To those seeking partners, may I make a few suggestions to make requests for partners more successful?
1. State what role you want the partner to perform. I am clueless as to the role that sc101 would like the partner to perform. Is it:
(i) a capital contributing silent partner role (i.e. playing no active role in the business - just getting a share of the profits)? or
(ii) a capital contributing partner role (i.e. playing an active role in the business)? If so, what operational role/duties would the partner be expected to perform? or
(iii) an operational partner (i.e. playing an active role in the business but contributing no capital)? If so, what operational role/duties would the partner be expected to perform?
2. If a capital contribution is required, give an approximate figure eg between $25,000 and $50,000. You don't have to make your confidential business information publically available so just give a range eg if you thought you needed (according to your budget)$33,000, then I would say "capital required: between $25,000 and $50,000.
3. Specify the opportunity and your competitive advantage - eg "The Healthcare Industry Is going Into a crisis mode for lack of skilled nurses(Registered Nurses). Our strong online systems make it relatively easy for both RNs and prospective employers to register with us and for us to match RNs with job opportunities. Our overheads are lower yet our job matching response times are shorter"
If you do these things, I am sure your success rate will be better and you won't be wasting your time talking with people who don't meet your needs.
