Some of you may remember my post a while back about the opportunity with the car alarm / car stereo store in a nice area. Well, it`s been snowing, and just not that great of time to consider detailing, but I`m about to work a deal out with him this week.
I was going to propose that he takes a 15% share of my sales, and can mark up the price. (if he charges $145, he`d make $43 a car) and that way he would take care of most of my marketing so I wouldn`t have to deal with it. (just starting out and don`t have a large customer base yet)
However, my boss / friend at another job is looking out for me and is worried he will use me to get a good reputation, cut me out of the picture, and hire some high school kids instead.
I don`t think this guy would do that, he`s a friend of a friend and a good guy. (our mutual friend is one of my best friends, and the most honest guy I know... I`m actually considering asking him if he`d like to become my business partner) But, you never know, th owner very well could if he gets in a bad financial position and do what I`m affriad of him doing.
I could also pay him rent, but that would be harder on my end. What would a small detailing bay at the corner of a shop typically go for in your area?
