The Yard Ramp Guy
Buffalo Grove, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, United States

While serving as sales manager for a material handling dealership, Jeff Mann, founder, president and The Yard Ramp Guy himself, noticed a consistent flow of inquiries for renting and/or purchasing used yard ramps. The sales reps he inherited would reply “No” to these inquiries and send callers (and their wallets) on their way. Mann thought it might make sense (and a great deal of profit) to figure out how to say “Yes!” He developed a test program for the rental of new and used yard ramps along with the brokering of used ramp sales between sellers and buyers. The program proved to be so successful, a couple of years later, Mann forged out on his own. Incorporated in January 2011, The Yard Ramp Guy (originally known as YardRampRental.com) began selling, renting and buying new and used yard ramps coast-to-coast. A successful model meant building a genuine 21st century virtual office featuring current technologies and “work smart” practices. The business plan included:

• A website to generate leads
• Current software; fast hardware
• Outsourcing day-to-day logistics, marketing and telecommunications
• Establishment of renewed and unique relationships with manufacturing vendors
