Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Do research and create a thoughtful outreach email
2. Send out the email and follow up
3. Have a conversation to develop a joint venture partnership

1. Do research and create a thoughtful email.

The first step in creating a thoughtful email for a joint venture partnership is to do research. It is important to understand the person or organization you are reaching out to and any details about their current situation and needs. In the example given, research would have included learning about Marie Mack, her current partnerships, and her goals for her client. By doing research ahead of time, you can establish yourself as a knowledgeable person and demonstrate that you have put in the effort to understand their needs. 

In addition to researching the person or organization, you also need to craft a thoughtful email. This email should provide an overview of your goals and how you can help the other party. Be sure to include any necessary details such as the value of the partnership and why it is beneficial for both parties. It is also important to make sure the email is clear and concise. Any additional information should be included in a follow-up communication. Finally, it is important to remember that cold outreach can be a delicate process, so be mindful of the other person’s time and feelings.

2. Send out the email and follow up.

The next step in creating a successful joint venture partnership is to build the relationship. Once you have crafted your email, it is important to follow up to ensure that your message was received and to show that you are invested in the relationship. To follow up, it is recommended to send emails at least four times over the course of a week and to include a personalized message each time. Additionally, you can also follow up with a LinkedIn message or other type of communication to make sure the message was received. By following up, you are showing that you are invested in the relationship and are willing to put in the effort to make a meaningful connection.

It is important to not only reach out with a thoughtful email, but to also be available and responsive to any follow-up questions or requests. Be sure to be open and honest about your goals and what you expect from the partnership. You should also make a point to stay in touch with the other party on a regular basis. This could include sending helpful information, offering support, or simply checking in to see how they are doing and how the partnership is going. Finally, it is important to be patient and take a long-term approach when forming a joint venture partnership. It may take some time to find the right partner and establish a strong relationship. 

3. Have a conversation to develop a joint venture partnership.

Once you have connected with potential joint venture partners, it is important to schedule a meeting to further discuss the potential partnership. A meeting allows you to have a meaningful conversation with the potential partner and to get to know each other better and create a strong foundation for the partnership. This can be done through a phone call, video chat, or even an email exchange. Before jumping into the conversation, it’s important to do research as you will need to explain what you can do to help the other person’s business. Additionally, it is important to discuss the goals of the partnership and to create a plan for how you will work together. During the meeting, it is also important to discuss the potential benefits of the joint venture and how they will help each party achieve their goals. A joint venture partnership is a two-way street and should be mutually beneficial.

Once you’ve had your conversation and discussed the potential of a joint venture partnership, it’s time to move onto the next step. This will involve an email exchange to ensure that everyone is on the same page with regards to the terms of the agreement. The final step in developing a joint venture partnership execute the terms of your agreement and track the metrics.

Leveraging strategic alliances is an important tool for entrepreneurs to drive growth. By doing the necessary research, crafting thoughtful emails, and building a strong relationship, entrepreneurs can develop powerful joint venture partnerships that will help them reach their goals. Marie Mack shared her journey and provided tangible advice on how to make the best use of cold outreach, research, and conversations to reach impactful connections. Don’t forget – with hard work, dedication, and a thoughtful approach, you too can leverage strategic alliances to grow your business.
