Some people reading this article may say, "Wow, that's a lot of work." It is. This guy started this business by himself (as a one man operation), but the story on 60 minutes showed him with four workers in a room in his house, taking orders fulltime. He then passed the order off to the local flower shop where the customer lived. He took the order and added 25% to it for his own profit. When people called to place an order after seeing one of his yellow page ads, he quickly looked up which flower shops would deliver to them and which offered the best price. Then he called all of the flower shops to get their prices and their delivery area. He then got the yellow pages for all of the major cities where he was advertising and put al of that cities local flower shops in a database.
#MIDDLEMAN BUSINESS IDEAS PROFESSIONAL#
His big professional ads made his company look like they were the foremost experts on flowers. He got local extension phone numbers relative to each major city and started advertising in the yellow pages nationwide with big ads for his flower shop (and he doesn't even own a flowershop). I got this idea years ago (maybe 20 years ago) when I saw a guy on the show 60 minutes who felt there was a need in the flower market for home delivery. You could make up to 150% with this concept. Why not sell for another company and let them do all the work? This is different from affiliate programs because they're set at 10%, or whatever. If you can market, you can sell anything. The concept is basically being the middle man for other businesses.
