mitsubishi-i-miev-electric-car-rrr01If you are looking for a new and solid business opportunity, consider investing in the rental business. Whether you are renting scuba equipment or hotel properties, the rental industry, and owning your own business can make you a lot of money. In addition to great income potential, the rental business is pretty straightforward. Some of the more common things to rent range from watercraft and furniture are office or construction equipment. As long as there is a need, you can make money from renting anything.

Rental companies are successful because there are always people that would pay to borrow something than buy it. Sometimes they just need something just one time or for a little while. Renting provides this option. Any product that a customer would rather not have to buy for themselves can pretty much be rented out. The great thing about this business is that both the customer as well as you benefit. They get their needs met at a decent and competitive price, and you get to generate income from lending that particular item out for a specified amount of time.

Starting your rental business can either be done in your own home, or a rented property somewhere. As soon as you have some inventory on hand that you can rent, all you need is a little advertising and then watch your profits go up. Remember that start up costs will be high as you make initial investments in equipment and supplies. These costs vary by the products you plan on renting, but try and find pre owned items that are in good condition to save money.

Keep in mind that prices are standard for smaller items. Most companies charge between 3 and 5 percent of the item’s original value when they rent by the day. If they go by the week, then the charge should be around 10 percent. For monthly rentals, the common pricing is to charge 20 percent of the original value. Keep these tips in mind as you explore the options of getting into the rental business, and good luck. Best wishes as you make your decision.

about_referralGrowing a small business is tough work. The sales function is a time consuming task with a constant need to fill your “sales funnel” with fresh, qualified prospects on a regular basis. Finding the best qualified leads from your business does not come from a cold contact situation but from building a strong referral business. Discover the the benefits and 7 tactics to drive the referral marketing for your small business.

Referral Marketing Benefits

The business of referrals makes sense for most companies for the following reasons:

1. Referral marketing reduces your sales expenses and sales cycle. With less time calling cold prospects, your small business can focus on customers and their circle of influence.

2. Referrals can build your level of satisfied customers. The cycle self-perpetuates with more satisfied customers referring others to your company.

3. Referrals increase your sales revenue. According to world-renowned sales trainer, Tom Hopkins, in “Sales Prospecting for Dummies”; your closing ratio for non-qualified leads is 10 percent versus a 60 percent close ratio with referred leads.

If the prospect of building the referral end of your business is so enticing, why do so few businesses do it? Because they use the wrong approach in building referrals and have limited success. To ensure your business is on track to building referrals, follow these 7 tips:

1. Set A Target: In business, measure the results to improve performance. Set a clear goal with a time line. Example, 10% increase in referral business over the next 10 weeks.

2. Timing: Conventional sales wisdom claims the best time to ask for the referral is immediately after the close. This tactic is far too aggressive. Give your clients time to experience your service or product before asking for a referral. Ask for the referral at close only if your client is already delighted with your business.

3. Top 20: Not all customers are referral candidates. Find the top 20% that are ecstatic about your business and ask them for referrals. Make sure their network is the type of client you want.

4. Give and You’ll Receive: Give your clients extra service and follow-up support before asking for referrals. When you give willingly to your customers, they will return the favor.

5. Type of Customer: Inform your referring clients of the type of customers you can help. Provide a clear picture of the customer demographics will help your referral marketing.

6. Rewards Program: Provide special rewards to your referring customers on a regular basis. If a customer provides you with 5 sales, offer them something special, e.g. discounts.

7. Thank You: Lisa A. Maini, President of my Marketing Manager, recommends businesses need to establish trust to build referrals. Lisa says, “Create a basic thank you letter that can be personalized and sent to each referral you receive. Treat your referral sources with the utmost of care and you will not only build a foundation of trust but keep hot prospects coming to your door.”

These tips are simple but when executed on a regular basis they can drive your referral business and build sales revenue. Start today and watch your referrals grow.
