I'm starting ALL potential partner talks with "NO"
You may or may not like this approach for yourself, but it's working well for me lately.
With EVERY new potential partner I connect with, I assume it's a NO and I need good reasons for it to become a YES.
Just today, I had a person who does "social media story-selling: telling stories on social media that get you paid"... and guess what she wanted...
you already know...
someone to sell her program for her.
Basically, her story-selling system doesn't work for her, but she wants to sell it to other people.
Her email list was just over 500 and she had different levels of followers on the social channels.
I immediately told her, "I wouldn't be much good for you."
She wanted explanations. She ain't gettin em.
Then I had a call with someone else today who I assumed is a NO for me.
Turns out, he's got a group where he teaches podcasters to make money.
And he's just partnered with a podcaster with a 50k list who claims 46% opens.
I've potentially got the 10 of hearts for them.
He's going to look into the partner more and get back to me.
I'm still a NO, but the right conditions make me a YES.
For me, this is much better than starting at YES and needing to be whacked with a 2x4 to become a NO.
I hope this helps in some way.
