    Selling experience or service over products?

    IDEA 
    I have spent the last 10 years selling products. The more I look around I realize there are so many products out there it's hard for people to even make a decision. I watch shark tank and people essentially keep rehashing similar ideas over and over. Some are good and some not so much but the...

    Is everyone just importing goods?

    SOURCING 
    I haven't seen much talk about sourcing goods from U.S. or even doing your own manufacturing? Is this not viable? I am aware of a company that closed at the beginning of covid because the owner was retirement age and didn't want anymore hassle. I think he still owns all the machines for...

    Applying barrier of entry to sales

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    Ok so I am still trying to figure out what I am going to do and recalling the barrier entey part of things makes me think about so many people on here selling little stuff on Amazon and Ebay which seems like the lowest level of difficulty possible. I have some cash and was thinking more costly...

    Been off here for awhile. Eager to now get somewhere.

    IDEA 
    Hello, I regestered here over 5 years ago and struggled over those years trying to come up with something that could work. I have spent the last 10 working at the same job. I have the flexibility to run my portion of someone else's business the way I choose to. I have some terribly toxic...

    How do you make an invention idea a reality?

    IDEA 
    I have an idea that could be a big game changer but I don't have the means to make a prototype. The end products would most likely cost only $40-60 and could be marketed to 10s of millions of people. This item could have actually save lives in certain situations. I just don't have what it takes...

    Anyone know if parking lot striping is profitable?

    I live in a city of 60,000 give or take and I only know of one guy doing parking lot striping and its the same guy been doing for 25+ years and he is really slowing down. He does less and less every year. I have seen many business owners outside doing a very half assed job themselves. I'm...

    Anyone else still believe in local businesses?

    I enjoy what I have learned from this site and the Fastlane Millionaire but I do feel Brick and Mortar operations have been drastically underestimated and E-commerce has been pushed down everyone's throat so much its getting kind of played out. Let me give an example from my own experience...

    How do you indentify needs that genarate most success?

    I only have a few pages left in the Millionaire Fastlane. I'm definitely willing to go in an entirely new direction than what I'm used to but I'm struggling with finding what areas need something new the most. The book stresses Need, entry, control, scale, and time which makes perfect sense...

    Where does slowlane end and fastlane begin?

    SLOWLANE 
    I'd say that depends on the person and their lifestyle needs. I've notice many on here will criticize slowlane but if you make a great advancement from what you were I say its better than before. I'm about 80% done with the Fastlane MIllionaire book. I fully understand that making 10's of...

    Please give me some feedback on my plans.

    MINDSET 
    I am currently a salesman for a very small scale local company. Since starting there several years ago I have been able to increase profit margins do considerably better than the previous salesman in my position. I've had a knack for locating items that customers need at lower cost or...

    How should I be getting paid?

    I'm currently not self employed but will be working on it as time goes on. I'm a salesman for a small scale business that gets paid hourly rate and a very small portion of net profits on my sales. The thing is the business is so small I do ordering, warehousing, inventory, janitorial, etc...

    Hello, new salesman member here smaller city.

    INTRO 
    I'll give a brief history on myself so maybe someone can tell me if I've got a chance or not. In the mid 2000's I started a lawn care, snow removal, and firewood sales business. I did ok and survived but it didn't take me very long to realize I had way too much competition and that my...
