  • Your Character and Ethics Create a Strong Joint Venture Bond

    Partner 12:00 am on February 25, 2009 | 1 Permalink | Reply

    Becoming a successful entrepreneur requires many skills: creativity, tenacity, diplomacy, and an arsenal of patience to make it all come together and work. However, you, as an entrepreneur, do not have to go it alone. That doesn’t mean you need to acquire a full partner in your business. But you can achieve even more success through joint ventures.

    A joint venture requires all the skills of an entrepreneur and more. In particular, the psychology of your behavior toward your JV partner plays a big part in the success of the venture. What characteristics do you need that contribute to a successful joint venture?

    Beliefs and Values

    Your beliefs and values in how you run and operate your business can make or break a potential joint venture deal. Are you extremely competitive, one who tries to win at all costs? And do you rant when you fail? This could be a sign to a potential JV partner that you are not easy to deal with when times get tough and could jeopardize your potential venture.

    Though competitiveness is just an example, there are many beliefs and values that can contribute to a successful joint venture partnership:

    - Creativity: Your ability to generate ideas and innovative ways to market and sell your product or service can be a great asset.

    - Quality: A value of achieving the highest quality in your business output can attract many joint venture partners who also want to produce quality.

    - Fairness: No cheating allowed. Do you hold fair business practices sacred? Those who like to “skim the books” or perform underhanded tactics to be successful do not usually succeed in the long term. Take a position of following business laws and avoiding the urge to steal secrets of other organizations to continue long-term success with a joint venture partner.

    Positive Attitude

    Do you always have a positive attitude, even in the darkest of times? It may be difficult, but having a positive attitude can help you and your joint venture partner solve problems that you face in your road to success. Besides, a positive attitude is what inspired you to become an entrepreneur and a business owner in the first place, right?

    Be open to ideas from your joint venture partner as well. Having a positive attitude can help you both be creative in solving problems and developing innovative business ideas. Though you and your joint venture partner may not use every idea, the more ideas you generate together give you more opportunity to discover the most feasible one.

    Think Win-Win

    Using the 4th of Stephen R. Covey’s “7 Habits” can be the most sought after characteristic when it comes to joint venture partnerships. Who wants to partner with someone who is only looking out for himself? You must have the attitude of creating win-win business ideas that benefit both parties of a joint venture. With a win-win attitude, you can surely solicit and convince a potential JV partner to join you in a business deal.

    Joint ventures are a great avenue for business success. However, you must remember that your personality, character, ethics, and attitude play a big part in determining a successful joint venture.

  • Are You Leveraging Your Time With Joint Ventures?

    Partner 12:00 am on February 23, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    Though it may be common sense to most, some entrepreneurs and small business owners tend to forget that their time is valuable. Why do so many waste time performing administrative activities or mundane tasks that do not fully utilize their talents and skills as a salesperson or business producer?

    So often we complain about having too little time to do everything we need to do in order to make our business grow, or that we don’t have enough money to do the proper advertising. However, in actuality, we may be inefficiently allocating time and money resources that are available to us.

    Joint Venture Saves the Day and Your Time

    A joint venture approach to time and money efficiency can be a business lifesaver, if not a Midas touch to great wealth. A joint venture with the right partner can help you both combine resources and utilize time, money, distribution, technology, customer access, special skills, and other resources, more efficiently. In essence, you and your joint venture partner share the risk involved with a business venture, but leverage the strengths of the other for mutual financial benefit.

    When you have a reliable joint venture partner working in alliance on a business project, you have more time to make your own business grow. You have more time to hire reliable employees, more time to train current employees, more time to sell, more time to negotiate deals and more time to create additional joint ventures. You get the picture.

    Your expertise as an entrepreneur is the capital that keeps your business afloat. If you want your business to continue its success, you need to find ways to leverage your time in the most efficient moneymaking way. Why are you spending hours doing $10 an hour bookkeeping work when you could hire that out or leverage the accounting system of your joint venture partner? If your time could be better spent creating development ideas and revenue streams that are worth $500 an hour, isnt spending your time most profitably a better idea?

    How to Brainstorm a Joint Venture Endeavor

    Approach a joint venture with the following thoughts:

    - How can I form a joint venture that saves me time and money?

    - How can I leverage the resources of a potential joint venture partner?

    - How can I add value to a joint venture partner so we both profit financially?

    If you find that you are spending more time in the back room than in front of customers or clients, it may be the perfect opportunity for you to form a joint venture to free up resources. Use your entrepreneurial skills and creativity and approach a potential partner with a moneymaking proposal. A successful joint venture can unload a burden from your business operations that will lead to bigger sales and more time for you to manage your business.

  • The Importance of Trust in Your Joint Venture

    Partner 12:00 am on February 19, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    A joint venture can open up new lines of business and additional streams of income for you by accessing larger markets, producing more and better products through shared technology, and ultimately increasing revenue. The benefits can be great, but in order to make a joint venture successful, you must have trust in your JV partner.

    Trust: Give it and Earn it

    When joint venture partners have complete trust in the other, then the partnership has wings in which to spread and soar. However, trust requires vulnerability. You must allow yourself and your business to become vulnerable to the actions of your joint venture partner. The success of a joint venture partnership may require you to share important information about your business. In doing so, you trust your partner in the venture to do the right thing and make the right choices.

    You must also earn the trust of your JV partner. Of course, earning trust means not taking advantage of your JV partner, but in a proactive sense, it means that you keep your promises, are willing to help and put effort in the partnership, treat your JV partner as an equal and not an independent hire, and inspire confidence with your actions.

    Expectation and Credibility

    Along with trust comes expectation and credibility. If you allow yourself and your business to be vulnerable, you expect your JV partner to do the same. And in order to allow your JV partner inside your closed circle, you need to know that your potential JV partner is credible. Have there been any documented incidents or evidence that would stain credibility? Beware of hearsay. Gossip can ruin a business reputation. Always be on the side of giving the benefit of the doubt if your dealings with your potential JV partner have been positive.

    Listen

    During the time your joint venture is in existence, it is important to listen in order to maintain the trust between you and your JV partner. Listening well earns the trust of others. And remember that listening is the other half of communication. When you communicate with your JV partner, you have a relationship that involves trust. Be ready to be a good listener.

    Empathy and Understanding

    While listening gains the trust of others, and particularly your potential JV partner, empathy and understanding helps fulfill the need in others. Work toward building a solid relationship with your JV partner where you can both help fulfill each other’s business needs. Ask questions. Show that you understand the issues communicated to you. Offer compliments. When you listen and understand your JV partner, you have also earned their respect.

    The joint venture partnership is a two way street. You must communicate effectively to help make it a success, but your ultimate test is the trust you put into each other. If you do not trust people, people will not trust you. Be willing to share and be vulnerable and you may be surprised at the positive response from your joint venture partner.

  • How to Form a Joint Venture Marketing Business Plan

    Partner 12:00 am on February 17, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    The hard part about joint ventures is the actual work in convincing a potential JV partner about the merits of the venture. Once you have a JV partner in hand, the next step is communicating together and working toward forming a solid business plan that will guide you to success with the venture.

    A joint venture marketing business plan does not need to be a fully composed booklet like the type mainly used for acquiring loans or other funding. Of course, the more detail you and your JV partner can put into your strategic plan, the better guide you will have. However, your business plan could be as simple as a one-page point-by-point strategic outline.

    Goal of Joint Venture Marketing Partnership

    Your number one assignment in forming a JV business plan is to spell out the goal for each party. The goal doesn’t necessarily have to be the same. Your specific goal in the partnership may be to get access to wider marketing base, while your JV partner’s goal may be to increase revenue through the sharing of technology and expertise.

    Be sure to spell out the goal so that neither you nor your JV partner has any miscommunication about why you are in the partnership.

    Assignment of Duties

    What specific duties will you perform? What will your JV partner do? Again, to avoid any misunderstanding in the division of duties to reach your JV partnership goals, write out the duties that each will perform along the way.

    Funding Sources

    How will you and your JV partner split expenses? Is your JV partnership large enough that it may need a bank loan? In your JV business plan, know how you and your partner will fund the venture. It may be as simple as contributing $1000 each into a JV “kitty” to get the venture rolling. Wherever the funding comes from, clarify who will pay for what expenses and how much each is willing to contribute.

    Resource Allotment

    Will you and your joint venture marketing partner need additional resources in addition to money? Perhaps you will contribute some of your employee expertise, or your JV partner will utilize his distributing network to make the JV a success. Be specific in how you will allot the resources needed.

    Division of Profits or Benefits

    If there is a profit to be made and split from the joint venture marketing endeavor, how will the funds be allocated? Perhaps it will be a 50/50 profit split, or depending on one partner’s additional resource allotment, the profits may be split 70/30. Be sure you each know what you will be receiving from the partnership.

    Exit Strategy

    Finally, make an exit strategy in your business plan, which will allow you and your JV partner to know when it is time to fold the cards. Perhaps your goal is a short-term partnership that will terminate after a specific event. Or, it could be an ongoing joint venture marketing project until one or both of the partners says they are ready to terminate the agreement. Spell it out clearly so that you both know how to wrap up the JV cleanly and without ill will towards the other.

  • Microsoft's Joint Venture Brings Popular Internet Culture to Latin America

    Partner 12:00 am on February 14, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    Have you found a comfortable niche in your industry and region? Are you looking for a way to expand your operations without the necessary capital buildup and potential debt structure required for most business expansion projects?

    Why not look for a business with a similar industry to yours that is doing well in another regional niche? By combining forces, including technology, customers, subscribers, name branding, and other strengths, you could form a joint venture to capitalize on new markets.

    Microsoft’s Desire to Enter into Latin America

    Microsoft is the undisputed king of PC and Internet software. What would happen if the software king partnered with the leading telecommunications company in Mexico to bring popular Internet and MSN technology to Central America? The result was T1MSN, a joint venture created by Microsoft and TelMex.

    As we crossed into the 21st century, Microsoft was looking for a way to expand their online software and Internet presence, known as MSN, into further reaches beyond the United States. Though Microsoft was already known worldwide, they looked at a potential partnership with Telmex, the leading telecommunications company in Mexico.

    TelMex controlled 10.8 million phone lines and over 5 million wireless customers through the largest fiber optics digital network in three countries. Their services included wireless communication, video broadcasting, data transfer, and Internet access. With such a tremendous communications presence already in Central America, Microsoft had a perfect partner in which to launch a joint venture into Spanish-speaking countries.

    Microsoft’s JV Marketing Proposal

    Microsoft knew that TelMex had a leading Internet stake already planted in Central America. Rather than trying to build their own Central American presence and delivery system from scratch, Microsoft approached TelMex with a joint venture proposal. The proposal would combine existing TelMex customers and internet delivery systems with quality and popular MSN programming and services in a new company, T1MSN.

    T1MSN began delivering services in Mexico, offering rich, popular MSN content in Spanish, such as the MSN Internet portal, MSN Messenger, MSN web communities, Hotmail, and other web-based email services. The new company also began creating new web programming and bundled software for its Spanish-speaking subscribers.

    Part of Microsoft’s strategy in forming the joint venture with TelMex is to continue forming partnerships with other Internet providers to over 29 countries in the America’s and Europe. Microsoft faced stiff competition in North America from Internet provider rival AOL. In order to continue to compete in the Internet arena, Microsoft needed a strategy to build and provide popular Internet content. They decided the best route to growing their Internet brand was through joint venture partnerships with established communications and Internet companies in other countries.

    Even Microsoft can’t take over the world without a little help. By joining forces with strong companies in other regions Microsoft grew their Internet market presence. If you’re ready to begin your business expansion, consider joint ventures. It could be the best strategy for your company to become a national, or even a worldwide, presence in your industry.

  • Don't Try to Beat Them - Joint Venture with Them

    Partner 12:00 am on February 12, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    The old business strategy, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”, can be so true for a joint venture. Business owners want to succeed in keeping their business sustainable and growing. And usually the biggest obstacle for a business is competition. But do you view your competition as that which must be conquered, or have you really taken a look at your competition and analyzed how you can work to increase profits together?

    The psychology of competition has always been that of beating the other companies. There must be a clear winner and a loser. However, this does not have to be the case in business. It is quite possible that you and your competition can put differences aside and work towards mutually beneficial goals. But in order to make that work, you need to remove the face of “the other guy” and become an informed and strategic-thinking entrepreneur.

    Analyze the Competition

    Before you can figure out how to work together, you need to know the similarities and differences between you and your competition. First, take a good, long look at your competition. Gather and write down information about their business process. Where do their customers come from? How is their product packaged? Where do you see their advertisements?

    Learn everything you can about how your competition works. Become a “secret shopper” and make a purchase. You can hire someone or get an associate to do this work if your competition knows whom you are. First-hand knowledge of business practices can be some of the best data. How do they treat customers? How fast was their service? What is their decor if they operate in a retail shop or office? Casually ask other customers about their experiences with your competition.

    Formulate a Strategy

    Once you have gathered as much information as you can about your competition, analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Is their packaging inferior? Do they provide much better customer service than you? Find the points where your competition could help your business, as well as the strengths you possess that can help them.

    After you have pinpointed potential areas in which you can combine efforts, formulate a point-by-point presentation that you can use to convince your competition that by working together you can both enjoy increased revenues.

    Approach the Competition

    This could be the hardest part, especially if you have had an adverse relationship with your competition in the past. But remember the past is history, and you want to look toward the future with high expectations of success. Agree to bury the proverbial hatchet.

    Take them out to lunch or invite them over for a formal meeting. Outline for them your strategic plan that shows specifically how you can combine strengths to generate higher revenues. Can you create more attractive packaging? Can you use your cost-cutting method of production with their stellar customer service? Remember to focus on showing them how they can benefit from your strengths.

    If your competition has an open mind, then a joint venture can easily be agreed upon if the benefits are there. Remember to maintain a professional and business-like attitude and your competition can see that you’ll be easy to work with. If your competition agrees with your plan, then congratulations! Move forward to setting your plan in action and enjoy the benefits of your joint effort.

  • 4 Powerful Joint Venture Advantages

    Partner 12:00 am on February 12, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    A joint venture can sometimes seem like more work than it’s worth. However, business owners who think in this manner probably have the wrong mindset to be in business in the first place. A savvy business owner will be constantly looking for ways to improve business placement and revenue, as well as find advantages that set his or her business apart.

    If a business owner is on the lookout for new advantages, a joint venture may be in the cards and just the thing to create those advantages. Joint ventures are business partnerships and require cooperation and trust. However, they do not have to be permanent nor does a business owner need to share all his or her secrets to take advantage of a joint venture partnership.

    What are some of the advantages? Here’s a partial list:

    Access Larger Markets

    A strategic joint venture partnership can provide access to larger customer bases and geographical markets. Say you have a printing business that specializes in creating shirts, coffee mugs, pens, and other merchandise with company logos. By teaming up with a business consultant with a wide-range business contact network, you can provide them with clever promotional items and gain access to a large catalogue mailing list.

    Look at the marketing possibilities that a joint venture can offer your business. Since marketing and promotion are always something you need to focus on for your business, getting otherwise inaccessible market taps can help your business grow.

    Longer Marketing Reach

    Not only can you gain access to larger and new markets, but also you can extend your marketing reach. You may not have the budget for advertisements in national magazines, but a strategic joint venture can provide you with new marketing channels and geographic scopes. Additionally, a joint venture strategy may give you more direct access to decision makers.

    Access to Technology & Resources

    You may have big dreams to expand your business with technology. But rather than trying to obtain venture capital for technology expansion, consider whether a joint venture would be more profitable in the end. When you borrow money, you have the obligation to pay it back before you recognize any considerable profit. By using the technology and resources already utilized by a joint venture partner, you could build business and raise revenues faster by sharing the profits.

    Build Credibility

    Your small business may not have the reputation it needs yet to become a big business. Find the right joint venture partner with national recognition and reputation, and you can instantly raise the credibility of your own business. If you have a strategic idea that can be used by a national company, that joint venture could thrust your business into the limelight and open doors for you. Don’t just think about joint ventures on a small scale with the store across the street, think big!

  • Achieve Exponential Profits with the Right Joint Venture Deal

    Partner 12:00 am on February 10, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    Is your small business making just enough to stay afloat and provide you with a livable salary? Perhaps you haven’t analyzed your product potential well enough. There may be a joint venture that can take your small company from a neighborhood business to national exposure with exponential profits.

    Joint Ventures Turned Stickers into a Multi-Million Enterprise

    How can you take a small business and turn it into a multi-million dollar enterprise? Consider a strategic joint venture with a big name company. Take a look at Mello Smello. Jon and Leah Miner, husband and wife, had a small sticker store they operated in Minnesota. They approached another Minnesota firm, 3M about combining their technologies to create a new line of stickers. The result was a process called micro-encapsulation, where odors and smells could be captured and coated onto paper stickers.

    Scratch n Sniff stickers were born, and Mello Smello suddenly went from a small, unknown business to a multi-million dollar a year company. Since then, Jon and Leah have partnered up with the likes of Disney, Nascar, and DC Comics to create Mello Smello stickers of popular characters. They have also developed other products such as glow-in-the-dark stickers, temporary tattoos, and children’s greeting cards.

    The Benefits of Thinking Big

    Jon and Leah have enjoyed over 20 years of tremendous success due to their original idea of forming a joint venture with a big partner. What can you do with your business by thinking big?

    Reduce the Learning Curve – Strategic joint ventures with big partners reduce your learning curve for technology significantly. By agreeing to share revenues with 3M, Mello Smello gained access to new technology bases that otherwise may have taken years, even decades, to develop and market on their own. 3M’s revolutionary technology for sticky paper helped Mello Smello to manufacture their creative product.

    Build Credibility – By linking your business with nationally branded companies, you can increase your credibility as one who produces quality merchandise, products, or services. Would Mello Smello have been able to partner with Disney without the technological help and exposure from 3M? Probably not. But by teaming with a national player, the little business from Minnesota was able to start growing in exponential waves with new partnerships with other big businesses.

    Create New and Bigger Revenue Streams – With a joint venture, new markets open up for your business that may not have been available before. With the licensing partnership with Disney, Mello Smello gained international markets for their products.

    Additionally, Mello Smello began additional product development that helped create new revenue streams. This can be another exponential revenue generator. With a successful product already in hand, new products can double, or even triple, revenue cycles.

    Joint ventures can be the key for a small business to make a quantum leap from local business to national producer. Take the time to take a look at possible strategic alliances that could position your business for the future.

  • Your Enthusiasm is Infectious to Your Joint Venture Partners

    Partner 12:00 am on February 6, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    What is one of the most efficient octane-filled fuels that propel your joint venture? Enthusiasm! If you’re excited about the possibilities and potential of making more money, your JV partner will be too.

    The psychology of business can be a real asset in helping you and your JV partner reach new heights with your joint venture. And enthusiasm is one of those psychological keys. Webster’s defines enthusiasm as:

    - Strong excitement…inspiring zeal or fervor

    Who wants to fail when inspired with zeal or fervor? With enthusiasm, you can make a new contact, sell more products, and even train employees to do better. And the best part of enthusiasm is that it is transferable.

    So how do you transfer and build enthusiasm with your joint venture partner?

    Inspire Motivation

    Give yourself and your JV partners something to accomplish: a goal. A big one! Talk together and set a goal to earn a certain amount of revenue. It could be $2,000 or $2 million – whatever motivates you both to make it happen.

    Your goal may not even be specifically revenue related. Your joint venture could be for the purpose of saving money on production or expenses. Even joining to save money falls to the bottom line and translates into more net income for you and your JV partner.

    And don’t forget to reward yourselves. Part of motivation is enjoying a nice celebration when the goal is reached. Pop a bottle of wine. Take your JV partner to dinner at a nice restaurant (it’s tax deductible!). When you reward yourselves for a job well done, you set up a pattern of excitement and enthusiasm to reach the next goal.

    Cultivate Trust

    Trust can take a lot of effort on either part of you or your JV partner. If you truly feel you can trust your JV partner, tell them. A central part of motivation is the feeling of trust that someone has put into you. By telling your JV partner that you trust them, it gives them the incentive to do well and not let you down.

    The Old Pat On The Back

    Good old encouragement goes a long way. Find ways to encourage your JV partner. It could be by coming up with a creative idea. Even saying, “that’s a great idea” is a fabulous way to build enthusiasm in your joint venture.

    And don’t forget to build enthusiasm by building teamwork. Talking together and getting excited about a big goal can really get the enthusiastic juices flowing.

    Sometimes your joint venture partner may just need a little encouragement due to a setback. Tell your partner the setback doesn’t mean failure. Tell them, “We can do it!” This kind of pat on the back can help your JV partner get back on track and running at full speed.

    Your use of business psychology can have a tremendous effect on the people around you: your employees, your customers, and your joint venture partner. Enthusiasm is one of those positive psychology tricks that help reach a goal faster, produce more, sell more, and even just help people enjoy the job you’re doing.

  • Increasing the Probability of Success in Your Home Based Business with Joint Ventures

    Partner 12:00 am on February 3, 2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    More and more people are suffering from economic setbacks and corporate layoffs. What is the solution for many of these people? They consider starting their own freelance business working from home.

    Forming a home business has become as easy as pressing a few keystrokes and hanging out your virtual “shingle”. However, being in business for yourself is not so helpful if you can’t make the business come to you. That is why many home-based businesses thrive with joint venture partnerships.

    What can a JV do for your home business? Here are some of the growth possibilities you could experience with your home business through joint ventures:

    Internet Marketing

    Marketing is one of the most grueling tasks for most home business entrepreneurs. You want to focus on doing the business you love, whether it be consulting on retirement investments, designing web sites, or working as a virtual assistant. Marketing means you have to make time in your schedule to generate the business that keeps you in business.

    Thankfully, a joint venture can help. How? Look for a potential joint venture partner who specializes in Internet marketing. These kinds of specialists can help you gain customers or clients in some of the following ways:

    Increased mailing list – Your marketing materials need to get into the hands of your potential customers. Whether it is email or regular mail, you want focused marketing material read by those who will most likely look to purchase your product or service. Signing up with a joint venture marketing specialist can help you get the leads you need to increase business.

    Affiliates – Do you have a product or service that can be sold through affiliates? Using other websites or Internet marketers with high traffic sites may be a great way to increase income. Generally, you don’t have to pay for advertising space with an affiliate. Using affiliates means you agree to split a sale generated from an ad on an affiliate’s website. You get increased revenue and marketing from your affiliate, and they also receive a nice income from sharing their traffic numbers.

    A joint venture with an affiliate is also great for your business due to credibility. A web site with high traffic and subscriber lists carries a lot of weight with its readers. If your affiliate recommends your product to millions of readers, just think what kind of sales that could generate.

    Combine Talents, Products, or Services

    Many home businesses are focused in a specific area of specialty. Bookkeeping, web design, or jewelry making are good examples. Why not join up with a partner and combine your talents to help create more business or make business easier? Trade your bookkeeping skills with a joint venture partner who can design an attractive and workable web site for your services.

    Many home business owners think that online joint ventures are difficult. On the contrary, every other Internet or home business is looking to increase their sales, generate more revenue streams, and gain more clients or customers. With the right approach and proposition, you can help ease your marketing needs with an Internet joint venture.
