$75K/year selling... car decals? (the boring business story)

Feb 01, 2026 3:34 pm

Hey there,

Had a call this past week with some insiders in the cold email community.

One guy is making $75K/year doing something so boring, you'd scroll past it on LinkedIn.

He sells custom decals for replacement cars at dealerships.

Let me explain.


The opportunity nobody saw

When your car's in the shop for a few days, dealerships give you a replacement car to drive around.

That replacement car? It's a massive marketing opportunity.

Slap custom decals on it - dealership logo, contact info, "Loaner Vehicle courtesy of [Dealership Name]" - and now it's a rolling billboard driving around town.

Nobody was doing it.

So this guy decided to.


His entire system (it's stupidly simple)

  1. Find car dealerships that offer servicing and loaner cars
  2. Send cold email: "Hey, noticed you have loaner vehicles. Want to see how they could market your dealership while customers drive them around?"
  3. Show a digital mockup of what it would look like on their actual car
  4. Close the deal

That's it.

No fancy funnel. No webinar. No 47-step nurture sequence.

Just: cold email → mockup → close.

$75K/year.


Why I'm telling you this

Cold email works for boring businesses.

It's not just for SaaS, agencies, or coaches selling courses.

It works for:

  • Car decals
  • Concrete coating companies (remember the 120-client agency from a previous email?)
  • B2B services nobody thinks are "sexy"

The formula is always the same:

  1. Find a clear opportunity
  2. Build a clear offer
  3. Reach the right people

This is exactly what we teach in the Conquer Clients cohort - finding your opportunity, positioning your offer, and building the outreach system that actually closes deals.


Book a call - let's find your $75K opportunity


Whether you're in something "boring" or something flashy, the principles are the same. We just need to find the angle that works for your business.

Currently working with 7 people. Max capacity is 12.

Best,

P.S. The decal guy doesn't even have a website. Just cold email, mockups, and a payment link. Sometimes the simplest systems print the most money.
