become a broker

So what would your role as a Motorhome Depot broker be and what do you actually do? The easiest way to explain what we do is to say that we are estate agents for motorhomes. When you want to sell your house, you phone an estate agent. In the same way, when our customers want to sell their motorhome, they phone us.

Another way to describe your role as a broker is as a problem solver. If someone wants to sell a motorhome, they have traditionally had two choices: to sell to a motorhome dealer, or to try and sell privately. Even if they can find a dealer that is buying used vehicles at that moment, and the dealer actually wants what they have, the owner will only be offered a low trade price. And as for selling privately, think how difficult it is to sell a car privately and then times that by ten! As well as all of the hassle of photos, descriptions and up-front advertising costs, an owner is trying to sell a niche product to a small market and it rarely ends successfully. Many owners simply don’t want to take the home security and fraudulent payment risks of trying to sell privately.

Now, imagine how pleased our customers are to see you when they discover that there is a third alternative , with no up-front costs, no security or payment risks and you do all of the work for them on a no sale, no fee basis? You can see why our customers love us and why our business is so successful.

The process is just like an estate agent. You will visit the client, taking a lot of images of their motorhome, take a description and advise them on price. On returning home, you will upload the details to our website and the description is then also automatically uploaded onto to the best commercial motorhome sales websites, giving your client the widest possible coverage.

All enquiries for the vehicle come to you and again, like an estate agent, you will arrange viewings, field all offers and carry out all negotiations for your client. When a sale is agreed, your accounts support team at head office will deal with the financial transaction, so that the owner receives payment before releasing the keys, the buyer knows they are buying securely and you know you will receive your commission.

It’s not difficult to see why we have so many happy customers. Your seller has gained access to the widest possible market to get the best price on a no sale, no fee basis without doing any work. Your buyer has been able to find exactly the right motorhome, at the right price and buy securely without wasting time chasing around the country looking at wrongly described vehicles. A win-win for all!

YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL

Your earnings potential as a Motorhome Depot broker is significant and in discussing this aspect of our franchise there are two things you need to know: firstly, the exact level of earnings of our existing franchisees. We find the easiest way to deal with this question is to simply give you this information in full, if and when you decide to come and meet us. We won’t identify by name the franchisees on the list of earnings we show you, but we will talk you through their backgrounds, profiles and how we find them to work with. This will help you see if you identify with our franchisees and if you can picture yourself as one of our team. And of course, you are free to speak to any of our franchisees after the meeting.

The second aspect of your earnings potential that you need to understand, is how you can personally determine what that level is. This will be no great revelation to you; it is simply a product of how hard and how efficiently you work. And when we say “How hard you work”, what we really mean is how “Smart” you work rather than how many hours you put in. Work smart and follow the system and you will see great results. Many of our franchisees are experiencing a balance between hours worked and income received that they had previously only dreamt of.

When it comes to how efficiently you work, that simply means following our tried and tested operating system and again, there are no great revelations here. We will show you how to manage your time, group activities together for efficiency, deal with administration and track progress. The key is, to manage your time so that you devote a sufficient amount of it to the activities that generate revenue and profit, and we will show you how to do just that!
