Re: First post, getting ready to enter the industry!!
Hello everyone, I have been viewing this forum for the last several weeks and want to thank everyone for all the information.
I am very close to purchasing my kit and kicking off my business. I have few questions and would appreciate all of your comments and opinions.
I am 22 years old with a BS degree in Business Administration/ Marketing emphasis, so I have a basic knowledge on how to run a business. I have always wanted my own business and I like what windshield repair has to offer.
1. Is Delta better then GM?
That is a personal preference thing. I use Delta so...
2. I see alot of opinions on this, cash business or get paid through insurance companies??
Cash is king but I am able to offer customers the choice
3. Best ways to market to dealerships, fleets? Letters, calls, etc....?
In person along with a marketing plan which might include, calls, letters advertising etc... Remember "No Does not mean no, It just means not right now" Follow up with your prospect repeatedly.
4. I need an honest opinion here...When first starting off, how long (average or your experience) does it take to make a comfortable income??
To many unknown variables to say.
5. Can I learn through the videos and manuals and still do as well as hands on training??
I lean towards no but perhaps, eventually. Videos are not interactive and you surely will have questions. Tapes cannot tell you did a good or bad repair and since you do not know the difference how will you determine whats what. Your learning curve will be longer.
Thats all for now, thanks for your time
Good luck to you.
