Are you a detailer? Awesome,
great cool, congrats. You
have chosen an honarable profession.
Decent money too, huh?..
I mean, a
decent detailer
can net over $500 a day. Not
bad. Not bad at all. $500
a day, 20 days worked a month,
$10,000 a month income, not
net of course, but, $10k gross.
So, you sub the detail supplies,
any other minor expenses,
and you are off and running
to the bank.
But..
sorry, had
to go this route..
But. I have
to pick this good thing apart,
friends.
You see,
we are all looking to make
more $$, and work less hard,
if you will. And detailing,
is work. Not as hard as roofing
or concrete work, but more
hard than lets say, financial
analyst, or video rental counter
helper.
So, the bad
news is, detailing is work,
and there is a limit to how
much you can make, so, how
can you make work less hard,
while increasing your income,
right.?
I mean, isnt
that the goal? Less time working,
more money coming in. A nice
formula, and although rather
simple to understand, not
so simple to employ.
Thats where
I come in. Im here to pass
along some ideas to make the
above formula easier to reach.
Once again,
the formula:
More $$ +
Less time working = awesome
life
So, how ,
pray tell, Brian, can this
be achieved?
1) Work less.
Yeah I know thats in the formula,
but heres some ideas on HOW..
A) Hire others to assist you
so you can sell more business.
That could mean a detail
assistant or full blown detailer
whom handles your initial
business while you market
it.
B) Bring
on a sales person to grow
your business more. The only
problem with this idea is,
you will work more if the
person is successful..oops..do
this AND hire others to help
you.
Ok, at this
point, weve just offered two
options to help you grow the
business. Problem: You might
work less, but you will manage
more, so the headache factor
can grow with more people,
and that in and of itself
is not a guarantee for more
income, it is however, a guarantee
for more expenses.
2) Upsell.
Now were talkin. You can use
this strategy on your current
business clients to immediately
grow your income. Yes, by
selling more services to your
clients, that does mean more
work. Either you can do it
or you can hire for it, but
more revenue is guaranteed
since it is not a question
of can you sell it..you already
have the clients, and they
buy what you suggest. Thats
the beauty of being a detailer...you
are trusted and you respect
the relationship with your
client and benefit from such
a business relationship.
3) Sell related
products. You can sell automotive
related products to your clients
and beyond. Could be air fresheners,
to wheels to stereo and video
components and more. I know
detailers who sell 10 times
their monthly income in detailing
in wheel sales. Nice perk,
and it isnt much extra work,
for the bang per buck.
So to recap,
Ive given you several ideas
on how to make more $$, and
hopefully work smarter, and
ultimately, less, so you can
enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Face it..you cant make time,
so make money and ENJOY your
time!
Best wishes,
and Happy Pushing!
