Power Partners

Your Power Partners will be those who supply your clients with services on a regular basis. They will consist of Printers, Photographers, Graphic Artists, Web Site Designers and Marketing firms.

The conversations with these Power Partners should indicate your willingness to include them as you become aware of companies that need their services. It is important you meet with these Power Partners in person the first time, and then keep in touch with them weekly through email or phone conversations.

Requirements

You will need to have excellent typing, organization and project planning skills, as well as a computer to create a database, a tracking system and invoices. A professionally designed website is not necessary and an outgoing personality is extremely important. You will also need to have reliable transportation.

You could also expand your endeavors to the point of locating the clients and managing other typists, then negotiating either finder’s fees for projects or a percentage of the project fees. This would give you unlimited income and eliminate the need for you to do the work yourself.
