Creating a business is one of the toughest things you could ever attempt, however the benefits of owning your business, and more importantly, your time are worth the risks and stress!

Ep. 9 Consistency Is Key

Consistency is the key to every single business on earth. Consistency is one of the most important skills to continue not only the survival of a phone flipping business but the growth of your phone flipping Business. Today I talk about the different things you can be doing in your phone flipping business to drive consistency. Every phone flipper knows that the phone market is a bit shaky at the moment with Rsim being down. Prices on carrier locked phones are low and people are feeling the pinch. In this episode I outline how things like getting reviews and posting to Instagram can have huge effects on your business. Building relationships with other business owner's in your area by interacting with them on Instagram can funnel customer's directly to you. The best part is it is free to do! Getting reviews on Facebook and Google My Business for your Phone Flipping Business can have a huge impact on the trust that the public has in your business and the authority you have in the market share for your area. Many phone flippers seem to gloss over building the local brand and while the market is down, staying consistent on the back end of your business is sure to pay dividends when the market picks back up.

Ep. 7 - Do You Have A Capital Management Problem?

Are you struggling with managing the working capital in your phone flipping business? Today I discuss some of the issues that I see many new and seasoned phone flippers struggle with when it comes to money. It is important to manage your working capital appropriately if you want your business to grow.   How much money do you need to flip phones? Well that all depends on where you are at in your phone flipping journey. A new rookie won't need a ton to get started. I started flipping phones with only $136. After that first flip though I was very careful to manage my capital appropriately.  This has allowed me to scale my phone flipping business at a much faster rate than those people that mismanage their money. Some tips to keeping your working capital healthy is to move your phones or devices as quickly as possible. Sometimes this means taking a little less profit from each phone. What you gain from selling for a little less is the ability to get your money back very quickly. Getting your working capital back quickly affords you the opportunity to buy more deals and make more profit. Want to learn how to flip phones?
