Good Question...
The Simple Answer is, an Auto transport Company can only Be as Big as the Number of Leads Available. (This is a good Thing)
Right now there are 30,000 - 35,000 Leads available for Purchase each Month in this Field. if Your Company closed 3% of 30,000 leads at an average of $150.00 a ticket, You would have a $135,000.00 (not bad, considering the cost of start up) You now have million and a half dollar business a Year.
NOTE: You will need a large office and 25-30 people to handle this.

Lead Cost 30,000.00
