Your complete, no-excuse field playbook for landing light industrial and warehouse clients across Greater Montgomery. Every target. Every script. Every day mapped out. Execute this and success is yours.
Your calendar is your commission blueprint. What you do at 8am this week deposits into your account next month. Commission-only means your effort is your salary. There's no base safety net — and that's the best motivator in the world. Protect your mornings fiercely. Every hour in the field driving Montgomery's industrial parks beats every hour at your desk. Get out of your car and into facilities.
Pick a zone. Own it first. Then expand outward. Don't try to cover all of Central Alabama in week one. Start with the East Montgomery and Prattville industrial corridors — highest density of light industrial employers. Become the BDS those companies know before moving to the next zone. Depth beats breadth in month one, every time.

10% of gross margin compounds faster than you think once you have 3 accounts running. Gross margin on a Montgomery light industrial account typically runs 40–50% of bill rate. At $16/hr bill rate with 45% margin, that's $7.20/hr per worker. One account with 5 workers on 40 hrs/week = $1,440/week gross margin. Your cut: $144/week — from one account. Stack four accounts and you're approaching $2,500/month. Montgomery's wage floor is competitive and as automotive supplier accounts pay $18–20/hr, your commission accelerates fast.
* Based on 45% gross margin on $16–19/hr average bill rate in the Greater Montgomery market. Automotive supplier accounts (Hyundai Mobis, HD Hyundai Power Transformers, etc.) command $18–21/hr bill rates and significantly accelerate this projection.
Commission is just delayed proof of work you already did.
The calls you make this week show up in your account next month.
Montgomery is the capital of Alabama with a growing industrial base anchored by Hyundai and hundreds of distribution and light manufacturing operations. The warehouses are here. The companies are here. The workers are here. Everything you need to build a real income already exists in this market. The only missing ingredient is a BDS who shows up every single day and executes this playbook. That BDS is you — or it's someone else. Make it you.
