The basics –
how does it work?
You buy from us at wholesale, and sell them
to your customers at retail. The margins are fifty percent
or better. That’s better on your side, not ours. So
you pay fifteen dollars for a broom and sell it for thirty.
? Your gross profit = $15.00
? Your time invested = maybe 10 minutes tops
Why should you work with Harper Brush Works?
Because we’re nice guys. No really,
there are several good reasons why we’re a good risk
for you to take.
1. We’re not new to this business. In
fact we’ve been doing the cleaning thing for over a
hundred years. Enough time to get it right.
2. Your territory is reserved for you, so you don’t
have to compete with other Harper distributors.
3. Harper provides a proven SYSTEM for success. Sort of like
what McDonald’s sells to their franchisees. Only we
don’t make you pay for the use of that system. Nor do
we insist that you work with no one else but us. Nor do we
ask that you pay for our advertising out of your pocket. These
are all the drawbacks of franchises. Harper’s system
has all the benefits of a proven franchise, only we don’t
charge money for it.
4. Harper is on the cutting edge of new technology. Okay,
so it’s not exactly rocket science. But since you’re
dealing directly with the factory, we have the ability to
create new products based on suggestions from distributors
in the field. This makes you more valuable to your customers,
which translates into more opportunities for sales.
5. We teach success. We don’t expect you to know how
to sell our products. Teaching you to be successful is part
of the Harper system. We just want to make more brooms. So
it’s in our best interest to help you sell lots of them.
We come to your area and show you first hand how to do it.
And you get to keep the profit even during that training.
We’ll sell fifteen hundred dollars worth in one week
(check those margins again to see your profit in that week).
And if Shawn can’t help you sell that much, you get
to poke him with a stick! Shawn has yet to be poked with a
stick.
6. We help you stay successful. It’s in our best interest
that you continue to sell lots of products down the road.
So we hook you up with the most successful distributors from
across the country to compare techniques and ideas. More sales
= more profit for you.
Minimum
requirements
(oh it’s not that bad)
Delivery vehicle – You
can’t sell our products on the bus. Although come to
think of it, your local bus line needs brooms and brushes
to clean the fleet, but I digress. You need a truck to carry
your inventory and yourself to your customers.
A secure place to store inventory –
You’re going to need more inventory than will fit in
your truck. You need a place to store it that won’t
get wet, or broken into. We’re not talking a huge amount
of space here. But you’re going to need it.
Answering machine, fax and cell phone –
No big surprise here. This is for customers to call with orders
($$) and for us to get in touch with you. Orders to us come
by fax, so you’ll need one. They’re not expensive,
take the plunge.
$5000.00 minimum inventory investment
– You can’t sell what you don’t have. And
for 5K you can be fairly well stocked. 10K is ideal, and will
make it easier to make more money sooner. But it’s your
money, so it’s up to you. But this investment is in
real product which you’ll take home with you. And there’s
really no risk, because if you don’t sell some items,
we’ll buy it back from you.
