I hear the whining every single day it seems. “Why won’t anybody JV with me?” I then ask the person what they’ve done and I immediately know what the problem is. Well, if you’re one of those people who are sitting there scratching their heads wondering why they can’t get anybody to JV with them, you might want to read this article. I promise you it will be a real eye opener.

Probably the biggest mistake that marketers make is thinking that their offer is the greatest thing since sliced bread and that there is no possible way that the person you approach can pass it up. News flash my friend…these people get great offers almost on a daily basis. Yours, no matter how good it is, is no different. So no matter how good you think it is, it doesn’t matter. Great offers are a dime a dozen. Deal with it.

Aside from that, marketers approach potential JV partners like they were a side of beef. The emails they send are obviously cookie cutter and probably the same email sent to everybody in creation. There is nothing personal about the email at all. There is certainly nothing in it to make the potential JV partner feel all warm and fuzzy. Contrary to popular belief, JV partners are not robots and they actually like to be made to feel that they’re more than just a means to an income.

Another problem is that there is no thought put into the actual offer itself. Not really anyway. For example, you’d be surprised how many people don’t even have a product ready to send to the person they approach or expect that person to say yes WITHOUT seeing the product. I don’t know about you, but I don’t promote anything unless I’ve gone over it with a fine tooth comb. There is a lot of crap out there and I don’t want any part of it.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as problems, though these three items are probably the three biggest reasons why you can’t get a JV. So do yourself a favor. If you really want to partner with somebody, forget about wowing them with your great offer. That alone won’t do it. Instead, work on developing a relationship and make sure you have everything planned out ahead of time before even approaching the person. At least then, you’ll have a snow ball’s chance.
