Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

You can go to Google local.com and Yahoo Local .com and register your business on the map section for free. I get calls every day from this. If you need help let me know.

If you want to give away demos here is my view on how best to do that.
Take a dirty carpet removed from a hallway. Clean one side using your method, leave the other side alone. The uncleaned side represents their carpet before, the cleaned side is their carpet after you perform your magic. Now cut that carpet and trim into sample swatch sizes. Put your business card or label on the opposite side. You might want to include Before/After labels on the back side just so they don't confuse what your meaning is. This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Remember that effective campaign? Give away the swatches, not free demos. Labor saving, gives the same effect in your presentation and takes less time. I do not believe they are as interested in watching how you do it as seeing the end result, the Readers Digest version is good enough in today's age of people with short attention spans making business decisions. Nothing against them, just adjusting mediums to carry out the same message. They would jump to the end of a novel and then decide if it is worth their time to read the book at all. Food for thought. But whatever is working for you, keep on doing it. Lee Trevino would address the ball with a baseball swing, not the accepted swing. But with years of practice he mastered his way. Mastering your method is what allows you to play with the pros, not going through life doing whatever everyone else does. Digest that. Edited by duckcountry - 21/September/2008 at 5:03pm |

what duckcountry said has worked for me. I like doing the commercial side, so anywhere that has carpets I go in and ask them who cleans their carpets. Most of the time they are already looking to replace the guy they use. (the key is to be better than all of those around you) Have fun!
