Why Distributors?

Banner_01Our experience shows that the commitment required to achieve success is not always apparent with a salaried sales force. Most people tend to work harder and offer better service when they are working at their own business. We recognize this fact and want people who desire the independence and rewards of running their own business, and are prepared to work hard to achieve it. The success of any company is built on the right people selling the right products at the right price. We can provide you with the last two. Only you can provide the first one for yourself!

We are currently looking for distributors and dealers for our expanding marketing network. Many very profitable business concepts and ideas have been born from our high performance Engine-Care and cosmetic Car-Care product-lines, from distribution outlets, to smaller retail centers and car-care chains.

Our distributors have exclusive territory agreements, and increase their repeat orders from this customer base. The potential for building turnover and profits in this type of expanding marketplace is huge.

Also, as an individual -you may use this information to change your career and increase your earning power. Many people have the determination, desire, and ability to succeed in their own business. However, lack of experience and proven products, along with reduced capital, will usually prevent them from taking that first step in the right direction.

We can help you right now!

Why Add New Products to Your Own Line of Products?

Banner_02Chances are that your customers are already using some automotive products in a variety of applications. Since you are already servicing these customers, why not meet their needs for additional environmentally responsible high performance Engine-Care and cosmetic Car-Care product-lines as well? Supplying these products under your company’s own ‘roof’ builds customer loyalty and practically eliminates the possibility that the customer will obtain similar products from other suppliers. By providing more of the products that your customers want, you reduce their dependence on other suppliers while strengthening your relationship with them.

High performance Engine-Care and cosmetic Car-Care product-lines are a natural extension for many automotive products. By adding these well chosen product-lines to your product offering, you enable your sales force to generate additional sales without the major expense of opening new customers. This way they can simply sell additional products to your now existing customers. Remember, we have proven products ready to go to work for you.

On the other hand, Engine-Care and Car-Care products are often the ideal door openers for sales of your other products. For example, our NW No-Water Car-Wash & Polish is a unique product, which is very useful and amazes most people who try it. It is quick and easy to sell, and it has helped many of our distributors to establish a great number of their new accounts.

If your automotive product-line already includes similar products, it might be worthwhile to review your offering to be sure that it includes the newer generation, of state-of-the-art environmentally responsible product-lines. Since most companies are proactively removing highly hazardous or regulated materials, in favor of environmentally safer alternatives, many of the historically conventional automotive chemicals have fallen out of favor.

Markets

Banner_06We are right in the center of a large and growing market. The United States alone has more than one vehicle per person, which means a total of around 300 million vehicles.

Internationally the numbers are even much higher, giving us the solid assurance that this market is one that is not going to disappear for any time soon!

The part these statistics that interests all of us is that each one of this growing amount of vehicles requires regular maintenance… and several of our products should be used as part of their individual maintenance programs.

Our main target markets are the auto, truck, industrial, and marine industries. Regular use of our products, quickly create repeat orders. In addition, each retail outlet profits from marketing our products to their customers.

Rewards

Banner_10The rewards from owning your own business are many:

  • Emotional benefits. You will find many emotional rewards while building your own business: a sense of major achievement, self-confidence, pride, travel, new colleagues and friends.
  • Financial benefits. You will also find the great financial rewards, such as the day-to-day profits of your business. Profits from new businesses vary because they may grow at different rates and speed. Personal financial requirements will be different and the financing costs will not the same for every business. But you can most probably expect to have profits much higher than the majority of people that work for others, and again… with the potential of tremendous future growth.
  • Future benefits. As time goes on, your business can become very valuable. Keep in mind that this is a benefit simultaneous to growth. As you build your business profits, you also build the value of your business. Remember, you are the owner of your business, and this entitles you to the full value of your business the day you decide to sell it. A successful business can be worth a very substantial capital sum.

Tax benefits. Many expenses that you never would have expected to be able to deduct from you tax bills as an employee, you will now be able to deduct when you own your own business. This again relates to more profits and money left in your pocket.
