Here is a little system that anyone can implement very easily into their business. This little system accounted for 3 transactions for me last year for a total of $16,324 in commissions, not bad for just a few minutes of work. In addition to the commissions, I also generated several very good leads in the process.

I went to the owner of a full service car wash, one of those that have the guys with the towels at the very end hand drying every last drop of water off of your car. The kind you regularly see some of the nicest cars in the area pulling out of. Now, I went to the one in my market where I spend a lot of money and have met the owner on several occasions while my car was being washed, but you can do this with any car wash.

I asked the owner if he would be interested in doing a joint venture that would be a win-win for both of our businesses. If he would have his guys at the end of the car wash place my fliers on the dashboard as they were wiping it off, I would give away whatever he would like to my customers at closings, open houses, on website offers, etc. He quickly agreed to give me these wooden tokens for a free car wash, a whole bucket of them!

Not only did I hand them out, my customers and clients loved me for giving them a free car wash and my friend, the car wash owner loved me because he could see the influx of people choosing his car wash and a large percentage of them weren't taking the standard car wash but upgrading to a higher dollar wash for 3-6 more dollars.

And the icing on the cake, after doing this for less than 1 year, I have closed 3 transactions as a result for a total of $16,324 in commissions. Imagine if I had just 3 or 4 other car washes doing this as well which I am going to work on!!

Try it!!

Well dam Brian thats just a squeaky clean idea!

Wow , that's a great idea.

I don't have any of THOSE car washes around here, but it does open up the thoughts of other businesses along the same type.

I was going to say - none of our car washes that I've ever seen have guys at the end wiping down the car - all we have a oversized hair dryers in the ceilings....

But...hmmm. how to localize this....how to localize this....

Thanks for sharing brseminars!

Hey! I pay you for all those kinds of tips. What are you doing over here posting them on the free forum? Back to busyagentpro you!

What a great idea!!!!

Wow.. I would probably never go somewhere again if they put something advertising any other business than theirs on in my car after I paid them to do something to it..

have you ever bought a pizza with fliers glued to the box?

Why?

Yes, but they were fliers for the pizza place, not for Joe's Crab Shack..

If I just paid you to wash my car the last thing I want is you leaving something behind in it. The carwash people are already inside the car, I don't mind something from them, but it seems creepy that an unrelated third parties advertising would be left behind in my car.

I get enough junk snail mail, spam, and doorhangers on my house, the last thing I want is more garbage to throw away out of my car.
