  • New Grey Market Episode: "My Plan to CRUSH $130 Million in Sales in 2024"
    • How I'm Going to Sell ... -~-
    This week on GREY MARKET I take some customer calls, get a visit from a fan & customer for some repair work, and of course, have some fun calls with our friends @NicoLeonard & @grandcaliber9999.
    Some amazing new watches get delivered to the office, I give our new sales guy Alex some feedback and go over his numbers for last month.
    I also have a monthly meeting with my execs about our sales figures for last month, our goals, and how we're going to reach them. A constant battle in our office is Wholesale vs. Retail and things are about to get messy.
    Next week on GREY MARKET sit in on one of our partner meetings where things are known to get crazy!

    I lost it with the delivery of, “that is a beautiful outfit right there, Michael.”
    Then watching Michael, with less than a handful of watches, carefully sizing up those boxes. “...I’ll be back for those.”

    59:23 Some good insight into the margins of the industry in this section. Based on the given data, "$1.1 mill" in wholesale revenue vs "$558k" in retail rev, "27%" overall margin, and only "$59k" more profit (assuming gross) on the wholesale side.
    You can work that out to about 25% margin on the wholesale sales, and about 35% margin on the retail sales.
    Good to know when you're negotiating with your dealer.

    A recurring theme I see with Roman is despite the fact that he runs a $100 million company, he has a sense of humility and doesn’t let his emotions get the better of him. You deal with a lot of egos in the luxury business and it takes a lot of composure to keep a cool head. Also, a lot of business schools fill your head with this idea that management is a philosophy. No, this guy gets his hands dirty and you can tell he understands every aspect of his business. If the shipping department was short staffed, he’d roll up his sleeves and work there if he had to. I hope he writes a book.

  • @MrVolsman69
    @MrVolsman69 3 года назад +1

    I’ve recently found this channel, and have instantly became addicted. Mainly bc Roman is like the most legit guy I’ve ever watched. Just the way he does business, the way he treats his employees/customers, and even the way he is a boss to his employees is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. After you watch just 1 episode of this channel, you can see exactly why this guy is so successful. Just so beyond impressed.

    Adrian is one of those people I just didn’t like from the get go. I stand by that.

    This show has television / distribution written all over it. Very entertaining / informative.
