the pitch is $36000 in savings per year.

So I crunch the numbers, and basically, instead of customers doing the deliveries themselves, for the same cost customers could have more deliveries done if they sub the delivery out to me, this equates to a saving of $36000 per year for the
customer.

Its because the customer is 4 hours away from the city, and his cargo truck can only hold 6 deliveries. So if he wants to make more deliveries into the city, he will have to sub out another truck and driver and fuel.

so the $36000 in savings per year is that a good pitch?

well for the same cost that the customer is spending to make 6 deliveries, I could do more deliveries, so the extra deliveries at no cost to the customer is roughly $36000 per year in savings.

Charge him an extra 16k, 20k saving is more than enough.

what if I charge him 16K less, that would mean less stops, less burden on the drivers, less upkeep cost, so because my profit and upkeep cost decreased, my profits stay relatively the same.

so now I can pitch lower cost(more savings for the customer), and more deliveries(also more savings for the customer).

 

[upschuck]

If you are saving him 36k on your plan now, if more charge him 16k more, he'd still be saving 20k, capiche?
