How do I get set up with dealers? Should I write up a proposal telling them how much they can make? Im In Maryland and want to get set up with dealers.

Go into the dealer and speak to the sales manager and show him what you can offer mobile video, rs, etc.If he says they already have someone leave your card anyways and follow up with them. they may be stuck one day and call you. worked for me. also don't forget about hu you would not believe how many you can do because people come in and like a certain vehicle but it doesn't have a cd player because dealer didn't order it. Also get involved with you local camber of commerce. Most business owners a apart of it and they have meetings once a month here and you can to know more business owners that might send work you way once you get to know them.

I personally would not spend too much time with the sales manager....you need to get "IN" with the F&I person. They afteall are going to be the people talking to the customer, and selling what you offer. The sales manager is the place to start, but it doesnt end there!

Also be prepared to not see your money for 30 days, since that’s how most new car dealers pay their venders.

at this time i have 20 some dealers and out of them 10 are big time so big i opened a 3 location just for them. the best thing to do with dealerships is pat them on the rear daily. make them your friend if you have to eat a job to get them away from another vendor   do it . i have a company that did over a 100,000 last year with me. i go talk with him on a weekly bases and i do his cars on a daily bases. if you have any other questions just ask

christophe - do you own your own shop or work for someone else.  Looks like you're ready to partner up with someone as a car audio/security install venture, right?  I'm in Frderick also (I live there too).

(1) RF Punch 250A2 - running the components.
