...Because offer is not very targeted. This is a major mistake. If deal is not very targeted, it will flop. Most people know this, and will avoid you if your offer isn’t a tight fit.

...Because proposal is long-winded. Be as short and concise as possible, without letting key information out that would permit your prospect to make an educated decision.

…Because offer isn’t interesting enough for potential partner. If people are used to splitting profits 50 / 50, why not offer more? (A lot of endorsers won’t even bother reading your proposal if you don’t offer them at least 60%). If you can afford it (and you can, if you have back-end products to sell right after to new clients you’ll be getting) give them almost all, if not all of profits.

That will increase chances of them saying yes and you’ll be making a nice profit afterwards. Whatever profits you will make will be a lot more than if you didn’t get deal happening... and it may be beginning of a very profitable long-term relationship.

Or give them 100% of profits for first X products they sell. If you are product owner, are you willing to give a special rebate to list owner’s clients? Can you give extra bonuses to them and them only? What else could you do to spice up offer or make it exclusive?

…Because proposal is poorly written. Be sure to write your proposal carefully and to proofread it several times before firing it off. An excellent way to find mistakes in whatever you write is to read it out loud. Have someone else proofread it.

Don’t just slap something together. Your prospects will avoid working with people who can’t even spell well, let alone string a sentence together.

Once you get an endorsement from someone, use it on all your advertising and marketing material. Put their endorsement and picture on your Web site. Use their testimonial in your ads. Include it on your product packages.

An endorsement can increase your sales fast. It gives credibility to your product or service. People will usually believe a person that's not related to your business before they will believe you.
