Hi forums,

Okay so, I've recently just had a proposal to work with my dads mate. His company has a fleet of 100 + vehicles which are ready to be given out if someone has an accident.

How it works
If you've had an accident, you ring me and i'll put you through to the x. Once everything is finalized, you would get a car for how long you want and you pay nothing for it.

They would take a % of the total claim that you get from the persons insurance who hit you.

For every successful person I refer, I would receive £500. They have been in the scene for quite a while but they aren't big, and they are clueless on Facebook ads, websites, traffic and so on. That's where I come into play.

My concern is that, once everything is setup it would be transferred to him. So facebook page would be on his account and so on, which means he has no need for me.

What could I do to keep me in this business. I can't offer no incentive like discount because the user doesn't need to pay a dime.

Made the thread on a phone so excuse the grammer x.

Set yourself up as an agent, not just for them but for others. That way you will keep them on your side as long as you are providing the clients.

How would I do that? I'm 20 and really not sure how you set yourself up as agent.

In an ideal world then you would need a bit of experience in the trade you intend to operate in. Basically as an agent you are a middle man or conduit. You find a claimant who needs a car, how you get the claimant in a car down to you. Work with the guy for a while and see how it works, if you have what it takes you'll find a way. In the good old days it used to be called credit hire and many car hire companies jumped on the band wagon. Quite a few still operate a similar system.

Makes sense, I do have some knowledge in this sector but ye I get your point. Thanks mate.
