🤝 How to unlock an 8-figure partnership

How to find a killer business partner to scale with

One of my portfolio companies is about to unlock an 8-figure partnership.

This business unit was built with one intention:

Deliver elite results and be a premier service provider.

Here’s how we’re going to add $1-$2M in annual revenue—FAST.

The Approach

I was approached by an 8-figure business owner with hundreds of clients.

He asked if he could white-label our service.

I countered with a joint venture (JV) instead:

“Equal partnership. Equal profit share. You handle sales, and we’ll do the rest.”

This would turn the business into completely passive income for him.

With his established client base, and our ability to funnel them into our offer…

We anticipate hitting $1M in no time.

Get to the Promised Land

To reach your dream agency outcome, you need to hire someone who's been there. We’ve helped 800+ agencies succeed. Like:

Samuel who added $250k MRR

Tarun who added $60k MRR

Miquel who 4X’d in 2 months

Here are 3 things to look for in a good business partner:

1. Find someone with an 8-figure business and hundreds of clients.

2. Niche: The smaller the better (Ecom, SaaS, and agencies don’t count here).

Examples:

  • HVAC

  • Surgeons

  • Law firms

  • Accounting firms

3. Build the relationship first.

Partnerships grow from trust. Aim to form a relationship before making a pitch.

A few good ways to do this:

  • Podcasting: Bring prospective partners on.

  • Host events and get speakers

  • If you want to go straight for the kill? Work for free.

8-figure founders don’t want to be bothered.

If you’re willing, offer to build an entire department or service for their brand for free…

And only partake in the profits via upside.

Pro tip: Come with case studies.

And there you have it:

Find the right partner, offer a win-win structure, and scale fast.

If you’d like even more tools to put your agency on a growth rocketship…

Stay happy, stay hungry,
