Market Outlook
Competition: For specifics on the competition and market potential in the Duluth, Superior territory contact us to set up a Competitor Profile. Together we make 3-way phone calls to the customers and competitors in your territory-sizing them up with our robust marketing tools. Also, the competition lacks the ability to foster customer relationships that you, the owner, will develop. You have the nimble power with our advanced web-based sales and marketing system, whereas they have to thumb through old-fashioned, bulky catalogs.
Growth/Expansion: You will like our expansion model, because you expand as we expand. Instead of adding new locations, you will penetrate your market as we add more product lines for you to sell. You can be enormously successful with nothing but radiators; however, you will be part of our continuing product expansion program. In the last 6 months we successfully integrated; fan assemblies, gas tanks, lamps, mirrors and the rest of the HVAC parts are scheduled in approx 6 months. Later we d like to add starters and alternators.

The total price includes the cost for the inventory, the existing sales volume, the warehouse setup, a franchise fee, and a cost for grand opening market materials. We send in a marketing team to call on all your customers in the first two weeks of your business. By heavily canvassing the area, our new territories get off to a strong start.

- Visit at least two franchise locations in person. This is the best way to see how the business works.
- Set up a systems tour and competitive profile. We call customers with your territory, so you can hear what they say about other suppliers in the market.
- Contact a financial advisor or a lender working with the SBA to consider the feasibility of the enterprise.
- Create a two year pro forma based on individual research, and a business plan if lending institution will be involved to finance the operation.
- Interview with key executives at 1-800-RADIATOR to obtain formal approval to award an option to purchase the territory – this is called the Committee Interview.
