How can you grow your partner's business?The process of receiving orders and shipping and tracking goods sold through direct marketing is called fulfillment. Common sense suggests that every company cannot produce or market products to suit every person, purpose and purse in the market place.

How can you grow your partner's business?The mugger grabbed the woman’s purse, pushed her against her car, and ran away… straight into a golf cart driven by campus police. The mugger was caught, placed in handcuffs, and held until county sheriff’s deputies arrived to take the miscreant away. The woman got her purse back. Then, turning to the security camera covering the action in the parking lot, Campus Police Sergeant Jack Emmett gave a thumbs-up to Campus Police Chief Sam Acres… and unhandcuffed Campus Police Officer Gregory Layne. The test was a success.Fraleigh College isn’t the only gathering-place installing security cameras in order 4. RESPECT YOUR PARTNER: What you do reflects on the reputation of your partner. Conduct yourself with integrity and professionalism. If I am promoting "Joe Schmo's" product, I expect Joe to treat my customers with respect and offer outstanding customer service. If Joe doesn't answer his emails, offers bad customer support, or his product doesn't "work" – then that reflects badly on his partner's reputation. == WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER == Here are a few ideas on how partners can work together to promote each other. 1. CROSS PROMOTION: When you endorse each other's products, it's important that you TRY and BELIEVE in the product. A personal testimonial is a powerful sales tool. Partner's can agree to swap ads or articles in each other's ezines or send promotional endorsements to each other's email lists. 2. BUNDLING: Another JV idea is to bundle your packages together. Bundling works best when the product complements yours. But, be careful that their product doesn't overshadow yours. Also, don't pile on so many bonuses that the offer becomes unbelievable. An offer too good to be true may raise doubts in the consumer's mind. 3. PRODUCT SWAP: Agree to "swap" products with your partner and offer them as a prize. Give the prize away in a contest or do a random drawing to one lucky subscriber. 4. JOIN FORCES AS A VIRTUAL COMPANY: Partner with companies who offer services related to yours. Your customers will enjoy the convenience of one-stop-shopping. By cross promoting each other, you'll BOTH gain new customers. Don't limit yourself to partners who are close to you geographically. With fax and email your associates can be located anywhere in the world. == IN SUMMARY == Take a minute to look up from your busy desktop and dream about WHO you would like to work with! Open up your mind to the possibilities. The INTERNET makes the world a small place. You could potentially partner with ANYONE, ANYWHERE! Get to work writing a smashing proposal and YOU TOO could be tapping into the power of partnerships to promote your business.
