In 2023, I started negotiating car deals for free for strangers I met on Reddit. I wanted to start a business, but I needed to educate myself first. So I asked a question the car industry wasn’t asking: What would make you happy?
I closed about 50 deals before I took my first paying client.
Three years later, my company, Delivrd, charges a flat $1,000 fee to negotiate a car purchase for anyone who does not want to walk into a dealership. We’ve closed over 3,000 deals, and brought in $2.3 million in revenue last year. We’re on pace for more than $3 million this year. I have 15 employees, all remote.
On average, we save customers $6,300 per deal on car negotiations.
My sales pitch is unusual. I tell almost everyone who calls me not to hire me. I don’t have a magic wand or a secret formula. People hire me not because they can’t do it, but because they don’t want to. I share almost everything I know for free on social media. If you have the time, patience and a dealership you trust, save your money and do it yourself.
