One of the students enrolled in my 1-year Joint Venture
Broker Certification Training dropped out for personal
reasons.
That opened up a slot for one new student, who is just
the right person.
I very closely control the number of students that I
have at any one time because they do all actually have
direct contact with me and I work directly with each
of them as they physically step through the process
of brokering several joint ventures over the course of
a year.
I do feel comfortable taking on one additional, mature,
responsible student who is largely a self-starter.
The following is a description of the training:
A Snapshot Of My Joint Venture Broker Training And
Certification Program
Since 2004, I have earned a major portion of my online
income from brokering joint ventures. What I basically
do is go out and recruit, and motivate affiliates for
other people?s product launches.
I also use my 16 years of internet marketing experience
to review EVERYTHING about the product that I?m helping
to launch including the product itself, the entire
sales funnel, etc.
So, my JV brokering also equates to a consultation. I
do offer regular consultations, on an hourly, monthly
and annual (retainer) basis. You can read a little
more about that on my site at:
http://williecrawford.com/mentoring.html
Before I take on clients as a JV broker, for consultation,
or as a student, I put them through a mini-interview.
That?s because I absolutely insist upon only working with
people that I like and resonate with. Life is too short to
get stuck working with people (or on projects) that you
don?t really care for.
I work as a joint venture broker from my cell phone and
laptop as I travel the world, take several exotic cruises
a year, and enjoying life. For example, this year, I
will take trips to Australia, Hawaii, the UK, Thailand,
and The Philippines (two trips to the Philippines).
I can afford this lifestyle because, as a joint venture
broker, I get paid 10% of the gross revenue generated
by all of the affiliates that I recruit for my clients. I
don?t typically take on projects that I think will make
less than $500,000 in sales, and I focus on projects that
will make several million in sales. So that 10% adds up.
At the same time, I choose to only take on a few projects
per year? based upon how much I want to work.
The reason that a joint venture broker gets paid so
handsomely is that it?s generally a lot easier to create
a product, and sales process, than it is to get large list
owners to promote your product. The large list owners and
centers-of-influence often get approached DOZENS of times
per month requesting that they promote products.
My training teaches you how to identify, contact, and
convince these large list owners, and centers-of-influence
to agree to and then actually PROMOTE your clients products.
I put my students through 60 hours of recorded training
(videos from live training workshops that I?ve taught and
audio from tele-classes that I?ve taught). After the 60
hours of recorded training, then you are ready to begin a
full YEAR of hands-on training.
For the next year, I work hand-in-hand with the apprentice
joint venture broker as you help clients to flow out and
then carry out a product launches.
I work with you on as many projects as you do in that year,
but YOU do the work, I don?t. If I?m going to do all of the
work, then I would simply be the joint venture broker for
the launch myself.
In my 16 years as an internet marketer, I?ve seen many more
product launches fail, or succeed only marginally, than I
have seen achieve major success. Most internet marketing
gurus don?t talk about their failures that often, but I?m
friends with most of the old-timers, and we talk about what
has and hasn?t worked among ourselves.
Entrepreneurs who create and launch their own products are
risk-takers by nature, and they don?t realistically expect
everything that they do to succeed massively. Entrepreneurs
realize that you have singles, home-runs, and that sometimes
you strike out. Entrepreneurs earn more than the average
person because they are crazy enough to take the necessary,
calculated risks!
I?ve had behind-the scenes looks at literally hundreds of
product launches. I?ve gone through all of the major
(and many minor) courses on product launches and brokering
joint ventures (deal making) and as a result am a
storehouse of practical knowledge.
I?m trained as a classroom instructor, and in my military
background, I trained as an instructor in a life-and-death
environment. I trained students to navigate aircraft and
do airdrops in an environment where a mistake could
literally kill many people? including the young
paratroopers that I?ve air-dropped tens of thousands of.
As a result of my experience, I understand transferring
practical skills to a student, and stepping them through
handling the stresses of ?the heat of battle!? Make no
mistake about it, when you are orchestrating a multi-
million dollar (or even $300,000) product launch, and
you are in the middle of the launch, and things are not
going as anticipated, it?s as stressful as any battle that
I?ve seen.
Soldiers plan things in excruciating detail, knowing that
every plan changes, often drastically, in the heat of
battle, and that there is a reason that they call it ?the
fog of war.?
I step my clients through this process, and often things
go exactly as planned, but somethings we encounter
unexpected circumstances.
I work hand-in-hand with my students, as they step their
clients through this process.
The ability to engineer or facilitate a successful product
launch is one that people don?t mind paying 10% (or more)
for. They understand that if their launch fails, 100% of
nothing in NOTHING. Many product owners also understand
the concept of a 2-tier affiliate program, so they also
view your JV broker?s fee as akin to a 2nd-tier commission,
but as a broker, you can also often negotiate an additional
upfront fee. That extra fee is akin to a consultation fee.
If you actually looked at the webpage that I gave you the
url to earlier: http://williecrawford.com/mentoring.html
you?ll see that small business owners who retain my services
pay me $50,000 per year largely to be able to call me up
from time to time (or meet with me face-to-face when they
travel to where ever I am at).
Those who don?t anticipate needing my services for a year
can call me from time to time to discuss projects for $5000
per month. I charge $3000 to review an ebook or piece of
software? and offer feedback on it?s feasibility during
a product launch.
My apprentice joint venture brokers pay me a mere $10,000
for me to transfer my 16 years of internet marketing and
product launch knowledge to them. I transfer that knowledge
the same way that I do to students that I instruct in the
martial arts. I assess where they are, and I move them as
fast as they prove to me that they are ready for. To move
you faster than you are really ready for only does you a
disservice.
I?ve studied, and taught the martial arts for over 30 years,
so I understand conveying knowledge and skill in a practical
manner. I have taken clumsy, fragile kids, and turned them
into amazing, confident, skilled individuals. That?s also
what I do with apprentice joint venture brokers.
I am totally dedicated to your success, should you desire
to become an apprentice, but that also means that I don?t
want to accept you as a student unless you are really,
really serious.
When I first started karate, my instructor had only 5 regular
students. It was at NC State University, and unless I?m
mistaken, I was his only student who was not a graduate
student or professor.
He had one of these students show me ONE ?kata,? and then
he required me to practice it for a month before deciding
if I really wanted to join the dojo. After the month, when
he could see that I would be committed to the grueling 4-hour
once-a-week group workouts, plus daily practice on my own, he
accepted me. I?m still his student 33 years later? still
VERY teachable.
I?ve raised the bar as high for apprentice joint venture
brokers because when a product owner comes to you, they
quite literally are trusting you with the success or
failure of their businesses. I won?t put my seal of
approval on anyone who isn?t totally committed to
taking care of those clients? putting the client?s best
interest first.
For the student unable, or unwilling to pay the $10,000
upfront, I offer then the option of paying $997 per month,
for a year. In both cases, my recorded training, and much
of my one-on-one training, and resources (such as example
contracts, swipe files, case-studies) is offered via a
membership site.
After the full year, students who wish to continue under
my guidance, still pay a negotiable monthly fee. At that
point, they will be black-belt joint venture brokers, but
as any experienced martial artist will tell you, reaching
the black-belt level means that you?ve only demonstrated
that you have what it takes for a lifetime of continuing
to learn and hone your skills.
So there you have a snapshot of my training. In-case
you didn?t do the math, with my training, just one $300k
joint venture, properly brokered, will earn you $30k. A
$2 million product launch pays you $200,000. As I?m sure
that you can imagine, it DOES take a lot of skill to be
worth that much to a product owner.
People happily pay me that much for brokering joint
ventures, and I get approached to broker many times more
product launches than it is reasonable for me to even
consider taking on. When I say no, I?m often asked to
recommend someone else. I often recommend one of my
apprentices.
My training and certification does also include handing
you a number of pre-screened joint ventures for you to
broker during the year. After the year is over, I?ll
continue referring projects to you because I will know
beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are capable of taking
exceptional care of the client.
If this sounds like a career that you would like to
pursue, feel free to email me at:
willie.crawford@gmail.com with the subject line,
?Interested In Being A Joint Venture Broker? and I will
get back to you to confirm that I feel we should work
together.
If I decline to take you on as a student, please don?t
take it personally. Life is simply too short to spend
with people who will waste your time. There is a lot
to learn, and much of it will only be mastered through
practical application. So, I?ll be committing to
holding your hand as you master my craft. I don?t make
that commitment lightly.
