Tyronne left a 15-year career managing warehouses and 200 staff to clean cars for himself. Five years on, he has only ever paid for 250 leads.

Tyronne runs Jim's Car Detailing in Victoria and won a Jim's lifetime achievement award after being the most nominated franchisee by his peers. He joined during COVID, did his training online, and now supports more than 100 franchisees across half the state.

Tyronne explains how he got off paid leads by door-knocking local businesses, including the day he heard 20 nos and the mechanic who became one of his best customers.

He breaks down the "how much does Jim take" myth, the set-fee model, and why it changed his mind about joining. He covers the income climb, the supercars he now details at home, ceramic coatings, and the kind of person who does well in the division.

If you are weighing up a Jim's franchise, this is an honest look at the work and the money behind it.
