One of the most important things you necessarily need to do to grow your business as a coach, speaker and consultant - or if you are into the business of helping people, is to engage what I call "Marketing Partners".
One of the mistakes I made when I newly started in business as a speaker, coach and consultant, was that I tried doing everything by myself.
And the consequence was that I was worn out, I was stressed and could not get the results I truly desired. Not until I heard about "marketing partners" also known as Joint Venture Partners.
Marketing Partners are those individuals, professionals or organization/businesses who already have relationships with the people you want to attract to your business.
You want to look for those businesses that already have a database of the kind of people you want to attract to your business. Then you build relationship with them, and after a period of time, you approach them and they then introduce what you do to their database, promoting you to their contacts/networks often for FREE.
This is an easy low to no-cost marketing strategy you can use to build a steady stream of new clients with minimal effort and no stress!
So what you want to do, when you go to networking meetings or you live in an area where you can connect with other businesses or experts, who already have relationships with your desired target audience or clients.
You want to identify at least five of them - and go out to get and write down their names and contact details (especially email address and phone numbers).
Next you want to figure out what it is you can do that will benefit them? How can you create value for them?
This is important because you first of all want to go out to them and be of tangible, useful value of them in a manner that makes them appreciate and acknowledge you.
Look for what you can do to serve them first.
Once you've gotten a clear idea of how to do that, make your move to connect with them and present your (hopefully irresistibly packaged) offer.
For instance you could recommend people to them, or share ideas with them or just anything that will help them do what they do better.
You would do this so well that they would begin to feel a drive or hunger to find ways to do something on their part that will benefit you in return.
So, let me end by challenging you to go out and commit to looking for Strategic Alliance Partners or Marketing Partners that you can plan and execute Joint Venture marketing campaigns with, to help you build your business.

PS: This article was written based on a short experience sharing video I did while taking my regular Monday morning walk in the neighbourhood park, where I live here in the United Kingdom. This early morning walk actually helps me feel alive, energized and centred. I recommend you try it - you may find it does you good as well.
