2012: your Christmas bonus?
One of our dealerships recently sold 0800 2012 2012. Trebles all round!
Guess how much it cost? Well, that's confidential of course, but let's just say it was quite a bit more than the cost of a regular 0800 number.
In the year of the London Olympics, 2012 numbers are HOT. Look at where 0800 2012 2012 turned up!
dmClub currently has the full range of 0800 2012-XXX numbers. We're currently displaying a limited set of 0800-2012 numbers on the Number Chooser, but if there's a particular 0800-2012 number you'd like to sell, get in touch now.
Now is the time to act! With the end of 2011 fast approaching, here's a great opportunity for all of you to earn a cracking Christmas (or New Year's) bonus by finding buyers for these special numbers. And to help you close the sale, we can offer easy terms for your customers, to spread the one-off cost of buying an 0800-2012 number.

The 5 Dos and 5 Don'ts of Successful Wholesaling
Becoming a dmClub wholesaler can offer
great opportunities to develop your business. Becoming a really
successful dmClub wholesaler is an art. Below, we've gathered together
some Dos and Don'ts based on our experience of working with wholesalers
over the years.
DO...
- Market dmClub dealership as a product: To build a stable of quality dealers for your wholesale business, you need to get out there and promote it. Be there to answer enquiries; create campaigns to attract new dealers; essentially treat recruiting dealers as a product in its own right.
- Qualify your dealers: Great dealers will help your business to soar, but to find great dealers you need to learn a bit about them. What skills do they have? Are they hungry to make money? Check that your new dealers are promising before you invest time in bringing them on.
- Work with your Account Manager to get new dealers started: Your Account Manager can help you support your new dealers – make the most of what they can offer.
- Keep supporting your dealers: Some dealers may start out enthusiastic but tail off. You can help keep your dealers motivated by providing ongoing support and encouragement.
- Encourage each dealer to find a niche: Telecoms is a big industry, and there are countless niches. Encourage your dealers to find one they're comfortable marketing to and help them flourish there.
DON'T...
- Regard your subdealers as competitors: Instead, see your dealers as part of a team that will help you extend your reach into new niches.
- Just hope your dealers will perform: Work actively on picking winners, and then keep supporting them as they grow their business.
- Be impatient It takes time to build up a dealership. Keep supporting your dealers and encourage them to persist.
- Rely on a single dealer: A wholesaler with only one successful dealer is vulnerable. Actively build your network.
- Wait for new dealers to come to you: As a dmClub wholesaler, dmClub dealerships are the product you're selling. Don't wait for them to come to you: actively seek out new potential dmClub dealers and get them involved!
