Almost all my business was word of mouth, and I had an almost 98% close rate.

When he asks about her “revenue”, many missed him adding “in commissions” (myself included). The ~$600K figure is her *commission*, which is 10% of total sales. None of that commission is used to buy shed materials, build, or deliver sheds - those costs are covered by the 90% the shed manufacturer (Graceland) keeps. She would likely use her ~$600K/yr to hire additional sales people, market, lease the lot, and cover other basic business expenses.The title isn’t misleading.

When you call about something you know your products. "You may know something that the customer does not so inform them." Getting what you ordered great customer service and calling people back shows' you want their hard earned money. If their calling about a shed probably means they want to buy one or check prices that should be ok. Also they like the bottom line with no surprises. delivers on time when you want it people are as busy as you. May have a fine time line to get it built. "If you don't turn people off you will sell yourself through word of mouth". I Can hear the neighbor or friends or family say what a great company and the experience was awesome. Have a contest nicest and most beautiful shed one a year they must send photos.

Congrats to Susan on her success! I thought the "sell me this pen" portion was really just taking an order from a customer. Do you want black or blue? How many do you want? When do you need this? Maybe if she pointed out the benefits of her pen over the competition's pen that would have been interesting or if she was presented with objections to overcome that's where the challenge is. Now, Susan isn't selling pens and was kinda put on the spot, but if she highlighted the benefits of that particular pen much like she did when pointing out the benefits of a ridge vent etc that would have been cool. When I was in sales, learned a nice way to mention features & benefits. Went something like, this car has antilock brakes, what this means to you is that you'll be able to steer the car safely when stopping on ice. Also, what about a product the consumer can buy from 10 different stores? Maybe that's when you say, look, you can buy this pen anywhere, but the difference is you'll be buying this from me. What this means to you is that, if this pen breaks you can call me and I'll send you another one, if it doesn't write, I'll help you troubleshoot it (lol troubleshooting a pen but go with it), you can call me directly any time of the day any day of the week, I always answer my phone. You're really just selling yourself at that point. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Love the shows UpFlip!
@tarot-karma-online
2 жыл бұрын
Maybe the trick is in engaging a conversation with the customer by asking him for the colour he has to think and answer and this is leading to the next point and its a sale. No information overflow, just testing the cu if he wants to buy. If u ask me blue or black I would maybe say, no thank u, I am not going to buy anyway. both of u r right, just different approaches. In the end, whats important is the sale.

She's blessed with her location...We have dozens of shed sellers in this area... Certain business models work in certain places...I've owned a well respected remodeling company for decades, I've advertised to build custom sheds...it's just not a thing here...Good luck to her though...

So Susan said that they earn a 10% commission from Graceland their shed vendor. So, how much does Susan pay a month for the land their business is located on? Do she have a deal with a local shipping carrier with the equipment and skill to safely and legally deliver these sheds to the customer or this only a place to showcase the sheds and Graceland delivers from their factory? Can she markup the deliver and Shed setup fee? Can she arrange electrical contractors to safely and legally add electric power to these buildings and can she mark that up? I think she should also be selling Solar for these sheds as well. This was a good video but you could have accomplished the goal of showcasing this business in half the time.

Our prices are set by Graceland and delivery is included in the vast areas we service. I suppose I could mark up the prices but that would be highly unethical and show no integrity and is not something we would ever consider doing. We have local professionals we recommend for electrical, etc. We only recommend professionals that I know and would personally do business with. My lot rents range from $500 to $1,000 a month. No need for us to offer solar. There are hundreds of professionals nationwide that are solar experts.

What is the driving factor in shed sales? The other guy you interviewed who built shed/offices said his business skyrocketed during the pandemic and she echoed that as well. I’m curious what’s so attractive about the sheds and what’s driving the demand. Second question. Do you run into lots of issues with HOAs and neighborhood restrictions? Also what about footings etc? TIA

The driving factor in shed sales during the pandemic is everyone was home. Upgrading there property they been pushing off before then. Obvious to see

This video was amazing!! Thank you Susan and thank you UpFlip. Quick question: What is the first step to take? Do I call up Graceland and tell them I want to sell their products and they'll say no problem, here are leads and go follow up on them, or do I need to get a referral in order to become a seller? Can you talk about this a little more? As someone who is very interested in starting this business but has zero connections or experience (but is willing to learn!), what is the very first step I need to take to begin the process of being a seller/agent? Thank you

$500,000 revenue last year, and 10% commission. profit last year should be $50,000 for the entire year (NOT Month). minus taxes and fees they probably make $16/hour.

When you make durable bug resistant 255 SQ FT sheds for $600 each and available across Virginia; I will buy one at a time so I can customize it to help the homeless who are suffering while everyone else lives in comfort ( many of whom will end up in hell for being greedy, entitled and lack empathy)

How does she give away a car to someone that really needs it . Most people who are buying a nice shed for there yard probably don't really need a extra car unless they are buying a shed to live in . Just curious. But this lady is amazing I don't need a shed but found myself looking for a reason to buy one from her .
