Offline Marketing -- Should I drive a lamborghini?

I work with a lot of general contractors and when I'm getting bids on new projects I do pay attention to what they drive. The contractor that shows up in a 60K truck is the one I immediately think will charge too much.
 
Save the lambo for your "make money on the Internet like me" landing page, and take the subway. You should do a cost-risk analysis before taking it out, with insurance rates, gas, and hot to ticket cops the way they are, and the likelyhood of it getting keyed or stolen, it is better of being used for hot dates and photo shoots than a drive downtown to the $13 parking lot for a $5k contract.

BTW, if they can even see you drive up from the window, then you can not charge them enough for the hassle.

No keep your car for a different time, and go with the Altima for meeting clients. The altima is a good middle class car, and the client will be able to relate to you

If you are driving that then lets assume you are going to deal with BIG company's and their huge marketing department.

Better look the part from shoes to hair ... and no suits at Jos A Banks
my friend.

Oh yea and have balls that are huge too ... you are looking at 5 figure deals.

2006 gallardo

It's definitely a sweet ride, and draws all sorts of attention good and bad.

Oh cool. My friend's father has an 08 gallardo spyder - his is silver though so its not AS flashy (besides the murdered tail lights/rims) as some of the other colors. They're fantastic cars! One of my favorites for sure. Only downside is the absence of the trademark doors. :( Which is why I love the murci's even more. :)

I guess it comes down to the socioeconomic status of your prospects. A plumber making $50k a year might not be able to relate while a divorce attorney in the nice part of town probably wouldn't blink twice.

I could still be wrong though! I would split test cars and see what your results are.:p
 
why not a c63 amg ?

Because its a c class. ;)

Here are pictures of bitsculpt's gallardo for anyone that doesn't believe him:

Stupid trolls.
 
I say drive that mofo right thru the front Fukin door, pop the door to some killer sound effects, slide out in a fresh pair of ass'less chaps, check your hair to make sure its high and tight, make sure all da gold chains still in place and looking shiny and fresh, let em get a whiff of dat eau de perfume, make sure its on heavy, cause thats how ballers roll. Throw them the keys and say I didnt like the color of that one anyway and get down to business. Make sure you take alot of cell phone calls in the middle of your presentation and talk really loud, swear alot as that really shows how dominate and in control you are. Business owners really like when you use POWER words like , Fuk and Sh*t, hell throw in the ol "C" word to lighten to mood. Stand up do a little kick turns in your chaps, do some toe touches and you should be all set....
 
I have been to a bagillion meetings in my life. Probably about 1% of the people I meet with ever see what car I am driving... Are you planning on parking int the lobby?
 
That's awesome man.
I've thought about this too.
I have a buddy in Florida that has connections with some huge clients and I thought about offering services and had the same question, about the car.
Anyways, what did you do to earn the car and why aren't you doing it anymore?
 
Do you have another business? An offline business, maybe?

If yes, make sure to include that in the conversation. Say that you're using your own SEO service for your business/es and it's giving you great results.

They'll think that the great results = lambo.

This is exactly the tactic I plan to use, and yes I can show them real results.

Thanks guys, I've made up my mind :)
 
I don't think it would hurt too much, since it is black. If it was a more flashy color, then certainly not, but black is low key and I guess wouldn't be too bad.
 
If you own a Lamborghini, and are asking this question, I can guess you didn't earn the car through your business smarts, eh?
