Hey Knightrider hows Kitt? still talking out your ass I see

Oh well you'll get your cumupins

 

 

Doghumper is pissed off today because the BQ swept the South Shore

Fireman-----------------my aaass, who quits a good job to suck ssh*t out of carpets-----------what a moron, what's your other 2 fantasy businesses---------rubber stamp maker & olive stuffer

Gorilla wrote that he lived on his own since High School..........sooooooo what's the point there

What school did you go to......Rinky Dinky High

Next you were a fireman for 4 years, and you quit to make a career change to become a carpet cleaner...........are you nuts ( I guess you are )

Then you own 2 businesses............ NOT 1 BUT 2 of them, complete with full time employees Wake up Gorilla, your dream is over.........time to face the real world in real time

I hope you don't think people here believe your fairy-tales........... do you ,your story is like a dentist quitting his job to make a career move to   become a dishwasher

Gorilla...........you're a mental midget, living in your own little fantasy world somewhere between Munchkin-land & Seseme Street

I wonder where butrider has been hiding all day. Actually he's not hiding, he probably got tied up on the web, surfing around looking for chicks with Di*$...

gorilla I think buttrider prefers frilly panties not a dress but I could be wrong.

I won't tell you were he puts his vac hose to test his lift.

More than private accounts, commercial accounts are extremely price-driven, gorilla. They usually aren't interested in hearing you talk about what a great job you do, how your process is special, etc. They just want to know that you can do the job more cheaply than anyone else they can get, and they might be concerned about drying time. That said, walking into the establishment and speaking directly with the manager is a good start. Depending on the place, you may want to call first. Either way, you can at least drop off your info at the front desk. If you don't already have it, get the contact info of the guy you're supposed to deal with. If you aren't brushed off during your first exchange, you'll still have to check in with them weekly or monthly. Yes, even though they want to get it done, it may take awhile to actually get them to schedule. Eventually, they'll come around. If you have a local Chamber of Commerce, join it. Go to the meetings regularly. You'll be rubbing elbows with local business owners.

Honestly, I don't know much about going after them, because it's not my focus. I know about as much as wrote. I don't know about specially designed marketing materials for commercial accounts, though. I just know that these are busy people who need to be taken aside and spoken to in order for anything to stick, and you have to do it over and over. Dental offices are a great start, because many of them are carpeted, and they always need to look nice. Massage and yoga studios are the same way.
