Speaker 2: is twenty seven years old. So they they own their
Speaker 2: own car dealerships and they have celebrity clients. But they
Speaker 2: also do a lot of community give back as well,
Speaker 2: which I like. And they just got a whole entrepreneur
Speaker 2: vibe and they the neo entrepreneurs. They're doing it their way.
Speaker 2: They're not conforming to anybody's standards. So and they've been
Speaker 2: featuring in Forbes last year revenue of over five million,
Speaker 2: five point six million, and their goal for end of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty to do fifteen million dollars in revenue.
Speaker 4: So for essence, Black enterprise over all over.
Speaker 2: Now now now e your Lisua, so first and foremost man,
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you for joining us.
Speaker 5: No, thank you for having me. I really do appreciate it.
Speaker 2: No, no, for sure. So let's jump right into it.
Speaker 2: All right, So you're twenty seven years old and you
Speaker 2: have three car dealerships. But we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: how you got into the car ownership business. So you said,
Speaker 2: you told me that you started off selling cars originally, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was selling cars started from twenty eleven to
Speaker 5: two thousand and thirteen.
Speaker 2: Okay, And so then you said you made you made
Speaker 2: the switch over to the other side of where you
Speaker 2: were manager.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was a finance manager. Finance manager for about
Speaker 5: two years and became a finance director, so I oversee
Speaker 5: the whole finance department with approvals, compliance, d MV regulations
Speaker 5: and whatnot.
Speaker 4: You said you made a huge decision with your last
Speaker 4: eleven thousand dollars that you had of going to Arizona, Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I went to I was a salesperson at the
Speaker 5: age of twenty one. I was trying to be a
Speaker 5: finance manager and the dealership in Long Island, I was
Speaker 5: the only minority most finance managers in the business.
Speaker 2: So what's the finance manager.
Speaker 5: Finance manager is the person that actually gets your deal
Speaker 5: approved with the bank and sits down with the client
Speaker 5: and sells them after market products to protect their investment.
Speaker 4: So that's the guy in the back room. You see
Speaker 4: the sales floor, then they like all come in the
Speaker 4: back room and.
Speaker 5: That's the finance man got you, what's that guy? So
Speaker 5: I wanted to be that guy when I was selling cars,
Speaker 5: but they told me, no, we want to keep as sales.
Speaker 5: You're doing great. Why calls your mom? Because obviously they
Speaker 5: don't remove their best sales guy because now they're not
Speaker 5: gonna sell as much. Cause so I said, now I'm cool,
Speaker 5: I'm cool off for it. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 5: So I enrolled myself into our automotive dealer institute. Was
Speaker 5: the finance course for four weeks. It was ten thousand
Speaker 5: dollars for the course. I had eleven thousand dollars left
Speaker 5: in my account. I spent the whole ten just to
Speaker 5: go to the school, and everybody was telling me that's
Speaker 5: to work. Decision, I can do my life.
Speaker 2: It's like an online school.
Speaker 5: No, it's a it's a class you go to. You
Speaker 5: have to be there for four weeks. Every week it's
Speaker 5: something different in training. So you have to live in
Speaker 5: Arizona for a moment in the hotel. Sacrifice sacrifice, true sacrifice.
Speaker 5: So you spent the ten and lived off the one
Speaker 5: I lived the one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: How did that work out for you?
Speaker 5: Well, you know in the hotel they get you get
Speaker 5: free breakfast. Got to be to get the breakfast.
Speaker 2: Then how did it take? The coursework out for you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: The best ever did in my life, ever, ever, the
Speaker 5: best decision. If it wasn't for that decision, I wouldn't
Speaker 5: be here right now. I took the course. The course
Speaker 5: was amazing. I left as soon as I came back
Speaker 5: back to New York. It was thanks given time. So
Speaker 5: I just worked my last week at the dealership I
Speaker 5: was working at before I shook their hands. Before I
Speaker 5: even got a new job, I went to two places
Speaker 5: to get a job. Both of them gave me the opportunity. Well,
Speaker 5: one gave me the Macklin opportunity to be a finance
Speaker 5: manager for five dealerships. So instead of me just being
Speaker 5: the Honda, had an opportunity to work for Honda, Kiya, Accura, Toyota,
Speaker 5: and Kiya because they're on the same they're owned by
Speaker 5: the same person. So I took the opportunity making horrible money.
Speaker 5: I was actually what I was offered was a little
Speaker 5: bit less than I was making before, but I knew
Speaker 5: what it was going to bring me to, you know,
Speaker 5: taking that step, taking that one step back to take
Speaker 5: three steps forward.
Speaker 2: So right, and then you ended up in La, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm La four years. I was a finance manager
Speaker 5: at that store, and then I went to another dealership
Speaker 5: and I became a finance director. I ran that store,
Speaker 5: did an amazing job. Changed we helped change a lot
Speaker 5: of lives. And then I got the opportunity to go
Speaker 5: to La And you know what, kid from New York
Speaker 5: doesn't want to go to Hollywood. You know it's like Hollywood.
Speaker 5: Yeah about the weather seven degrees all year. I'm either
Speaker 5: at home.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: So all right, so you get to Hollywood and who
Speaker 2: we working? You said you were working at Honda.
Speaker 5: Honda. I had an opportunity to work at a Honda
Speaker 5: dealership and also be part of like to have like
Speaker 5: to be, to have a minority program, to eventually be
Speaker 5: part owner of the store. So it was something big
Speaker 5: for my career. So I was like, let's go, let's
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: So I made the I made the I made the choice.
Speaker 5: I had no friends in La, I have no family.
Speaker 5: Street that miles away from New York. So I left,
Speaker 5: went to Hollywood by myself and did what I had
Speaker 5: to do. Downtown La. La was a different experience. They
Speaker 5: closed at New York.
Speaker 2: So all right, so how were you at that point?
Speaker 2: I was twenty five, twenty five.
Speaker 3: That that trip to LA ends up changing everything for you. Right,
Speaker 3: you have a meeting with correct.
Speaker 2: One friend a stranger, So all right, So what happened
Speaker 2: with the commission the meeting? Yeah, three, I was.
Speaker 5: Working in La. You know, I was exceeding my expectations
Speaker 5: because they thought, how can you do this here in
Speaker 5: the East coast. You're not gonna be able to do
Speaker 5: it in the west. So I said, if I do
Speaker 5: x y z, are you willing to pay me x
Speaker 5: y z. It ain't no problem. It hasn't been done
Speaker 5: out there. So of course I did it. I did
Speaker 5: what I had to do. But done, I had to do.
Speaker 5: A pay plan came involved. You know we're paying you
Speaker 5: want to pay you this amount of money you're making
Speaker 5: more than this politics? You know, I don't. I don't
Speaker 5: have time. I don't have time to play politics for anybody.
Speaker 5: So I met uh Eric. Eric is a friend of
Speaker 5: mine that I know since middle school, talking about back
Speaker 5: since five oh six. So Eric came to LA on
Speaker 5: a vacation with Dave. So he called me as soon
Speaker 5: as he landed, He's like, yo, I'm in La cause
Speaker 5: you know, when you're from New York, you don't know
Speaker 5: a lot of people in l A find the closest person. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like they he called me up, Yeah, said come out.
Speaker 5: So we linked up actually, and then we had fun
Speaker 5: the whole weekend. And then it was one night when
Speaker 5: we were just talking about you know, working in the dealership,
Speaker 5: work from other people. It was we was joking around.
Speaker 5: So we came up with a plan. And once they left,
Speaker 5: you know, you're in the clouds while you're making the plan.
Speaker 5: It sounds good, but until you get back to reality.
Speaker 5: I'm back at work, back in New York. At work,
Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, we're gonna go with the plan
Speaker 5: and what not. So during that week after left, I
Speaker 5: was going through it with my job. So I just left.
Speaker 5: I quit.
Speaker 2: You quit before a right, So you had a plan
Speaker 2: to start your own dealership.
Speaker 5: We had a plan. It was an idea. We had
Speaker 5: none concrete, was just it was just it was were manifesting.
Speaker 2: Everything that's important. And they were in the car business
Speaker 2: as well. Correct, So you quit your job before you
Speaker 2: even had a solid one hundred percent just like I'm done.
Speaker 3: I'm done. The plan was that good?
Speaker 5: Plan was that good? But just the belief in yourself
Speaker 5: is that better?
Speaker 3: Better? Yeah?
Speaker 5: You know when you have that confidence in yourself, knowing
Speaker 5: that you could do anything anywhere. And that's what La
Speaker 5: really showed me. It showed me that I left New York,
Speaker 5: where I'm from, to go to transition to three thousand
Speaker 5: miles away where I don't know anybody, and I became
Speaker 5: a better person once I did that. I'm like, we
Speaker 5: could do this anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2: So all right, so you quit your job and then
Speaker 2: do you call a guy that I just quit? So
Speaker 2: we gotta do this. That conversation we.
Speaker 5: Started talking about it's like, you know, I left, I
Speaker 5: tell you because I was. I was making the most
Speaker 5: money at three of us, Like you left, It's like,
Speaker 5: why would you leave making a half a million dollars
Speaker 5: this dude, I said, Bro, it's just the idea we
Speaker 5: had sounds so great. I think we should do it.
Speaker 5: So when I left, I packed my bags, came back
Speaker 5: to New York, obviously, and then from there we started.
Speaker 5: I came back, I was living in a nice high
Speaker 5: rise condo in LA. I moved back to my father's
Speaker 5: basement while I was living the originally, so I went
Speaker 5: back on the same couch that I was staying at
Speaker 5: when I was younger. So I moved back into my
Speaker 5: father's basement and I said, we're gonna start up. So
Speaker 5: we was actually doing this from the back seat of
Speaker 5: a twenty seventeen court We started selling cars and then
Speaker 5: from there it was just go to brand.
Speaker 3: What was that reaction like when you came back home?
Speaker 3: Was it humbling and.
Speaker 5: Humble? You really got to be extremely humble because everybody
Speaker 5: knew me out here as this big guy like I
Speaker 5: was in flashy cars from twenty one. I had three
Speaker 5: cars at twenty three years old. I had a raindrow,
Speaker 5: a brand new brand new Ay eight. When the I
Speaker 5: A first came the doors go up in a brand
Speaker 5: new six fifty to now coming back in a white
Speaker 5: Honda coord So people looking at you, like, bro, what happened?
Speaker 5: You fell off? You know what I'm saying. But like,
Speaker 5: I think I needed that to humble myself down to
Speaker 5: really to get down to the to the grind. You know.
Speaker 2: One thing I like about this podcast is that we
Speaker 2: interview entrepreneurs and investors and everybody kind of has similar
Speaker 2: type of stories. Sounds sound familiar. Yeah, man, this this
Speaker 2: is sound Alex good. Shout out was good and one
Speaker 2: of our top episodes. He has a trucking business. He's
Speaker 2: making a hundred thousand dollars a month in Atlanta with
Speaker 2: trucks in an online portal and a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: other stuff. Same situation. He was in Miami in a
Speaker 2: high rise, living a high life and what broke and
Speaker 2: had to move back into his mother's and stayed down
Speaker 2: for like ten months and didn't get a haircut anything,
Speaker 2: and same story. And now he's on top of the world.
Speaker 2: So I say that to say a lot of times
Speaker 2: people don't understand, like you you when you were a
Speaker 2: business owner. It's ups and downs in this game. Like
Speaker 2: it's not just a straight peak up, like you got
Speaker 2: to you gotta be able to weather the storm, and
Speaker 2: you got to keep your composure because it's never gonna
Speaker 2: be all good. You gotta you know, you gotta ride
Speaker 2: out the bad times.
Speaker 3: To lose a couple of pounds trying to maintain.
Speaker 2: Man, everybody, everybody's not built for it one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten percent. So all right, So now we got the backstories.
Speaker 2: In the next segment, we're going to talk about how
Speaker 2: you guys actually got the business off and running, and
Speaker 2: then the details of the car business. All right. So
Speaker 2: now we got the backstory and you guys. All right,
Speaker 2: so all you guys with young mid twenties decided that
Speaker 2: you're going to start your own business. So can we
Speaker 2: talk about the beginning stages? All right? So, like what
Speaker 2: happens to start your own car dealership? But how does that?
Speaker 2: How does it happen?
Speaker 4: I feel like the odds are stacked against you. Right,
Speaker 4: Only six percent of eighteen thousand dealerships in the country
Speaker 4: a minority.
Speaker 5: Minority own out of six percent, one percent that's black.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, what does that mean?
Speaker 5: One we are like the one percent on the other side,
Speaker 5: now one percent like in you know, the United States,
Speaker 5: the richest people we're now we're there one percent of
Speaker 5: the people actually own it.
Speaker 2: Well, I told you when you came here, I've never seen,
Speaker 2: you know, a car dealership owned by anybody that was black.
Speaker 2: I've never seen it until now with you. So we
Speaker 2: need you to do us a favor and tell us everything.
Speaker 5: It's well, now, it's very hard only because you know,
Speaker 5: first first of all, at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: you're in white America. You know, let's just let's just
Speaker 5: be real about it. You're in white America, your minorities,
Speaker 5: and you're acting dealerships to trust you when they don't
Speaker 5: even know your background and they don't even know who
Speaker 5: you are, and they don't even know where you're Like,
Speaker 5: we're literally going to dealerships. And when we started asking
Speaker 5: them to give us all their access to inventory, to banks,
Speaker 5: you know, and dealerships has been burned by many brokers
Speaker 5: across the world during the last ten years. So it's
Speaker 5: something that they're scared because they have investments of millions
Speaker 5: of dollars into their store now to let you to
Speaker 5: let you get all that investment and burn it. So
Speaker 5: it's very difficult, you know. Like we went through a
Speaker 5: lot trying to try to just get the shot, the opportunity,
Speaker 5: you know. So what we did, and especially when we started,
Speaker 5: we went back to the people and the stores where
Speaker 5: we worked at. So I started my relationships there because
Speaker 5: I left off great. You know, you never want to
Speaker 5: burn your bridge. So I went back to the stores
Speaker 5: that I worked at to try to use them so
Speaker 5: we could start from somewhere else, you know, from start
Speaker 5: from somewhere. So I used my relationships and the people
Speaker 5: I know to help me out to ask for help,
Speaker 5: you know, and then also using our expertise on how
Speaker 5: can we really change the game and make it different
Speaker 5: from what everybody else is doing?
Speaker 2: So all right, so you asked you worked to Honda, right,
Speaker 2: I worked at Honda. So okay, so you go to Honda,
Speaker 2: you ask them for help. But what does that help mean?
Speaker 2: Like what did they do for you?
Speaker 5: Meaning like let me use your inventory? So like because
Speaker 5: the cars, well, first year, you gotta go, you gotta
Speaker 5: like that's one of the things we went to. Like,
Speaker 5: you have a bunch of old age units that you're
Speaker 5: about to lose money on.
Speaker 2: What's that? What's that?
Speaker 5: Old age units means that any car that's in stock
Speaker 5: for more than ninety days, dealerships lose money. Okay, it's
Speaker 5: hard to lose money because none of the cars that's
Speaker 5: at their dealership, the dealers were actually owns. These cars
Speaker 5: are owned by the bank. So the bank has something
Speaker 5: to call a floor plan, which dealerships pay a certain
Speaker 5: amount of interests, but if they hold it for more
Speaker 5: than ninety days, the interest goes up, So give us
Speaker 5: all your old inventory. Let's help you move it. So
Speaker 5: to win win, we're helping you move inventory, and you're
Speaker 5: helping us get our name out.
Speaker 2: So that's what we started to do. Okay, so you're
Speaker 2: like a broker, correct. Okay, so you didn't have a
Speaker 2: physical location.
Speaker 5: Now, no, who's doing this in the back of a
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen cord which I still own.
Speaker 2: And what do you mean in the back of behind
Speaker 2: our cord, that's what we were.
Speaker 5: That was our office.
Speaker 2: So you were sitting in the back of a car.
Speaker 5: Back of a car. Why we had no place, We
Speaker 5: had no money to get a place.
Speaker 2: Like where were you live? You just go in your bedroom.
Speaker 5: I didn't have a bedroom at the time. I was
Speaker 5: staying in my farest basement in the in the den.
Speaker 4: So y'all literally drained up the map in the back
Speaker 4: seat and somebody obviously in the car and you're like, Yo,
Speaker 4: we're gonna hit this dealership.
Speaker 3: We're gonna hit this one. Yo. That's yours from three
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 5: That's yours on perfect It's like that in the back
Speaker 5: of look back see the car. Who was going to dealerships?
Speaker 5: Who was working together? That was our office.
Speaker 2: That car interesting? So okay, so they are right, So
Speaker 2: they agree to let you sell their old inventory, right, correct.
Speaker 2: Now what do you do after that?
Speaker 5: Now you try to find the clients. That was like, now,
Speaker 5: how we get the clients? How rid the clients to
Speaker 5: not go to a dealership but come to trust these
Speaker 5: three minorities, you know. So actually what I did, I
Speaker 5: went back to where I'm from. I had to touch
Speaker 5: the urban community, you know. So I went back to
Speaker 5: the urban lifestyle. Like I went to Honesty Troop. I
Speaker 5: hit the streets, hit the clubs, hit the I hit
Speaker 5: the hit the urban clubs. I hit the gentlemen's club
Speaker 5: like I hit places. I hit hit places because at
Speaker 5: the end of the day, you got to think about it.
Speaker 5: The Internet, especially with the with the millennials, a lot
Speaker 5: of these influencers are from like the urban culture. You know,
Speaker 5: they have a big a lot of people. So that's
Speaker 5: what I really tapped into, into the urban lifestyle. But
Speaker 5: people who already know me and have the trust in
Speaker 5: me and knew I was selling cars before, you know,
Speaker 5: so instead of going straight to corporate, how to touch
Speaker 5: what's in front of me first. So I touched that
Speaker 5: and then from there we started to grow because a
Speaker 5: lot of people from those urban from those urban clubs
Speaker 5: and whatnot, have huge followings one hundred thousand, three hundred thousand,
Speaker 5: four hundred thousand millions of followers, So we started touching that.
Speaker 5: From there, we started to grow. We sold twenty one
Speaker 5: cars our first month.
Speaker 3: So we're talking.
Speaker 4: Obviously you've got Hondas in there, but like I'm imagining,
Speaker 4: you're going to clubs and you're meeting people. Obviously your networking,
Speaker 4: you're not pitching Honda pilots.
Speaker 5: So like you're telling that I get you anything, and
Speaker 5: I can get you Mercedes, I can get you b
Speaker 5: in W And I'm telling you, I'm telling you this
Speaker 5: before I even got the contact. We don't even have
Speaker 5: the contacts yourself. Like this, I know that if I
Speaker 5: can lock in a deal with you when I go
Speaker 5: to the dealership, I'm coming correct, I reh have a
Speaker 5: client ready credit application month. I need your help. Let's go,
Speaker 5: let's do this together.
Speaker 2: So all right, So okay, so you're selling a product
Speaker 2: that you don't have.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: You're selling a product that you don't have, but you're
Speaker 2: confident that you can get it.
Speaker 5: I can get it.
Speaker 2: So all right, When was the first time somebody said, okay,
Speaker 2: I want to what the first client that wanted something
Speaker 2: that you didn't have?
Speaker 5: Our first client we ever sold well, okay, perfect, So
Speaker 5: what was that we wanted a pre She wanted to
Speaker 5: shout out to Denise, by the way, our first client
Speaker 5: for PTG. Ever, what does she wanted a pren What
Speaker 5: did she do? She was a bartender, bartender urban clubs. Okay,
Speaker 5: it all makes sense now, urban clubs, and obviously I
Speaker 5: try to picture something that that we have, and she says, okay,
Speaker 5: I get the opportunity. I want a twenty fifteen bmw
Speaker 5: XIX pre We had no pre On Connects contacts. I
Speaker 5: never worked for pre On dealership, so I said, a right,
Speaker 5: no problem. I got a hand actually on a loose
Speaker 5: leaf paper because we have no credit application. We just
Speaker 5: started on a lucy paper. I had to fill out
Speaker 5: our information. Seriously. I had to fill out her first team,
Speaker 5: last name, address, because I worked in dealerships, I know information.
Speaker 5: So I had a fell off paper, get a copy
Speaker 5: for license, and I started going from the store to
Speaker 5: store to find this car. On foot. I found this
Speaker 5: car at Mitcheb. She Brooklyn. Shout out to El Patron
Speaker 5: for giving me the opportunity to sell out first car
Speaker 5: for PTG. And then he believes in us another young cat,
Speaker 5: and he gave us the opportunity and then we sold
Speaker 5: off the first car for PTG that day.
Speaker 2: So all right, well, shout out to El Patrol. I
Speaker 2: told you I like these guys that they got the
Speaker 2: bartender and they got to connect from El Patrol. It's
Speaker 2: a whole vib they got a whole vib call. So
Speaker 2: so all right, so how does that work with the broker.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I didn't know that you could be a
Speaker 2: broker from a car dealership. I thought I thought you
Speaker 2: had to actually work in a car dealership.
Speaker 3: Because what we do.
Speaker 5: We did we decided to buy low sello. So if
Speaker 5: I could buy a car are for low price, I'm
Speaker 5: not gonna sell it to you high because we're moving volume.
Speaker 5: We're trying to create the brand, spread the name, you know.
Speaker 5: So we so our whole model is buy low sello.
Speaker 5: We buy it for low cost and we sell it
Speaker 5: to you low. They're not even dealerships keeping at this
Speaker 5: point now can even match, sometimes even match the price
Speaker 5: of what we're selling.
Speaker 2: It to you for so all right, so like if
Speaker 2: you have so if that if that BMW was like
Speaker 2: fifty thousand, you have to buy it from the dealership
Speaker 2: and then you're selling it. Right.
Speaker 5: Well, if it's a pre OWM car, I'm actually I'm
Speaker 5: not gonna buy it from the dealership. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 5: gonna create an agreement with them for the vehicle. You know,
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna buy it. They could, they could keep
Speaker 5: the car. We're gonna run everything through the store. But
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get the client. Same thing as Lisa, same
Speaker 5: thing as Lisa.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So then you do that, You're off
Speaker 2: and running. And then you got twenty other sales that
Speaker 2: that month and.
Speaker 5: One month, and that one repost from her brought more clients.
Speaker 5: You know, you see what the model I'm going for.
Speaker 3: So the bartend she was an influencer.
Speaker 2: She's run followers this.
Speaker 5: Year about one hundred thousand. At that time.
Speaker 2: She like, like you put like a bowl on the
Speaker 2: car for her.
Speaker 5: We had no, we didn't have a red buall at
Speaker 5: first sale to get a red ball at the time
Speaker 5: that started after no confetti, just a picture and a car.
Speaker 2: You know, So all right, so you're so you got
Speaker 2: all right, So then from there you're up and running
Speaker 2: and you're you're developing these relationship I'm assuming, correct me
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. But you're developing these relationships with different
Speaker 2: car dealers correct. And you're kind of like the middleman
Speaker 2: in a sense where you're going to these car dealerships.
Speaker 2: You're getting cars that's not really selling, correct, you're selling
Speaker 2: it to people, and then you're getting profit off of that.
Speaker 5: Correct.
Speaker 2: But you still don't have a physical location yet. No,
Speaker 2: but all right, but you're building up, So at what
Speaker 2: point do you decide to get a physical location.
Speaker 5: We got our physical location in February, where we came
Speaker 5: off our worst month ever, which was January. We sold
Speaker 5: ten cars in January, which is no, no, no, there's
Speaker 5: two thousand and eight he started, No, seventeen, were so
Speaker 5: twenty one December we sold like twenty, and then January
Speaker 5: we so ten. So nobody could afford any type of
Speaker 5: lifestyle or even to put feed their feed. Their family
Speaker 5: were set in ten cars.
Speaker 2: So you were doing it for a year with no
Speaker 2: physical ooka. We were doing it for a four months
Speaker 2: four months.
Speaker 5: And then we said, you know, we need to get
Speaker 5: a location. We need to sit down. So we decided
Speaker 5: to get a small little office, uh in a Regions building.
Speaker 5: You know, spending like spending like fourteen hundred hours a month.
Speaker 5: That's what we had.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So when when somebody came to the office, now,
Speaker 4: do you have a catalog of what you can do?
Speaker 3: Or you just sit down saying what do you want
Speaker 3: and we'll go get it?
Speaker 5: Correctly, they had no catalog. We were just working everything
Speaker 5: based off the internet. Like we used to run around
Speaker 5: every morning to take pictures of cars on everybody else's.
Speaker 3: Lot, yeah, and then post itselves.
Speaker 5: Remember this is February, it's cold, so like I will
Speaker 5: Dave will go to Honda, I will go to Mercedes,
Speaker 5: Eric will go to BMW. Will take pictures every single
Speaker 5: day and then meet about the office and then to
Speaker 5: post on our Instagram. And people want it obviously to
Speaker 5: picture the car ready, you know, so his pictures of
Speaker 5: the cars, but it looks like when a drive it,
Speaker 5: come up, you drive it.
Speaker 2: So social media really helped you, guys.
Speaker 5: Social media was our biggest platform to change the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now I want the car, how do I
Speaker 3: test drive the car?
Speaker 5: At that point, at that point, we got to bring
Speaker 5: it to the dealership because we have no trust yet.
Speaker 3: Are you picking me up?
Speaker 5: We mean no, no, at that time, at that point
Speaker 5: in the January February yards eighteen, we're meeting each other. Okay,
Speaker 5: you know, we're definitely meeting.
Speaker 2: Each other at the dealership. At the dealership, So why
Speaker 2: would some so all right, if somebody was saying, like,
Speaker 2: why why not just buy directly from the dealers, Yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that's a good question. I guess it
Speaker 5: would tell you the truth. It was our personality, the
Speaker 5: information that we came to you up front, because sometimes
Speaker 5: when you go to dealerships a lot of people, you
Speaker 5: could sit there for six seven hours, going back and forth,
Speaker 5: spending almost half your day. A numbers change. Sometimes when
Speaker 5: you agree with one person here, you go see your
Speaker 5: finance manager, you see a different number. And I know
Speaker 5: that because I was on that side of the field.
Speaker 5: So what we became is very transparent with our clients,
Speaker 5: very real, very in debt, you know, telling you exactly
Speaker 5: what it is when you get there. It's exactly what
Speaker 5: we promised you. So that's what we was offering.
Speaker 3: They must have hated seeing y'all coming in.
Speaker 5: Guys, they didn't like us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you never got it like any backlash from
Speaker 2: like the other reps at the place, like why y're
Speaker 2: letting these guys come in selling our product?
Speaker 5: Of course to salespeople. But the ownership was loving it
Speaker 5: because because you're probably move your moving cars off your
Speaker 5: image of moving your product, so why wantn't you let
Speaker 5: But salespeople was upset because how these sales guys don't
Speaker 5: even work here on the outside. It's come as allowed
Speaker 5: to come in and eat our food. That's how they're
Speaker 5: looking at it.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. I've never heard of this before. This makes
Speaker 3: a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: No, it sounds it sounds like it makes a lot
Speaker 2: of sense though if you think about it, because it's
Speaker 2: like it's not selling anyway, so let me sell.
Speaker 5: Let me take that off your hand, never take off
Speaker 5: your hands.
Speaker 2: Okay. So all right, so then you scale, But at
Speaker 2: what point do you right, how much money you're making
Speaker 2: at that point in time? How much is the business
Speaker 2: making at that point when you first got your reachar's office.
Speaker 5: For grossing probably like thirty thousand a month, very low,
Speaker 5: extremely low, but.
Speaker 2: It's not bad. Well gross, No, but you grow, you
Speaker 2: say you was putting eighty percent of the money back
Speaker 2: into the business, everything back in the business, so you
Speaker 2: wasn't really netting well, how much were your net like
Speaker 2: a couple like five fourth out?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we was near. We was putting everything back into
Speaker 5: the business, everything and everything. Everything. They really changed November
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen when when one of my partners just going
Speaker 5: through family time with his passing and his father and
Speaker 5: then he had to like go away for a couple
Speaker 5: of by a month to take care of his family,
Speaker 5: and it was really just me and Dave, and we
Speaker 5: decided to hire three people, you know, during that month
Speaker 5: while Eric was gone. And then when that in that month,
Speaker 5: we really changed the game. Like we hired three people.
Speaker 5: It was me, Eric, it was me and Dave. When
Speaker 5: we sold about fifty cars that month, we was like,
Speaker 5: oh damn, like we're going to sell Before that we
Speaker 5: was doing twenty thirty. We sold fifty cars.
Speaker 3: You hired them and taught them the skills.
Speaker 2: Correct hire salespeople salespeople. So all right, how did that
Speaker 2: work when you hired your first salesperson? Because you still
Speaker 2: don't have an you don't have it, well, you still
Speaker 2: don't you don't have a tory. Now we'll talk about that,
Speaker 2: but you don't have any inventory. It's not like a
Speaker 2: regular salesperson when you hire to sell a product. So
Speaker 2: how did that work when you hired your first salesperson,
Speaker 2: like where they don't have anything to really sell in
Speaker 2: the store.
Speaker 5: Well, you got to sell them on your dream and
Speaker 5: you got to really sell somebody on your vision. Remember,
Speaker 5: you only could see your vision yourself. Nobody can't see
Speaker 5: it for you, you know, so you have to they
Speaker 5: have to have that belief in you and belief into
Speaker 5: yourself that hey, trust me on this. It's going to work.
Speaker 5: It's going to work. It's going to work. And based
Speaker 5: on our experience and knowledge and how we were progressing,
Speaker 5: they believed in us, you know. So that mom, like
Speaker 5: I said, we did fifty cars and then when Eric
Speaker 5: got back to us in December, we grew to now
Speaker 5: sixty and we started hiring more people. And now we've
Speaker 5: really seen what like how we're going to grow our scale.
Speaker 5: It's really employing and you know, having employment like really
Speaker 5: having people join you and to see the same vision
Speaker 5: you're on. In from there, just grow group, group, grow
Speaker 5: group fast and rapidly.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: And then we had an office which was three hundred
Speaker 5: square feet, only two desks and having seven salespeople. So
Speaker 5: where they work at a home, they will work on
Speaker 5: the road with us in the car or at the office.
Speaker 2: Did they market the cars or like?
Speaker 5: So how that they had we use the same model.
Speaker 5: What's helped us get here? We had everybody do it.
Speaker 5: But now you have to go now you have to
Speaker 5: go to bed. But it's not better because now instead
Speaker 5: of three people, now we have seven.
Speaker 3: People just to uh.
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things that a lot of
Speaker 4: our guess say is like the best thing they did
Speaker 4: is replicate themselves.
Speaker 3: Right, we couldn't. We can't go to one hundred stores
Speaker 3: in a day.
Speaker 4: But if we get ten people right that know exactly
Speaker 4: what we want in the same vision, now they can
Speaker 4: go to ten stores. Correct, And now we got the
Speaker 4: same amount of people going.
Speaker 2: It's fundamentals of business that once again, all of our
Speaker 2: guests have the same story. You have to it's all
Speaker 2: money in. You have to put money into the business.
Speaker 2: We've heard that from a variety of different yests. You
Speaker 2: have to put money, especially in the beginning stage. You
Speaker 2: have to put money into the business and you need help.
Speaker 2: You can only go so far by yourself. A lot
Speaker 2: of times people try to skim on important things and
Speaker 2: they don't want to hire anybody. They try to do
Speaker 2: everything themselves to save money. But you're going to stay small,
Speaker 2: you're losing money.
Speaker 5: They're actually losing money by doing that. Remember, the more
Speaker 5: money that goes around, the more you grow, the more
Speaker 5: happy everybody is, the more people that see you. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So that's what I have no problem.
Speaker 5: I will never do what do do to other people
Speaker 5: what was done to me when I was employed that dealership.
Speaker 5: I would never decide to change your playmate, dude, especially
Speaker 5: when you're bringing us business and you're helping us grow.
Speaker 5: You know That's that would never do it to somebody.
Speaker 2: So are you paying these are you paying them money?
Speaker 2: Or are every commission commission commission?
Speaker 5: Yeah, unless you're like obviously like our staff, like my assistant,
Speaker 5: like we have four people on salary, we have fifty
Speaker 5: seven people that.
Speaker 3: Work for us.
Speaker 2: Now, is it? What's what's the commission is the same
Speaker 2: for everybody? Or depends on how much how much you sell?
Speaker 5: Well, what's on a scale, because it's a sales so
Speaker 5: it's on a scale. So the more you sell, the
Speaker 5: more you make. The less you sell, the that you make,
Speaker 5: it's really.
Speaker 3: All up to you.
Speaker 2: So all right and all right, so you start to
Speaker 2: so when you really hit your stride, like you really
Speaker 2: start to just start sprinting on this thing.
Speaker 5: Our first hundred car month, when was that? That was
Speaker 5: in Our first hundred car month was April two thousand
Speaker 5: and I'm sorry, it was March twenty and nineteen.
Speaker 4: That's this Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. Like I'm listening to
Speaker 4: you said like when we started. I'm like, wait, that
Speaker 4: was just last year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's quick.
Speaker 2: So March March that's when you sold one hundred cars.
Speaker 5: March thousand, nineteen sold one hundred and five cars.
Speaker 2: So when did you move it to your new office
Speaker 2: that you're in now.
Speaker 5: We moved in in October last month.
Speaker 2: We just moved in.
Speaker 3: We just moved in.
Speaker 2: Okay, So before that he was in the reaches.
Speaker 5: It was in the regions, still doing one hundred and
Speaker 5: seventy cars on the sixty cars and the reaches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so why did you move into the new spaces
Speaker 2: to do more?
Speaker 5: You know, we finished off last month of the record
Speaker 5: month two hundred and twenty seven cars.
Speaker 2: Wow, twenty and twenty seven cars.
Speaker 5: And November twenty seventeen did twenty one. So within two years,
Speaker 5: what is that? What's the number on that? Ten times more?
Speaker 2: Literally? So you still but you still to this day
Speaker 2: you don't have any inventory. No, you said you set
Speaker 2: off camera. You're like the uber Ruber eats of cars. Correct,
Speaker 2: So can you explain that business model that you did?
Speaker 2: Explain it? But now that you're bigger, it's the same
Speaker 2: exact thing.
Speaker 5: Now now it's even now it's a lot easier.
Speaker 2: So you're true. You have established relationships with dealer ships.
Speaker 5: I have dealership that called me out of town asking
Speaker 5: me to help them.

Speaker 2: that I want to reach out to that has like
Speaker 2: a large following, I know that nine times I tell
Speaker 2: they're not going to see my DM. So I do
Speaker 2: exactly what you just said. I'll go to see who

Speaker 5: do good business, you know, because we don't do good business,
Speaker 5: you will not be able to get these referrals and
Speaker 5: clients from other people because they're putting their name on
Speaker 5: the line for you.
Speaker 2: So all right, So then you guys, so then you

Speaker 3: back verder six, I have them.
Speaker 2: Let's talk. We'll talk off.
Speaker 5: I delivered. I was one of the first persons delivering
Speaker 5: one in New York to Jizy Doll, which is another
Speaker 5: big popular bartender. You know she has won a white
Speaker 5: one white with red. I'm delivering another one this week.
Speaker 2: Bartenders are very influential. We know a few, but no, no, no,
Speaker 2: all right, we'll edit that out, but all right, so, no,
Speaker 2: Barton is a very influential people in New York City.
Speaker 2: Because there's nearly no clubs anymore. If you're not familiar
Speaker 2: with New York City, they shut down all the clubs
Speaker 2: and they're shutting out a lot of gentlemen. Gentlemen, but
Speaker 2: the dancers aren't really as popular as they are in
Speaker 2: the South. The bartenders are startenders now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh a boogey of a client of ours too
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's a little off topic, but shout out to
Speaker 2: all the bos. So all right, so how did you
Speaker 2: get the spot in Okay, so you just opened up
Speaker 2: your location the same location.
Speaker 5: In New York?
Speaker 2: What's the first location?
Speaker 5: Was Manhasset? Oh that's the the region's office, correct, I first? Still,
Speaker 5: well we still have because I have my assistant sometimes
Speaker 5: over there.
Speaker 2: Okay. So the offices that you have in l A,
Speaker 2: and do you have offices or.
Speaker 5: I have an office in l A and I have
Speaker 5: an office in Miami. You don't have storefronts there yet,
Speaker 5: but that's coming into.
Speaker 2: You have like this regular office space space, and then
Speaker 2: you have you have people work how many people you
Speaker 2: have working in l A?
Speaker 5: Eleven?
Speaker 2: How people in Miami?
Speaker 5: Because I partnered up with somebody in l A.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, and Miami to partner.
Speaker 5: Miami has just trade us.
Speaker 2: How do people at work in Miami seven You got
Speaker 2: a manager there or yeah, one man, sales director, sales director.
Speaker 2: So all right, this is actually very interesting. This is
Speaker 2: actually a very interesting conversation because you have car dealers,
Speaker 2: you have car dealerships, but you don't have any cars.
Speaker 5: Nope, that's like I said, well, Uber Uber Uber doesn't
Speaker 5: own any of their thing. They don't own Amazon doesn't
Speaker 5: own him. The probably all resourced out, it's all through
Speaker 5: your resources.
Speaker 3: So you've you've done that model? Was that like the mindset?
Speaker 4: Like I've seen this company, right, they have no infrastructure,
Speaker 4: but they like as of right now to this day.
Speaker 5: I got offered h offered dealerships from manufacturers and also
Speaker 5: offers some dealers that are people that own dealerships to
Speaker 5: partner up to own a store. I don't want to
Speaker 5: own a store. I real don't want to own the
Speaker 5: store because then I'm limited to one brand.
Speaker 2: You know what the biggest hotel chain brand in the
Speaker 2: world is, It's gotta be the biggest uh taxi franchise.
Speaker 2: We know that, we know that all of these all
Speaker 2: of these guys don't own any inventory nothing.
Speaker 4: And yeah, That's what I'm saying. I did that naturally
Speaker 4: or was that the mindset going in? No, that was
Speaker 4: the mindset going in.
Speaker 5: I don't want to own anything because if you own,
Speaker 5: for example, you own a Toyota dealer ship right, and
Speaker 5: somebody comes into you, for example, Toyota camera customer wants
Speaker 5: to Toyota Camera. But on their mind they have a
Speaker 5: comparable car, the Camri, Hondai, Sonata, or Honda Cord. When
Speaker 5: they walk into Toyota, that salesperson has to sell them
Speaker 5: a CAMERI. You're gonna try to bash the Honda Cord.
Speaker 5: You're gonna bash the Sonata, even though you know a
Speaker 5: Cord might be a better car. Bring going to bash
Speaker 5: those cars just to sell a CAMERI. So how so
Speaker 5: that person selling your car, how could you really trust them?
Speaker 5: Are they in the best interest to you or for
Speaker 5: themselves to make money off you to sell you a car?
Speaker 5: When you come to PTG three sixty five, it's whatever
Speaker 5: you want, I'm going to sell you on the best
Speaker 5: program and the best bang for your dollar. So I'm
Speaker 5: gonna tell you, hey, the Honda Cord is this amount
Speaker 5: of month can read? Is this amount the hounding is
Speaker 5: this amount, This is what the features, these are what
Speaker 5: you're gonna get. You choose, it's up to you. Now,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna help you with any three of you want,
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna deliver that car to you within forty
Speaker 5: hours to your office, the restaurant, to your wedding, to
Speaker 5: your home, to anywhere you want. I'm gonna give that
Speaker 5: opportunity to you. I'm gonna lay it out. That's why
Speaker 5: people come to us, because I'm not just here to
Speaker 5: sell you a car. I'm here to sell you also
Speaker 5: a lifestyle and help you to pick make a decision,
Speaker 5: you know, on any model that you want.
Speaker 2: So you're not really making that much money off of cars,
Speaker 2: but you're selling a lot of cars.
Speaker 5: You're selling a lot of cars, and by selling a
Speaker 5: lot of cars, you start tapping into different markets, you
Speaker 5: start tapping into different venues and different businesses. Because a
Speaker 5: lot of Membo, all of our clients is something different.
Speaker 5: So we're creating a different We're creating opportunity, We're creating
Speaker 5: new businesses. You know, like we're going into next year
Speaker 5: with now opening up a body shop. You know, we
Speaker 5: have a mobile wash.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: Also, we're shooting right now for a TV show. So
Speaker 5: this is opening a lot of different avenues and ventures.
Speaker 5: So it's bigger than it's bigger than cars. That's why
Speaker 5: if you look at our logo, there's no car. There's
Speaker 5: no car. You look at brokers, they will have a
Speaker 5: car car car card, even says orderly sing blah blah blah.
Speaker 5: We're PTG three sixty five has nothing to say, nothing
Speaker 5: about sales and say nothing about least nothing about buying
Speaker 5: because it's a lifestyle.
Speaker 3: It's something different, it's true. But you're not just all
Speaker 3: high end right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything, y'all, y'all help, but you'all help not just
Speaker 4: high client sell clients, but you know, low income clients too.
Speaker 5: Lower income client, lower incomes. And we understand that because
Speaker 5: we're from I'm from work, I'm from I'm from a
Speaker 5: working class neighborhood and from a working class home, you know,
Speaker 5: So we definitely understand that. We have multiple programs for
Speaker 5: a lot of people as well.
Speaker 2: Talk about that the next segment. But the last question
Speaker 2: that I had is, all right, so you say you
Speaker 2: make the car buying experience different for the car buyers,
Speaker 2: and you also make the selling experience different for the salespeople,
Speaker 2: So can you walk me through that? Like if I'm
Speaker 2: regular Joe Schmoe off the street and I want to
Speaker 2: buy a Hunter Court, I don't want to buy. I can't.
Speaker 2: I don't have money for Lamborghini. I'm coming to your office.
Speaker 2: You don't have any inventory. So I'm telling you this
Speaker 2: is my budget. Can you like walk me through, like
Speaker 2: what the what the sales process is?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna get your budget. I'm also going to
Speaker 5: get right now. We have a system which is soft pool,
Speaker 5: which is amazing because a lot of people like to
Speaker 5: run their credit because of inquiries and whatnot. And with
Speaker 5: our system, it's a soft pole so there's no inquiry.
Speaker 5: So I can run your right now. For my phone mobile,
Speaker 5: I don't have to bit the dealership. I can run
Speaker 5: it right now, literally right here, and I can pull
Speaker 5: up your credit score and there's no inquiry. So you're
Speaker 5: trusting me because now you're not. It's not hurting you.
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna look at your credit, uh, look at
Speaker 5: your income as well, and put you into the best
Speaker 5: car because I'm also gonna protect you. But I'm also
Speaker 5: gonna protect the bank because I'm not gonna put you
Speaker 5: in something that you can't afford, and it's gonna hurt
Speaker 5: you a year, a year, or a year and a
Speaker 5: half from now. A lot of dealerships are ran like that.
Speaker 5: Our dealerships don't do that. And because what's going on
Speaker 5: a lot of dealerships on what's going on with their salespeople.
Speaker 5: Salespeople are trying to just sell a car just to
Speaker 5: make a lot of money, but they're actually hurting the
Speaker 5: client because you're putting the client to a car they
Speaker 5: really can't afford. And what's gonna happen a year from
Speaker 5: now when a client gets a repo, it's gonna hurt
Speaker 5: the dealership because the bank is gonna come to you.
Speaker 5: So you know this customer and it makes four thousand
Speaker 5: dollars a month before tax, coming home and making twenty
Speaker 5: eight hundred, but they have bills. Why are you giving
Speaker 5: a customer seven hundreds of payment. I'm not even gonna
Speaker 5: put you in that situation. I'm gonna help you build
Speaker 5: with a two or three hundred dollars payment. So a year,
Speaker 5: year and a half from now, if you make more
Speaker 5: income or whatever the case me being, your credit score
Speaker 5: is better, you can help put you into your next
Speaker 5: dream card. So we're actually here for you. You know,
Speaker 5: I'm here for the long run. Like I said, I'm
Speaker 5: twenty seven years old. Majority of people that work for
Speaker 5: me is twenty five and under, you know, so they're
Speaker 5: gonna be here forever.
Speaker 4: So I just thought of someone when you said that, Right,
Speaker 4: you had you establish relationship with dealerships, But how about
Speaker 4: the relationship with the bank.
Speaker 5: With the banks, the banks are the most important. The
Speaker 5: dealers are the middlemans of the banks, right, you know,
Speaker 5: Like we're establishing our relationship with the manufacturers. That's what
Speaker 5: we're with the manufacturing. The banks. At the end of
Speaker 5: the day, it's their money they're put on the line.
Speaker 5: So I'm establishing my relationship with them, showing them how
Speaker 5: we could protect your investment into the clients. And I'm
Speaker 5: showing the clients how I'm gonna protect protect you with
Speaker 5: the bank car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you said that because like, yeah, so
Speaker 2: you have like when they lease the car, buy a
Speaker 2: car that has to come from the bank, and like
Speaker 2: so like if you have a like Mercedes has their
Speaker 2: own bank.
Speaker 5: Right, Mecedes has their own bank. Lexus Lexis Toyota, lex Toyota,
Speaker 5: the same company they have their own banks.
Speaker 2: So all right, so how does that work for you guys?
Speaker 2: Since you're independent like what you have, you use one
Speaker 2: bank or you use a couple.
Speaker 5: Different use every single bank in the US.
Speaker 3: How many banks you're working with?
Speaker 5: About one hundred and seventy So I'm throughout the US
Speaker 5: and that's different. I'm not just New York, so I'm
Speaker 5: throughout the US. So I get you loan was with
Speaker 5: banks that's in Ohio. That's that New York dealership don't
Speaker 5: have access to I read something you said that you
Speaker 5: do credit matching with banks. So if I have eight
Speaker 5: hundred credit score, you know what bank? I already know
Speaker 5: what banks have a four hundred credit score? You already
Speaker 5: know I know banks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because how you developed reationship with the banks?
Speaker 5: I mean now it's a lot easier because times they
Speaker 5: know who we are.
Speaker 2: Well before that, like originally before there was.
Speaker 5: Really take you before you had to re established by
Speaker 5: doing new cars first, by establishing with new car dealerships
Speaker 5: new cars because obviously I worked in a new car
Speaker 5: franchise and I was a finance director, so my name
Speaker 5: was high into the new car industry. So I basically
Speaker 5: leverage off my name, who exactly who I was.
Speaker 2: And then once you became bigger, it became you. You
Speaker 2: still we reached out to banks individually, or we reached.
Speaker 5: Out to banks, yeah, by picking up the phone and
Speaker 5: letting them know what we're doing and how could we
Speaker 5: expand your business as well, because a lot of people
Speaker 5: here are working class. You know, we're working class people.
Speaker 5: So we work nine to five, nine to six, nine
Speaker 5: and seven. We have two draft nine to nine. They
Speaker 5: don't have time to go to they don't have time
Speaker 5: to go to the dealership all day and sit around.
Speaker 5: So I'm telling the banks, let me do your legwork
Speaker 5: for you, and you could just earn on your side,
Speaker 5: So win win.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So in the next segment and the last segment, we're
Speaker 2: gonna go into the community give back aspect of it,
Speaker 2: because you guys got a lot of good things going
Speaker 2: in different programs and things of that nature. So we're
Speaker 2: gonn getting that all right, So in the last segment,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about some some really cool things
Speaker 2: that you guys got going on. Because in business, a
Speaker 2: lot of times we get wrapped up and making money.
Speaker 2: But the thing I like about you guys is not
Speaker 2: all about the money. You got a lot of different things.
Speaker 2: So you got a program in place for single mothers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: can you explain that.
Speaker 5: So what we do for single mothers is that we
Speaker 5: have two options for you where we have a no
Speaker 5: no down payment option where you don't need no money
Speaker 5: down to get the vehicle, or your first ninety days
Speaker 5: of no payments. I mean like you don't have to
Speaker 5: pay a call payment till for the next ninety days
Speaker 5: to help you get on your feet and get everything
Speaker 5: intact and roles. You're gonna make sure that we put
Speaker 5: you in an affordable car because we don't want to
Speaker 5: hurt your credit, don't want to sell your car to
Speaker 5: make some money. And the next thing that you get
Speaker 5: a repoke, that's gonna hurt us and hurt you.
Speaker 2: And that's for any any single moment, any single more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yelly us in us. YEA lunched that on Mother's
Speaker 4: Day this year. That was the safe year.
Speaker 5: I think we lost this year this year and it
Speaker 5: was huge for us. So we did a lot of
Speaker 5: single mothers and it was just amazing, you know, like
Speaker 5: it's like you're talking about not for the money, like
Speaker 5: it has your purpose in life has to be bigger
Speaker 5: than money. Yeah, because you go only go so far
Speaker 5: by chasing money. The only gonna bring you so far
Speaker 5: when your purpose is bigger than that and you actually
Speaker 5: have that and you're actually touching people's lives and help
Speaker 5: changing that's what that's the true meaning, you know, because
Speaker 5: the world is going to just bring you more.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy too, is it might sound corny
Speaker 2: to somebody that's not really doesn't really notice, but it's true.
Speaker 2: You'll make more money too. Like when you're chasing your purpose,
Speaker 2: you'll make more money than you just chasing a check.
Speaker 5: One hundred percent. Because people people tell me you're chasing money,
Speaker 5: chasing money. Money is not invisible.
Speaker 3: It's not an.
Speaker 5: Invisible man or woman were chasing around trying to find you.
Speaker 5: Money is here to be made. It's here.
Speaker 2: You just got to go make it.
Speaker 5: But when you deliver a great service and a great
Speaker 5: product and great customer satisfaction, it's gonna come. Word's gonna
Speaker 5: get out. The money is gonna come to you. Like
Speaker 5: think about it. When you're successful, success comes to you.
Speaker 5: People only want to work with successful people.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 5: You don't wake up every day say I want to
Speaker 5: work with this guy because he's a bum. I want
Speaker 5: to work with this guy because he's not doing nothing. No,
Speaker 5: you want to work with people and do something with
Speaker 5: people because they're successful at what they do. And that's
Speaker 5: the reason why I tell you truth that I'm even
Speaker 5: here with you guys. Are you guys in here with
Speaker 5: me because of success of what you guys did with
Speaker 5: your company? And can I commend you on that? Because
Speaker 5: if you guys wasn't successful, I just looked at it like, no,
Speaker 5: I'm not doing it. And if you guys looked at
Speaker 5: me like, hey, this guy's not doing nothing, I don't
Speaker 5: want him on air. Think about it. You know. So
Speaker 5: success breeds success, that's true.
Speaker 4: One of the things that make you, guys unique is
Speaker 4: you have a credit repair service, credit reservation service, credit.
Speaker 3: Restauration and you actually do your own auto insurance.
Speaker 5: Is that true? Well, we refer other people to order brokers,
Speaker 5: I mean to order people people who do auto insurance.
Speaker 5: But credit repair and financial education is what we do.
Speaker 5: And financial education, I'll say the truth is for totally
Speaker 5: for free.
Speaker 3: How does that look? Do y'all go to people's home.
Speaker 5: We go to actually to seminars, we go to seminars,
Speaker 5: which we don't charge for anything. You know, we go
Speaker 5: to seminars and we did a lot of public high
Speaker 5: schools this year. We just finished doing our first university,
Speaker 5: which was William Patterson University out in Jersey, and for nothing,
Speaker 5: for not a dollar. It's just to really give you
Speaker 5: the information back on what you should know. Because I
Speaker 5: always look at it as if I had this information
Speaker 5: at twenty one, twenty nineteen eighteen, I can imagine why
Speaker 5: I'd have been at twenty seven. I say, I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm blessed and happy where I'm at now, but but
Speaker 5: I want better for you, you know, like when you're
Speaker 5: my age, I want you to be better than who
Speaker 5: I am. That's why we give these knowledge people, and
Speaker 5: that's the goal. People understand that, like we're here at
Speaker 5: that we're supposed to make everybody else better. If you're not,
Speaker 5: if I'm not making you better, if you're not making
Speaker 5: me better, you shouldn't be around. You Gotta wake up
Speaker 5: with that purpose, Like who lives are you touching today
Speaker 5: that you're gonna make better?
Speaker 2: That's a fact. And so how does that credit situation work?
Speaker 2: Like you like you have like a credit specialist in house.
Speaker 5: Yeh, we have a credit specialist in house that we
Speaker 5: use and also the knowledge of just like sometimes you
Speaker 5: if it's so small, it's so easy, but we don't
Speaker 5: know this because it was never taught. You know, think
Speaker 5: about it in these inner city communities, like your parents
Speaker 5: have bad credit because sometimes your parents wasn't born here,
Speaker 5: they just came here, so you know, they don't don't
Speaker 5: they don't know nothing about credit. So if your parents
Speaker 5: don't know nothing about credit, how are you posting? Only
Speaker 5: think about credit? You're gonna grow up not knowing. So
Speaker 5: you're gotta not pay this, not pay this. Oh it's
Speaker 5: okay to pay late, it's not a problem. But no,
Speaker 5: it's not you know what I'm saying. So now we're
Speaker 5: teaching you what to do and what not to do
Speaker 5: because we already learned from it from our past and whatnot.
Speaker 5: You know, so how to how to establish yourself. And
Speaker 5: it's learning from me myself too, Like you know, like
Speaker 5: two years ago I had a five to eighty credit
Speaker 5: score and now I have an eight p fifty.
Speaker 2: And it helps your business too because ultimately, you know,
Speaker 2: you develop long term customers and the higher credit score
Speaker 2: is the better, you know, customers.
Speaker 5: They are, and it's easier to get you into a
Speaker 5: car with no money down, no money We getting calls
Speaker 5: left and right because you established credit and.
Speaker 3: You're helping their credit.
Speaker 4: Right, if you think about it, if I have a
Speaker 4: four hundred score and you can find in your bank,
Speaker 4: that's going to allow me to get a loan, obviously
Speaker 4: you're looking out for my best interest. You don't get
Speaker 4: me a low payment. As I pay on that car,
Speaker 4: my credit will increase one hundred percent. Can you got
Speaker 4: a lot of people I'll come in.
Speaker 5: I want to get a bend, so I want to
Speaker 5: get to be more to get the foreign But I
Speaker 5: got a four inch credit score. It's not gonna happen
Speaker 5: like that. You got to build yourself. You gotta sometimes
Speaker 5: make sacrifices in order to be successful, and that's the
Speaker 5: name of the game. So hey, I we're gonna help you.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put you in a first time buas program
Speaker 5: or forgiveness program. You're gotta get this car. You gotta build,
Speaker 5: You're gonna pay on time. You gotta reestablish yourself with
Speaker 5: the bank. With these banks. So now when you're ready
Speaker 5: to get to the BMW bens, I can sell to
Speaker 5: my people at Benz of BMW in the bank. Hey,
Speaker 5: this guy re established yourself. Forget about the past. He
Speaker 5: paid on time for the last eighteen months, four hundreds
Speaker 5: a month on this car. Let's give this opportunity to
Speaker 5: pay five to fifty months of this bands. Trust me,
Speaker 5: he has it. And now you got the opportunity. Now
Speaker 5: your whole life changes from there.
Speaker 2: All right, dope, But then you got to you got
Speaker 2: something big coming up with Thanksgiving, right, yeah.
Speaker 5: Huge, one hundred percent. I'm actually excited for that. I
Speaker 5: was waiting. I was so upset last year we didn't
Speaker 5: get a chance to do this, so I said, next year,

Speaker 5: us like that. They say, we see what you guys
Speaker 5: are doing, which is amazing because the bigger picture for
Speaker 5: us is that, yes, we live this. We live this
Speaker 5: lifestyle that a lot of people see, you know, like
Speaker 5: like the Lamborghinis, the traveling, the private jets at the
Speaker 5: end of the day with businessmen. So I want to
Speaker 5: show to a lot of kids growing up that you
Speaker 5: could live the lifestyles you see on TV and be
Speaker 5: and not only have to rap, not only have to sing,
Speaker 5: I have to dance, now have to be a ball
Speaker 5: player just to live that lifestyle. And I think that
Speaker 5: we're so caught up in that is that we see
Speaker 5: these role models but on TV, so we see like
Speaker 5: we only have to we only could rap to do this,
Speaker 5: We have to do this, No, bro like you could
Speaker 5: live your dream and be the best you that you
Speaker 5: can be, Like, be number one in your field. I'm
Speaker 5: not telling you, come sell cars. I'm not telling you
Speaker 5: do real estate. I can tell you here something. Come
Speaker 5: sell cars, be with us, But that night that might
Speaker 5: not be fit for you, you know, So be you
Speaker 5: at whatever it is. But be number one, be that,
Speaker 5: be that person, you know what I'm saying. So what
Speaker 5: we're doing with this PTG three sixty five is gonna
Speaker 5: be the one to set the trend for the auto,
Speaker 5: for the auto game in history. Like we're number one,
Speaker 5: we would refer the first auto brokers to have a show.
Speaker 5: You know, Instagram already told us that we're gonna be
Speaker 5: the first auto brokers to be verified on Instagram. Like
Speaker 5: they're gonna be the first. Like I'm just trying to
Speaker 5: set the trend. So and the trend is to just
Speaker 5: be you, whatever the case may be, but be number
Speaker 5: one at what you do. Just be number one at
Speaker 5: what you do.
Speaker 4: You mentioned the jets, Speaking of jets, I saw somewhere

Speaker 5: actually gonna be selling jets, like not to just put
Speaker 5: you on a jet.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be selling jelling.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So that's tapping into a whole new different clients.
Speaker 5: And that comes Remember when you sell a big call.
Speaker 5: When I sell a Rose Royce couloring, takes a certain
Speaker 5: type of income to drive that car. So now when
Speaker 5: I tip them to that person who driving that car,
Speaker 5: who does he know or who does who is he
Speaker 5: working for? Remember the person that cut his checks not
Speaker 5: driving the Rose's coloring it, he's flying the G five fifty.
Speaker 5: So that's tapping into a whole new tapping into a
Speaker 5: whole new market that we're excited for.

Speaker 5: love help change your lives. Like that's to me, that's
Speaker 5: most one of the most that's the most amazing thing
Speaker 5: you could do in this world. Because there's two types
Speaker 5: of people. You forget super people. You don't forget people
Speaker 5: that did bad to you, and then people that did
Speaker 5: good for you. You forget the in between, you know,
