Communications Store

Business Overview

Stake your claim in the multibillion dollar communications industry byopening a communications store. Stock and sell items such asresidential and business telephones, fax machines, pagers, Palm Pilots,cell phones, and accessories.

Ideally, you’ll want to secure anauthorized agents agreement for the wireless side of the business.Securing this type of agreement should not prove difficult given thevast number of communication companies now providing paging, cell-phonecalling, and two-way radio systems.

Locate the store in a highlyvisible area of your community like a store or kiosk in a mall or astorefront on a major street. Additionally, be sure to employ outsidesalespeople to cold call on businesses in the area to bid on theircommunication product and service needs.
In most cases the salespeopleyou hire will be more than happy to work on a commission-only basis dueto the earnings potential for these types of sales. Thus you’ll be ableto maintain minimal overheads, while having the potential to increaserevenues via your outside sales contractors.
