Improve our marketing strategy: Web presence on hosts like Truck paper, independent website, social media presence, word of mouth, and referrals. Currently, we make a profit of $2 - 5k when we sell an equipment. Factor in cost of purchase, maintenance, service, detail among other costs then deduct from selling price and we have the profit. I’m going through a life changing event, so my busineee overhead consumes all the profit and leave me with no money to fix and get the envy equipment I invest in in time to flip/sell faster This money will help us buy more equipment and take care of anything needed to make sure they sell fast. This turn around time (less than a month) will help us keep buying and selling/more stable/with inventory balancing the books and leading CO Truck sales to a financial stable place, and sooner than later a very healthy financial place.
