At 20–25 visits per day, use short introductions in tightly clustered locations, with full technology reviews scheduled separately. The five hours include travel and recovery breaks as needed.

Where to focus

Start with independently owned general repair and tire shops. Expand into transmission, collision/body, detailing, and automotive specialty operations. Plan compact Baton Rouge corridors such as Airline Highway, Florida Boulevard, and Choctaw Drive. Lead with a complimentary technology review, not only processing rates.

Cash-flow caution: Projections are not confirmed commissions. Activation, eligibility, funding, residual calculation, and true-up timing can delay cash beyond the period shown. Neither the calculator nor a signed application guarantees an advance before a bill's cutoff date.
