111: Kevin Thompson on How to Build JV Relationships

111: Kevin Thompson on How to Build JV Relationships

Having strategic joint ventures partners can help nearly any business grow at a faster rate. Here to tell us his method of how he builds JV relationships is 7-figure online entrepreneur, Kevin Thompson! Kevin’s had the “entrepreneurial bug” since high school. After the untimely passing of his father just before Kevin would have gone off to college, Kevin instead spent 4 years in the Army and then found his way to what is considered the most dangerous job on the planet… A Bering Sea fisherman (like the TV show “Deadliest Catch”). Kevin spent 7 seasons risking his life on the sea to amass $200,000 in savings when he was finally ready to start a business, safely on land! His first venture was a carpet cleaning business. And, while he was not risking his life by cleaning carpets, his business was slowly struggling due to the wrong marketing. What turned his carpet cleaning business around was meeting Joe Polish and discovering some of Joe’s marketing materials and advice. Shortly after implementing Joe’s suggestions, Kevin had one of the top carpet cleaning businesses in his area by catering almost exclusively to high-end homes, which created some major shifts in his way of thinking. The most significant change came from realizing that he enjoyed the marketing side, testing, and teaching others his system more than running his cleaning business. So, he sold the cleaning business 11 years ago and became a full-time online marketer! One of Kevin’s biggest leverage points was to approach people like Joe Polish who had an existing audience of carpet cleaners and other potential joint venture partners with similar audiences like home inspectors to come teach and sell his system at their events. Without necessarily realizing it at the time, Kevin was build his business based on JV partnering. Like many others have noted, Kevin found that high profile influencers and entrepreneurs get approached constantly by others who are looking to take from them. However, what Kevin found from one of his mentors is that almost above all else, people who have attained that level of status value hearing that something they did or something they created helped you in some way. The simple concept of genuine appreciation. Kevin points out, it’s not a “tactic” or a “strategy”, showing sincere appreciation to others is simply a way of being. Our challenge to you is to implement Kevin’s advice and to take the time to send a text message to 15 people in your life who you want to show sincere appreciation to and do it just for the sake of making them feel good, without expecting or asking for anything in return. “Just stand back and watch what happens!”, after sending your texts, Kevin says!

109: Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank on How to Raise Capital Through

109: Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank on How to Raise Capital Through

Joining us today is an entrepreneurial legend, Kevin Harrington, the inventor of TV infomercials and a “Shark” from TV’s Shark Tank! In his 30 years of marketing, Kevin has done over 4 billion dollars in sales through being the first to mass market products like Ginsu knives, the Jack Lalane Juicer, Tony Little’s Gazelle fitness machine, and many, many more. Not every product Kevin touched turned to gold, he notes that there were many failures along the way. But, at every opportunity, even with things that didn’t work, he learned more and more about what did work. In fact, only one out of every 3 or 4 ideas he attempts is a success, which means he sees much more failure than success. His secret is to fail fast and fail cheap. He tests ideas on a smaller level to determine their viability, makes changes if they don’t succeed, and he’s able to cut his relatively small losses if the project doesn’t work out. As entrepreneurs, we have to condition ourselves to be able to expect and handle failure without emotionally crumbling every time it happens. One of the major pillars to Kevin’s success is networking and relationships. The first ever informercial product he brought to market was as a result of attending a trade show. He has partnered with competitors to form non-profit organizations and has constantly put himself in the types of places that create opportunities for himself. In addition to knowing and learning how to sell the products he creates and discovers, Kevin also has to know how to sell himself to potential investors and partner. He shares a few steps of his 10-step system… The first step is, you have to have the perfect pitch for your audience. Kevin advises, “You have 7 seconds to get someone’s attention.” Particularly with seeking investors, Kevin points out that you have to know what that investors sweet spot is. For example, some don’t like start ups, others may be more concerned about growth vs. profits. So, we ask Kevin, when should a business consider raising capital? Kevin says, there are at least 3 reasons to raise capital: 1. To start a business 2. To expand a business 3. To leverage the risk of the business and “cash in” on some of the business equity, such as creating an IPO That capital can come from savvy investors who can also bring their knowledge and contacts to the table, or from more “silent” investors. Kevin suggests that you don’t need to hold out for the investors with experience and connections because you can acquire those things if you have enough capital. Next we ask how a person begins to network and become connected. Kevin’s recommendation is to become a “Key Person of Influence”, (KPI, as he calls it). His “guru” status started with writing a book, which lead to speaking engagements, interviews, podcasts, TV appearances and more. Pretty soon Kevin was everywhere and his authority was evident. One massive tip that Kevin imparts is, that every business owner should be thinking, planning and preparing for raising capital. If you run your business in a way that you’re positioning yourself to become attractive to investors, chances are, you’re going to have a much more successful business. Your financials will be more organized, your research and competitive analysis more thorough, and so on. When speaking to potential investors, your investor wants to know that you are focused on them and concerned about their interest. One strategy Kevin has used is to agree that his investor will receive 100% of the profits from their investment until the full amount they’ve invested has been paid back to them.
