Business Partner WantedSeeking ONE ambitious, smart, entrepreneurial individual to mentor in all aspects of the lucrative software development business. More
than just a mentor, you'll become my 50/50 partner as we develop
and launch
Much easier to explain to friends and family than it is to explain "Internet Marketer", that's for sure. Well, if you qualify...you just might be my next business partner for a highly lucrative software project I have planned. Let me explain... My current six figure software script If you're reading this, you probably already know about the software script I released late last Summer called Opt-in Quiz Generator. Well, that product has done VERY well for me. I created it at just the right time while the buzz was brewing over the high conversion rates possible with quiz landing pages (thank you Eben Pagan). Opt-in Quiz Generator has not hit the six figure mark just yet. But I'm getting pretty darn close to hitting that threshold, and I know for sure that I'll pass the mark within the next 30 days. In fact, not only will I pass the mark...I'll blow way beyond it. The reason I'm so sure is that I have a JV promotion scheduled for May 1st with a very influential Internet Marketer (Willie Crawford) whose list exceeds 120,000. Not only will my sales for the month explode, but my over-all prospect list should grow by thousands (that's going to be very important to you should you become my partner on the new product; I'll tell you why later). Then why do I need a partner? You're probably curious: "If Opt-in Quiz Generator has been so successful, why the heck do you need a business partner for your new software product?" Well, I don't. I don't need a business partner, I want one. I have my reasons, and I'm hoping to keep that on the down-low (if you know what I mean)...but I'll give you the super-quick, minimalist reason behind my choice. But don't go talking about this in the forums or anywhere, please. In January of next year, I'll be launching a premium (that's high-ticket) training program on how anyone can build their own six figure software development business. It'll be a soup to nuts training program on EVERY aspect of the business; finding a need, evaluating the market, outsourcing development, managing the development life cycle, setting up and running technical support, marketing, and TONS of other stuff. (OK, that's already too much info on that. Remember, loose lips sink ships) Back to my reason for If I chose to work with you on this, you will not be expected to have any software business knowledge at all. That's where I come in. I plan on mentoring you in every important area of the business. This mentoring will fall in line with the curriculum I'm developing for my software business training program. You'll receive actual hands-on, practical knowledge of the software business that will enable you to create your own software products in the future. And I'll have a mentor to walk through my program and allow me to find out where I might be missing critical training elements along the way. Plus once we launch our new software product and finally reach the six figure mark, I'll have the PERFECT case study to share with those who will be considering my high-ticket training program. And can you imagine, I'm going to split the profits on this new software business with you 50/50? I'm going to tell you more about the terms of our partnership in a few moments, but it just occurred to me that I should tell you more about my background...my qualifications...why you can be sure I know what I'm doing...and why I'm confident our new software product will reach the six figure mark. From
"Accountant" to "IT Consultant" to I subscribe to the school of thought that a college education doesn't always provide the best return on your dollar or time investment...especially in the case of someone with an entrepreneurial spirit such as myself. But I didn't know any better back then, so I put in my four years and walked away with a degree in Accounting. I shouldn't complain, that degree landed me my first job working as a trainer for a software development company that created accounting software. Wow, that really opened my eyes to the HUGE money-making opportunity that software presented. Jeez, this company was signing six and seven figure contracts left and right. Well, after learning as much as I could...I bailed after about a year or so. My next stop was with an IT Consulting firm. This is where I transitioned from an analyst role, to more of a technical role. They sent me for training on these gigantic database software systems that are often used to run Fortune 1000 businesses. Again, I sucked up as much knowledge and experience as I could in my time there...and then left to seek the big bucks as an independent consultant. My first solo gig was for a giant Wall Street Brokerage Firm (with the initials ML). They brought me in to perform load and stress testing on their first release of ML Online. My second and third gigs brought me into the telecommunications industry. I consulted with (at the time) the Country's largest wireless service provider (VZW), and then the Country's largest long distance provider (Starts with an 'A', ends with a double 'T'). I was charged with maintaining their most critical production database systems. This was a great challenge, but the hours and stress ate at me each day. The commute wasn't much fun either. But my next move was MY SMARTEST move yet... One of the skills I began acquiring while at my earlier jobs was answering proposals for potential client projects my firm was bidding on. This required me to sharpen my writing and communication skills considerably. Having the technical knowledge I did, I was often asked to write white papers on the software or technology I worked with. I performed interviews, and even contributed to the writing of customer case studies. And before I knew it, I was studying the finer points of direct response marketing. Because of these new found skills, I was offered a job with a software firm that specialized in Enterprise Data Storage Solutions. My actual title was "Marketing Copywriter". I created just about every piece of marketing collateral that company published. And again, I gained years more exposure to the software business...and how to most effectively market software. But the corporate world was just too much of a grind...and I craved the freedom (and big money) that going solo had previously offered. So, I left the corporate world for good, and I haven't looked back. During the last couple years I've been enjoying life as a freelance copywriter. Being able to work from home has been great, but I have been a bit envious of my clients. You see, even though they pay me well to write their sales letters...I was only getting a fraction of what they earned from my copy. Taking the next step, I decided it was time to create my own products to market and sell...and software was an obvious choice for me. Deciding what kind of software to create...and if there was an actual market for it...was my initial challenge. But then came along Eben Pagan and his GetAltitude launch. If you watched his videos, he revealed to everyone just how well his opt-in conversion rates were with quizzes. Eben said that his conversion rates with his quizzes were better than his famous double-your-dating style name squeeze page that's been copied by other Internet marketers some 12,000+ times. That's when Eben was gracious enough to give away his "Quiz Creator" software for free. Except, his software didn't work with any of the popular auto responders...and lacked any serious features. So my idea for a software product was born. I wrote the specs for the script, found a developer, and began creating the marketing for the product. And here I am today...a mere 8 1/2 months later...and nearly six figures richer. Do you want in on my next software product? Well, you're going to have to qualify. Don't worry, it's not some crazy contest...I'm not asking you to move to my home town...you don't need to know how to code php. It's nothing like that. I'm look for someone with certain qualities...characteristics... Do you consider yourself ambitious? Are you willing to work hard to reach success? Do you accept constructive criticism well? Are you open to being taught how to do things properly? Do you already posses some marketing skills? If so, you might be the one I'm looking for. Do you have the wherewithal to make a short-term financial investment in the business? If you're living paycheck to paycheck, and you're otherwise broke...this is NOT an opportunity for you. I need to be sure that you're the perfect partner. If you meet the basic requirements that I've set out...and will cover in detail shortly, we'll talk by phone. I'll want to become comfortable with you. You'll want to become comfortable with me. We'll be spending a lot of time talking to each other these next few months. We better make sure we can work together, right? I do expect that I'll end up interviewing at least a handful of potential partners for this opportunity. If you have the right stuff, you just might become the chosen one. What is this new software program? I know you've been thinking about it. You want to know the details of the software product. Well, I can't tell you just yet. I may never tell you. Once we talk on the phone and we've established that we're comfortable with each other, then I'll reveal the details of the product. Here's what I can tell you now though...
Based upon that, this product will get a much faster start than my Opt-in Quiz Generator had...and I expect that we'll easily reach six figures in sales in well under the first year. It could happen in just the first couple months, but I think it's best to keep the numbers conservative. Are you qualified? I already mentioned the qualities...the characteristics I'm looking for in a partner. If you posses them, great. I also mentioned a short-term financial investment. This is where we'll separate the realists from the dreamers... In order to qualify, you must be willing to provide an investment of $10,000 for your mentorship and partnership opportunity. (OK, we just lost a bunch of dreamers. Good, let's move on.) You're investment (actually, it's more like a deposit) of $10,000 is temporary. Yes, temporary. I'll explain in a moment. But let me share with you WHY I'm requiring this deposit on your part... You see, if I didn't require a financial deposit...especially one so steep...I would be bombarded with dozens, upon dozens of potential "partners" who wanted in on this opportunity. I'd spend a month on the phone interviewing them all just to find the needle in the haystack. On top of that, I would still probably end up working with a partner who is not fully committed to the project. That's just what happens when you don't require payment for mentoring someone. I need you to have some "skin in the game". If you invest $10,000...I can be pretty darn sure that I'll have your full attention...and you'll be EXTRA motivated to see this project succeed. You'll want to do everything in your power to make sure the product launches as soon as possible, with the quality our customers would expect...ensuring you're deposit is fully returned from early profits. Which brings me to my next point... How's this really going to work? At the very beginning, I promised you that you would not only be mentored by me in this project...but you'd also be my partner sharing in 50% of the profits. And I meant that too. And if you have any concerns about whether or not I'll actually pay you your 50% share of profits every month...you can put those concerns to rest. Why? Because I'm going to let YOU pay ME my 50% each month. We'll put the payment processing in YOUR name...with funds being deposited into YOUR bank. I trust you. That's why we'll have had some extensive phone conversations before I even chose you as my partner. Let me explain the part about the $10,000 deposit being temporary... As I first mentioned, it's very important to me that you have "skin in the game". But as long as you do your part and don't bail on me, we'll be launching this new project in about 10 weeks. And when we do, the first $10,000 of sales will go directly to you. That will be a return of your investment. You'll have received a good education on the software business. I'll have fine-tuned my software business training program content. And from that point forward we'll be back on even ground sharing in profits 50/50. Can I be any more fair or generous than that? What about development costs? I've already got a development team in place that will code the software for us, and will handle most of our web design needs. I'll keep detailed records of these actual costs, and I'll pay for any and all expenses out of my own pocket until AFTER the product has launched. Once your initial $10,000 deposit has been returned, we'll take the next couple thousand in sales to reimburse the development and startup costs (Estimated to be about $2,000). This ensures that you won't need any further monies to cover startup costs. I'll take care of them upfront. You're now a "Software Entrepreneur" Just to be clear. This is not some "Business in a Box". It's not a "Coaching Program". It's not a "Private Label Rights" thing. It's a true software business in which we will be partners, sharing profits 50/50. Let me quickly review:
So where else do you think you'd ever see an opportunity like this? An opportunity where your odds for success are practically guaranteed? An opportunity where you're investment will be returned in under 90 days? An opportunity that has the potential to return tens of thousands of dollars in profits over the following year? I think you'd be hard pressed to find this opportunity ANYWHERE else. And you only have ONE shot at being THE one. We need to talk... As I mentioned earlier, the first step in my selecting a partner for this venture will be a "Get to know each other" phone call. I'm blocking out time on both Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon of this week. Which day is better for you? Email me here:
...with your preferred day and time, and I'll reply with a confirmation of our scheduled call.
