Windshield Repair Forum

Hi i am just wondering if anyone out there can give a new guy some advice on how to get a fleet account. Any info would be nice thanks!

There is no hidden secret to landing fleet accounts! There is a lot of leg work and jumping through hoops to land these. The main thing is being diligent and don't give up because you never know when the guy they had been using could disappear . This will put you in the right place at the right time . I never am pushy when I cold call them because I never want to appear desperate. You can offer a free repair.Cosmetics are great but these guys are looking at the bottom line of not replacing the w/s or having the vehicle down and not generating income. Don't take that the wrong way because I do all repairs the same quality as best of my ability! Hang in there and you will catch a big fish!

Car lots are difficult walk the lot make a list of what you see then walk in and introduce yourself to the Used Car Manager. If you sow some out there his guy may not be coming around often enough or possibly he does'nt have one. Give him your price tell him what you saw. You may have to keep stopping by and be ready for it to take a while to get in the door.
Trucking and delivery vehicles are the same check to see what is there and go in always ask for the buisness now . A bunch of guys drop off cards and never ask for the work.

Sell sell sell!

And never stop selling.

Just want to take time and say thanks to every one for all the good advice.can any one show me how the billing process works when billing fleet acounts.

You give them an invoice and they will send you a check. Some fleets will require a separate invoice for each vehicle. Also some will pay with credit cards and some will make you charge each one separate. This is something you need to discuss when you set the account up.

We appreciate the input it was helpful
