  1. "90% of the internet is p**n, right?

    So I'm starting an internet cafe so guys can surf surf w/o the fear of the wife beat-down!"

    The guys in the group will understand.


  2. When I started my business, I got help from the internet, just google it and you can find samples that guide you. just make sure you include lots of positives, and show that you have everything thoughtout and planned out.

  3. 1. Find out about your potential partner by talking to them, reading their mission statement and researching them – as well as learning how they make decisions. This will reveal the "buttons" that you’ll need to press as you describe the benefits of the partnership (ie. more profits, something new to offer their clients, giving their business a new edge on competition, etc.).

       2. Make an offer they can’t refuse. Again, this will also take some research, but within reason, you should bend over backwards to accommodate your potential partner and make it as profitable for them as possible. Remember that the clients you acquire from a joint venture will purchase from you again and again – and it’s usually the "back end profit" after the JV where the real money gets made...

       3. Make it as easy as possible for them to say "yes". People in general are obnoxiously lazy. Many of proposals have been rejected simply because they either seem too complicated – or it sounds like too much work, regardless of how lucrative they are. Simplify your proposal, and if necessary, take on the majority of the workload – remember that you’re sitting on a goldmine!

       4. Show them the money. Don’t be vague when it comes to potential earnings. Logically explain to your prospect how much they could reasonably earn from the partnership. It is very important that you do not simply make an "educated guess" – base your predictions entirely on your current marketing stats, sales conversion rates and other real data. This is likely the most overlooked – yet crucial – part of any given JV proposal.

       5. Be personal. A "canned" or impersonal proposal likely won’t even make it more than ten seconds before getting tossed in the garbage. Relate to your prospect and emphasize their values by validating their interests, goals and passions. Also, if you want to really make an impact, send your proposal as a hard copy via FedEx. Email is simply too easy to ignore, erase or forget about.

       6. Add a real sense of urgency. You want to subtly hint to your potential partner that you won’t wait long to hear back from them – which is true, because if they say “no�?, you’ll have to find someone else anyway. Word this in such a way that it compels them to action either way – but don’t be overbearing, deceptive or unrealistic.

       7. Build rapport with your prospect. You must understand that the majority of business people – especially those that are very successful – would much rather work with someone that they know, like and trust than a complete stranger. In fact, it’s crucial that you do this before you even send them a proposal.

  4. I'm presuming that you are writing this proposal to approach your banker for funding, correct?

    Your business proposal (or plan) must be thoroughly thought out and well-written. In short, remember the six "P's" - people, place, product, price, promotion and packaging. Flush out the details for all of these. In your plan, introduce the business idea, explain why you (and, potentially, any partners) are the best people to operate this business, define your customers, analyze your competition, include marketing strategies and attach an operating budget for the first three years in business.

    Explain why this business idea appeals to you, why and how it will work, what location you're looking at and why. How much of your own money can you invest? Do you have any further investors? Ensure you also attach an Executive Summary - basically, a one or two page shortened version of your entire report ... your banker will read this first and, only if this tweaks the interest, will he/she continue.

    You could very likely find books on business plans at your local library ... check a few out and read these through.

    Good luck with it!
