I am looking for an entrepreneur who understands financial software coding and is looking to be able to invest in this award winning software program with no financial investment. It has already been programed. You will need the ability to unpack (decompress) the new build and create a website platform to launch it (it is an Internet based program running on all platforms). You will be required to sell it yourself or build a sales team to sell it. (I have previously sold over $500,000 my first year to individual agents myself thru my speaking company called Computer Camp). This program (called Financial Keys) won Best Product of the Year for the National Association of REALTORS® and has been one of the top selling software programs in the country to individual agents for $350 per program. The new marketing platform will be to sell it to large franchises, Boards and Associations on a subscription basis. On a subscription sale at a monthly price of only 15¢ per agent per month for a small Association of only 18K agents is an annual income of almost $33,000 (to the owners of FinKeys). A sale to a large Association like the Florida Association of REALTORS is an annual revenue stream of almost $500,000! And that’s just one sale! This is like investing in a McDonald’s franchise yet nationwide.
