My name is Scott Robinson and I am the President and Co-founder of DiscountGuru.com with my partner, Dave. Our mission is to provide consumers with the one of the largest varieties in office equipment at the best price on the market. We buy office equipment at a 70 to 80 percent discount and with services like EBay and our private website, we sell back that equipment at just below market value. We are consistently making margins of 50 to 60 percent. The advantage of our company is our expense ratio. Unlike our competitors, we do not spend money on flashy storefronts or on expensive marketing and advertising campaigns. In a matter of minutes, we are able to post products to 40 million potential customers and understand that our “virtual store” is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are active in all the largest markets around the world and we have a 6th sense for opportunity and risk. We are looking to raise $1 million in order to take advantage of a buying opportunity that we have pinned as the world rebounds out of a recession. We predict that we will be able to return 20 - 25 percent on your investment within just two years. Now, you money is in good hands. I work closely with a professional mentor who has built his business in a similar fashion to $65 million in annual revenue. So please, if you’re interested, my name is Scott Robinson, contact me with my business card and I’ll be happy to setup a time to meet with you.
The experience of competing in an elevator pitch competition and receiving feedback from a panel of multimillion dollar entrepreneurs was very valuable. Sometimes we can learn the most by just participating in activities or events the might be outside our comfort zone. If you want to learn more about something your not familiar with, just take the plunge.
