Meet Ajmal Ismail, founder of Reduce Costs Now, a Long Island–based company helping families and businesses lower their everyday expenses — from car insurance and property taxes to mobile plans and internet bills.
What started as Ajmal giving friends and clients financial advice while working in the mortgage industry evolved into a thriving business that has saved families an average of $1,000 a year — and some much more.
In this episode, we talk about:
How he built a “no-risk” business model where clients only pay after they save
The psychology of trust and how to overcome skepticism in a new industry
The surprising ROI of old-school marketing like yard signs and festivals
Scaling strategy, specialized hiring, and his plans to open an insurance brokerage by 2026
What causes most people to overpay — and how companies quietly profit from it
Ajmal’s story is proof that innovation isn’t always about technology — sometimes it’s about solving a real-world problem better than anyone else.
