Selling MILLIONS in used office furniture for HUGE COMMISIONS!
Hey Warriors,
There is somebody that I have done business with in the past who is a used furniture dealer. He buys furniture from large office buildings and businesses that have either closed down or relocated. It's easier for these huge corporations to just leave the furniture where it is and sell it to someone for pennies on the dollar, instead of paying to relocate multiple floors of furniture.
He recently purchased 5 FLOORS with of office furniture with an as is value of over $1.5 million from a large multinational investment firm. Everything from Executive furniture, to cubilcles, room partitions, telemarketing desks etc.
Most of it needs to be sold within 13 days, which is when the building needs to cleared to make room for new tenants. The rest that remains will be transported to a warehouse my associate owns. The more furniture he has to transport, the smaller the margins become. He has now asked for my help in selling and marketing it.
Here are some of the ways i will sell it. I still need more ideas though - My goal is to get the to the building or warehouse to see the furniture and then to have them BUY. We will deliver for a fee.
Anybody have experience doing this or something similar that they could share?
Let's see what we come up with! This process can be repeated for any number of products!

- Craigslist posting - This is how they get most of their customers. They usually post 20-25 ads per day locally. I will scale this up. Not sure about posting too far away however because most people will want to come and see the furniture, and shipping to far can get expensive.
- Sites like LinkedIn, Manta posting/activity - Not sure exactly how to utilize these, but I will look for the right groups, post about 25 times per day, and look for new businesses. Any ideas on people or groups I should target?
- Email Marketing- I plan on setting up a campaign in mailchimp, having a good email copy written (ANY IDEAS ON WARRIORS THAT CAN HELP?). Also where can I get a good local email list of local businesses.
- Lead Lists - I want to get some lists of local leads. I'm looking for new small, medium, and large businesses witnin 50-75 miles of MIAMI, FL. Any idea where I can get some good lists?
- Website - I have started building a website that will get traffic from CL ads, LinkedIn posts, and Email blasts. SEO is in place, but wont show results soon enough.
- Cold-Calling - I will call businesses in the area to for leads and referrals.
