Garage Storage Dealer

I am very excited to be a dealer for Gorgeous Garage. As a dealer, perhaps the best aspect of the situation is that the people at Gorgeous Garage work hard to support me and help me succeed. I take confidence in knowing that they are only successful when their dealers are successful. This was apparent from the beginning as I learned how the dealership agreement was structured.
Compared to the franchise fees of other business opportunities, the dealership fee is very modest, especially when I considered that nearly half covers our first order of product and the rest goes to services and materials that have helped me start my business. As I looked at the agreement and did some calculations, I quickly realized that Gorgeous Garage hardly profits from dealers merely signing on. They only benefit as we dealers have sales and experience success. Therefore, they are highly motivated to share their knowledge, experience and resources to support us. I have genuinely felt that support ever since my initial contact with them. By the end of the two day training in Idaho, I felt fully equipped to get out and start my business, and through phone calls and emails they have answered questions that have come up along the way. On the corporate level they invest a lot into branding, website maintenance and optimization, and marketing materials, and give us full access to it all, allowing us to focus on sales. They have saved me from spending time and money doing work that’s already been done.
I have total confidence in the potential success of being a dealer. In addition to the support during the initial startup phase of my business, Gorgeous Garage has a great long term approach. They have invested incredible amounts of time and money protecting themselves and their dealers from imitators, securing a 15 year mechanical patent consisting of 31 claims. Also, they limit the amount of dealers in a region. My protected service area is huge, and I know that even after millions of dollars of business, I will hardly have scratched the surface of potential customers. Because of the confidence I have in Gorgeous Garage and their product I have recently left my job to pursue this opportunity full-time. Between excellent corporate support and a great product with a very reasonable price point, I feel that within just a couple months, I will recoup all my initial startup and marketing costs, and will quickly be on my way to being very profitable.
