Vehicle sourcing & Client referrals

Vehicle sourcing means finding and delivering cars based on a client’s specific needs. Cars by Cascoe likely operates in the following way:

Finding Vehicles:

  • Works with dealerships, auctions, fleet companies, and private sellers to source vehicles.
  • Uses trade-only platforms like Manheim, BCA, Copart, and AutoTrader Trade.

Custom Sourcing for Clients:

  • Instead of selling a fixed inventory, they find cars based on client requests.
  • Clients may give a budget, car type, and preferences, and Cascoe finds a match.
  • Works well for high-demand or hard-to-find vehicles.

Earning Money in Vehicle Sourcing:

  • Markup on the vehicle – Buying at trade prices and selling at a profit.
  • Finder’s fee – Charging a sourcing commission (e.g., £500 per car).
  • Finance or insurance referrals – Earning from partnerships with finance brokers.

    How the Referral System Works:

    • Existing customers refer new buyers and get a reward.
    • Referral incentives could include:
      • Cash rewards (per successful referral).
      • Fuel vouchers or free car services.
      • Discount on future purchases.

    Marketing & Promotion for Referrals:

    • Social Media Engagement – Encouraging followers to refer friends.
    • WhatsApp & Direct Outreach – Sending personalised referral messages.
    • Influencer & Word-of-Mouth Marketing – Partnering with trusted individuals in the car scene.
    • Email & SMS Campaigns – Reminding past clients about referral rewards.

    Partnerships to Expand Referrals:

    • Work with finance brokers – Customers looking for finance may need a car.
    • Collaborate with insurance agents – Clients buying insurance might need an upgrade.
    • Network with car detailing, service shops, and taxi firms – These industries often know people looking for vehicles.
