    I would suggest the following:
    Work for a chauffeur company to get experience for 6 plus months. Ask questions. Don't tell them you want to start your own business or you won't be hired or can be fired.
    Tell your friends and family you are starting your own business.
    Business contact cards with times of operation and booking options.
    Approach pubs, hotels, doctors surgeries, etc. for extra business, leave cards or flyers.
    Post flyers on shopping notice boards.
    Register with Uber, taxis companies offer that ride share.
    There are other options, but the above are good starters. After awhile stop the business cards, flyers etc and let word of mouth take over. Up to you if you still want to do them. You need to be dedicated or it won't work.
    always be clean and smell nice and not overpowering.
    Go the extra mile.

    Dear Ratko, I got into this business quite by accident. it was a supplement to the household budget. working over time, I realized that this is what interests me in the future. then I come up with the idea to sign up for some of the apps for transferring puns from the airport to the city and vice versa. even though it was a low quality car I did my best to be as professional as possible. clean car, safe driving, friendly, as well as a presentation of the city if the client is interested. based on dedication and hard work, I now have the opportunity to buy another car, of higher quality and therefore better service, but also at a higher price. Thank you for every video and every advice.👍

      When I compare Uber,(which is “car on demand service”) with a Private Chauffeur,which is highly personalised service, I will always see these two as clearly two different markets . Is it more difficult now days for the Chauffeurs than in the past ?Definitely, and that’s a whole another debate .
      Thank you for the insightful comment though !Ray

      My services are mainly based on an old clientele base,followed constantly by word of mouth recommendations
      Other than that ,if there is no one really to recommend my services,there are several strategies that I would employ to find clients and establish connections with hotels and corporations like networking,strong online presence (preferably with video) or direct sales approach which is my favourite: I would personally visit hotels, corporations, and executive offices to introduce myself and my services. (just dress professionally and speak confident how your service can add value to their business).I know it could take time but building and maintaining relationships is crucial in the chauffeur business in my opinion.Good luck

  • @jasonpowell901
    @jasonpowell901 5 месяцев назад +2

    Great suggestions, but before you get to involved check your local DOT/ MC and for hire rules and regs. Insurance is quite expensive, bonds, and some states require Authority to operate from the DMV. It can be rewarding, but insurance can be a deal breaker 1.5 million for under 14 passengers and 5 million for over. Any driver over 14 passengers must get a CDL and DOT physical, Its not for everyone.. Good luck and stay legal
