If we think B.I.R.D.C.O., then
Bodyshops - room to grow, but going forward its the ins companies who dictate everything anyways -would make this a second priority
Insurance -they send nearly everything to ERAC already, would exp min growth if actually called all ARMS res' on time
Retail -lowest rates always prevail -already doing this -min growth potential
Dealerships - the only "real" opportunity to get that large fleet growth if you don't have all your dealerships already
Corporate -potential, but how often are you going to land a whale, 99% of corp leads are garbage, but asking cst's is still the best way
Other -WES/employee rentals -see retail; hotels -no potential growth; repair shops -the odd ride
So while there is minimal potential, there isn't tons of room to grow. I'd be more concerned with making sure I don't lose the accounts I had already thru taking them for granted. And the retail business you lose is due to shitty high milage vehicles with damage plus the 15 minutes for the MT to clean your frozen car while you wait in the lobby. OR Pay $5-10 more/day at Budget and get a fully loaded car under 30k kms, likely clean and ready to go. Full tank of gas. Empty lobby and agent ready to help you. No 2 o'clock count there
