Finding good business partners is vital to any business. I try to explain this to new people all the time when building their business. Everybody is a possibility but not anybody qualifies. In the beginning I admit we all do the same thing, we begin asking even begging everybody to become a business partner. I know, ;( its embarrassing. I look back at some things & then ask myself “What was I thinking”????
It’s OK though we all have to learn somehow. That’s why knowledge is power & you must obtain the knowledge then use it.
As we learn more about our business we learn that this really is serious business. We need to be more selective & a bit more reserved so we start to qualify people differently. We learn that this is a business so we must qualify business minded people. Business minded people are just different. I mean not all business people are good but they do understand that in order to start a business you need to invest time & money. I’m not saying that a person who has never had a business does not qualify, absolutely not but they do need to think like a business person in order to start a business.
I’m looking for business partners that when I sit with them & I show them this amazing opportunity they begin asking questions to move forward. –I love this, when I plant a seed in an entrepreneurs mind, that night they can’t sleep. I remember when I 1st saw it I couldn’t sleep…I remember just going over the numbers in my mind over & over again even as I showered the next day. My mind was wrecked! But not everyone sees the same thing so you can’t take it personal if they don’t see what you saw it’s OK really it is.
I’m looking for people that will call me to confirm our follow-up appointment because they went through all the information & they are ready to move forward. I’m totally aware that follow-up is key in my part but I’m looking for people that are aggressive so picking up that phone & confirming is a great sign of a gonow business partner ;) There is nothing like a new partner blowing up your phone!
I’m looking for business partners that will invest in their business from the time they fill out that application.
I’m looking for people that register their business & within the first week they call me to tell me that they have a business meeting booked for their top 10 & I need to be there!
I’m looking for people that will say “Get out of my way” take the bull by the horns & do this business with or without me!
To find qualified people like that you do have to be patient but the more you look the more you find ;)
