The Secrets of Selling From Stage
Official Newsletter with Dr Joanna Martin

Hi!
Welcome to Behind the Scenes for this week. 

In this week’s newsletter:

-  Where in the world are Joey and Greg?

-  An interview with the Queen of Joint Ventures: Janet Beckers on “How to Approach a Speaker to get a Spot on their Stage”

-  Joanna recommends the Secrets of Selling From Stage Mentoring Program- we’re having a Free Teleseminar for members on Thursday the 9th of April details below…

This week Greg and I are down in Tasmania staying with my Mum and Step-father at Lewisham.  The view from where I’m typing this today is absolutely spectacular- out over the water and looking back towards Mt Wellington.  The sun is streaming in the window and earlier today I enjoyed just lying down on the grass and doing the crossword in the local paper.  Mum will be distraught when she gets home and sees that I’ve finished it- we usually do it together.  By the way does anyone know a six letter word for pig-like animals starting with T?
 
Last weekend we were up on Gold Coast at Andrew and Daryl’s “Look Inside the Grants Internet Business”.  I shared the stage with some awesome speakers such as Andrew and Daryl (of course), Darren Stephens, and the lovely Janet Beckers.  Janet and I did a spot of networking (in the ladies where Janet does most of her networking!)- and I managed to corner her to shoot this week’s Behind the Scenes Tip.

"How to Approach a Speaker to get a Spot on their Stage"

Tips to approaching a potential JV partner:

1. Be prepared: have your business card ready with a little note about your intention to contact them stapled to it.
2. Don't interrupt them. Especially avoid times such as immediately after a sales offer, and before they are about to go on stage.
3. Be brief, but memorable when you approach them.
4. Focus on "how you can help them".
5. Remember that joint ventures are long term relatonships- not one night stands!
6. Make sure you follow up by contacting them after the event.
