American-ProTech 3, The 'Franchise' guys Zip
Permalink  
 


Up until just over a little over a week ago, I didn't know if I'd competed toe-to-toe with 'The Franchise' or not.  I'd figured I had, I just wasn't certain.  That has all changed;

In the last 8 days, I've competed directly with them three times that I know of for sure, and I've won the business all 3 times  smile With the last bid, the client tipped my hand over the phone, so I spent the entire drive to her home wanting the business BAD.  For me, it turned things from 'business' to a competition.   And I don't like to lose  LOL.  My prices don't budge.  I won't undercut, period.  If I can't make my floor margin, I'd rather go fishing.  I'm beating 'em with facts, nothing more.

It feels great to have a dynamic sales strategy that is working well (varies heavily from client to client), AND my new referral program worked the first time I tried it!    Someone call winter off, would ya?

So, I'm thinking about having my sign guy make little surface-cleaner-on- a-rope silhouette decals to represent 'the franchise'  I'd like to sport my 'kills' on the front fenders of the work truck for every win I get over them  biggrin

Thanks guys.

Dwayne - I'm winning fair and square.  Scout's honor  winner.gif

In all seriousness, they do have quite a marketing machine going here in the VA and MD area as Mike (aka Gutter Dog) can attest to.  And their SEO pumps multiple sites of theirs to the top Google spots.  It feels good to be an independent underdog coming out on top.

Thank you again RCIA.
