It isn’t hard to see that the state of the economy is a bit worst for ware than it was just a few years ago. The number of people retrenched increased by 2 million just this year. Estimates have it that another 4 million people will lose their jobs before the economy takes a meaningful turn upwards. When this actual turn is to happen could be anywhere from now to somewhere 5-10 years in the future.
For most the most obvious affect of the economic downturn isn’t just the uncertainty in the workplace but also shakiness in their finances. Just a couple of months ago it would have been nearly impossible to get a loan even if you credit rating was above average. For those who took out their credit reports would have noticed that their credit scores would more than likely have gone down. This can be explained by the different and tighter standards that the credit rating bureaus have set to minimize further bad credit loans exploitation.
With the majority of people experiencing a reduction in their credit scores, there are actually a huge amount of people that are falling into the “bad credit” group. Due to this, there is actually opportunity in this problem. It is actually a very promising market for companies that deal with bad credit repair jobs. Reports from industry followers suggest that there are a very respectable 70 million people in America that have a bad credit history and might need professional help to sort out. At this current them there are very few industries that have as bright a future.
The strange thing is that there hasn’t been the large flock of entrepreneurs setting up shop to take part in this increase in bad credit repair demand. We took a look at the department of statistics figures on license applications and we found no meaningful difference between the numbers of new licenses now compared to a year ago. It is because of this that we can say that the market is indeed very open for new entrepreneurs. Just to add more spice to the pot, the money is also very good. The average bad credit repair case will cost the client anywhere from $800-$1200 and you can even charge a whopping $2000 is the case is particularly bad or complicated.
With just a changes and automation you can easily handle double the amount of cases per month. Automation enablers like websites, automated answering machines, emailed forms etc can all add up to very significant time savings so your team of workers and managers can put their time to better use. These investment items for automation however do cost quite a bit and it required entrepreneurs with some foresight to actually be willing to put the money down. There are a huge number of process improvement kits available that can help handle clients and paper-flow much better than if done manually. This is generally where the shortfall of new bad credit repair businesses comes in, the lack of foresight to invest in process improvement measures to build capacity.
The first and sometimes overlooked aspect of marketing is to rely on older forms of marketing and communication. When it comes to important things like bad credit repair, classic media like radio, newspapers and even direct mail fair a much better chance compared to other less important ads. With these classic media marketing techniques, the cost of sale is often around the $200 mark, leaving the rest of the money for you and your employees. A good campaign will generally produce a reliable lead ratio of between 2 - 4%.
As with any service industry, the relationship that you build with your client is very important. When you are scaling up your business you must never forget to have that personal touch with your clients. Often times that is the only thing that will set you apart from other cold large institutionalized bad credit repair providers. Current customers are much better for selling “upstream” as there is a high chance that they will also need other financial services or professional advice. Smart business operators will cultivate a good standing long term relationship with associated businesses that can provide referral business. These related businesses include lawyers, bankers, brokers, real estate agents and other professionals who can refer their customers to you.
Overall the consensus is that the bad credit repair industry has a very bright future as the current trend is for people to get worst credit reports than ever before. The recession and poor state of the economy will help amplify this significantly. If you are looking for a business to invest in then we can very soundly recommend that you invest here.
