Former Co-Worker Spilled the beans on his Son-In-Law's Consistent 5 figure weekends
Anyway, we got to talking about his daughter and what she did for a living. I found it interesting, because what she was doing, is something my niece actually wanted to do. Then my ears really perked up when we got onto what his Son in Law does for a living and the fact he makes 5 figures consistently just for 2 days of work. In fact, I almost spit out my soda when he told me how much money he makes.
I'm not telling you this story so you can go out and mimic it exactly. (though some of you with the right experience and motivation could and will make a killing if you do.) I'm telling you this, so you can adapt it, think outside the box with it, twist it, and use it for your offline clients or make it into a new type of business based on your own skills, knowledge, and abilities.
His son in law had sold cars. However, as some of you may or may not know, selling cars for a dealership is a dual edged sword. Sure, if you know enough people, you can build up a pretty decent amount of people who will come in and buy from you, and send family and friends to you. However, the problem is, it often takes a lot of time to get to easy street in this regard.
Sure the dealerships advertise (they spend a lot on advertising) but really they throw you as a sales person to the wolves.
So, what did he decide to do? He decided to take matters into his own hands and control the entire sales process.
How did he do this?
Well, you see, he recruited a few of his friends who were also very good at selling cars to help him.
What he does, is he contacts big car dealerships, talks to the General Manager of the dealership (most owners of big dealerships are ghosts at their dealerships, they rely strictly on their GM, they only stop in maybe once a week or even once a month) asks them how their sales are doing? Most of them are going to bitch and moan (car dealers can never have enough sales.)
He then makes them a deal they can't refuse. He tells them him and his team are new car marketing and sales specialists, if they give him a chance, he will get them 6-7 figures in gross sales.
Usually not many dealerships are going to refuse to hear someone out who can help them make an additional 6-7 figures in gross sales.
What exactly he does
Once he has an interested dealership he hammers out the contract with the dealership, more on that below. He finds out exactly what kind of deals he can make, in other words, what vehicles he can slash prices on, any special financing, etc...
Once he has all this information, he starts his media blitz. He runs ads in the paper, radio ads, and some tv commercials, for a week. It's a weekend only blow out.
He then drives/flies himself and his team to the location of the dealership (yes he does this nationwide)
He gets there on the Friday before the sales weekend and makes sure everything will be in place. He prepares the regular sales staff for the onslaught they're going to get.
Once that weekend arrives him and his team work their asses off selling cars like crazy.
After the sale event is over, he gets 10-20%+ commission on every vehicle sold. (This was previously hammered out in the contract with the dealership)
I know someone is going to ask about the advertising. He tries to get the dealership to pay for the advertising. Because so many dealerships already pay a ton for advertising, this usually isn't a problem. They just have to do it "his way." for a week. However, if they don't want to do it that way, he will pay for the advertising out of his pocket but then his commission on every vehicle sold will go up drastically.
Every weekend he does this him and his team make 5 figures for 3 days, only 2 days of which are actual "work."
Just thought I'd share this with you.
As I said, for some of you with the proper background, you could probably take this as is and run with it. Others of you will just have to think about it, twist it, adapt it, and you too could be raking in a small fortune for a few days worth of "work."
