Earn Dollars Online: 3 Off Beat Ways for a JV Partner to say Yes Instantly through Your Proposal


I figure there are at least three distinct but interrelated motivations ... or demonstrations that stop the action in its tracks.

The first, quite legitimately and obviously, is time. Business people or the “doers” in the business world at least, seem to work at a frenetic pace. And anything new across the desk is an
intrusion.


To pull off what you’re doing to think about something new (that someone else sees as important) may be just too much to handle. So it gets put in that cold place called a “back burner”. 

So, to get action, we clearly need to demonstrate to the recipient that the time needed to pull off doing the other things they’re doing is FAR outweighed by the rewards they’ll get.

And to achieve that, we need to do more than simply present the logic of “dollars and cents”. 
The successful person is already making plenty of those ... so unless our proposal entails MEGA dollars, they really won’t be sidetracked by that argument.

Second. And that leads me to point number two. Your proposal must be consistent with the
“doer’s” vision ... their “main stream” activity. “Doers” have a passion for where they’re going.

They are single-minded---Focused like a laser. So before we present our case, we need to determine what their priorities are and structure our proposal in a way that what WE want, gives them what THEY want.

I think it’s instructive to think of this “doer” as swimming the English Channel against the tide. They know where they’re going. They know if they stop striving in that direction for any length of time, they’re going to go backwards or drift away from their objective.

So with that picture in mind, what can YOU offer them that will (a) either help
them GET there faster...or (b) that it is so damn compelling, they’ll stop swimming and
start doing what you want...

I think you’ll agree, it makes you see how darn compelling your proposal must be!

Third. That leads me to the third and final point. To get a proposal acted upon by a busy
doer when the content is outside their precise focus, YOU have to make it EASY. You have to “sell” your proposal by…

Doing most if not ALL the thinking and execution. You may have to write all the letters, design their brochure if there’s to be one, develop all the follow-up letters and even project out their sales figures from the venture ... even offer to put someone in their office to DO the project and to deal directly with their customers if that’s what it takes.

Make it so easy that all they have to do is bank the money.
