Gentlemen,My rig has not moved in two weeks I am hitting the streets this weekend . I need some fresh door step introductions. Can any one help me with this???
Thomas you certainly can't give up thats for sure. With out money man is just as well dead. The good thing is you have a warmer climate in N.C.
You have to think outside the box, we are in tough times you really have to get aggressive.
You need to get moving before the wheel's come to a grinding stop.
If I were you I would go to some nice neighbor hoods where there are lots of stained roofs, and I would find a house on a corner where the neighbor must go by to exit.
I would go talk to this fellow on the corner and offer him a deal that he could't refuse, and schedule the job.
Then I would go through that whole neigborhood and tell them your about to clean the house on the corner so pay attention to the before and afer project, don't forget to take before and after photo's.
while cleaning the house on the corner take your good old time, you know make a scene, attract an audience, make a show. once done go talk to the rest of the neighbors again, and hopefully you will get another job and repeat the process again and again.
Thomas try to be prepared for this event by looking your best as well as your equipment and be sure to have your business cards at hand and so on.

If you don't get out there and pound the pavement and get that name out, someone else will. Ask yourself, just how cold is too cold in N.C.to make money???
I ordered 140 key chain flashlights with the company name and phone # on them. Today I printed out 140 flyers, folded them and put them in a sandwich bag along with a key chain flashlight. I didn't suggest they need our service, I simply put on the flyer. We would like to wish you Happy Holidays! If you should decide to spruce up we ask that you give us the opportunity to present you with a free estimate. I listed the services we offer and threw them out in select driveways. Something I haven't done in a very ong time. I had 7 messages 6 requesting estimates and 1 thank you for the gift. Hopefully tomorrow will bring more. If not, when they are ready my name will already be in their hands. One job and my efforts will have paid for itself.
