Let's get strategic about Tomi Mikula, Brian. Because the partnership opportunity is real, but you need to approach it the right way or it goes nowhere. First, understand his business. Tomi charges a thousand dollars flat fee to negotiate car purchases on behalf of buyers. His company Delivrd has five professional negotiators and brings in about two hundred thousand dollars a month. He livestreams his negotiations to six hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube and TikTok. Some dealers refuse to take his calls. He's the real deal. But here's what matters for you: his business has a ceiling. It's a service business. Every dollar of revenue requires a human being to get on the phone and negotiate a car deal. Five negotiators handling maybe ten to fifteen deals each per month. That's sixty to seventy-five deals. At a thousand dollars each, that's his revenue cap unless he hires more people. And more people means more management, more quality control, more headaches. He knows this. Every service business owner knows this. Now here's the gap that matters. Six hundred thousand subscribers. Maybe seventy-five become paying clients in a given month. What about the other five hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and twenty-five people? They watch the videos. They learn a little. They go to the dealership and wing it. That's the gap. Your pitch to Tomi isn't let me build you an app. He probably gets that pitch every week from developers who want to be associated with his brand. Your pitch is about that gap. It's something like: your audience wants help but ninety-nine point nine percent of them will never pay a thousand dollars. I built a training simulator where they can practice for ten bucks. Your content trains the AI. Your audience uses it. You get half of every session. And the people who try it and realize they still want a pro? They hire you. That last part is the key. You're not competing with Delivrd. You're the feeder system. Eat My Money makes Tomi more money in two ways — direct revenue share on sessions, and a warmed-up pipeline of people who've tasted what good negotiation feels like and want someone better to do it for them. Now, how to reach him. Don't DM him on Instagram. Don't comment on his YouTube videos. Don't send a long pitch deck. Find his business email — it's probably on delivrdto.me or in his YouTube about page. Send a short, specific email. Three paragraphs max. Lead with what you've already built. Something like: I built a working car negotiation trainer and I want to show you. Here's the link. Try the F and I scenario — it uses real tactics from your livestreams. I think there's a partnership that makes us both money. That's it. No deck. No ten-page proposal. A working product and a link. Tomi started Delivrd by doing fifty free car negotiations for strangers on Reddit. He respects people who build things and do the work. Show him you're that person. And here's the reality check. He might say no. He might not respond. That's completely fine. The product works without him. His content is public — you can extract tactics from his videos regardless of whether he partners with you. And there are plenty of other creators. Kevin Hunter, CarEdge with Ray and Zach, Lauren Fix, the Car Negotiations channel. Any of them would love a product to point their audience to. Tomi is the best first target because of his scale and credibility, but he's not a dependency. Don't let a partnership fantasy become a blocker for shipping.
