Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

Once you've finished assessing the competion, it's a smart move to talk to somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

However, an entrepreneur who owns an auto rental commercial business outside of your community may be more than happy to give you a few tips, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where do you find an auto rental commercial business founder who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.

Consider Buying a Franchise
