourself but for the people in your life who are dear to you.
