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.
