James;

There is absolutely no reason why you can not sell residential and commercial accounts because you certainly have the tools to do so.

Michael has also made some great points here to. You must be fair and competitive in pricing but be persistent in calling on each and every account and they will begin to fall into place. And, you can make money (profit) on those types of jobs because never forget that you are never making money (profit) if your equipment just sits in the garage. Keep it running wisely.

 

Good Fortune to all;

Ed Valentine

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 find it amazing when history proves true when it demonstrates that the uneducated and ignorant seem to always stand together to boost the others to a higher height of total ignorance & stupity.

Spash N Dash , CTGCR, & Gorilla......what a trio of knowledge..........it takes 3 of you to try to outsmart the " GREAT NIGHTRIDER "

If  BRAINS was leather the 3 of you combined wouldn't have enough to make a Jacket for a flea

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.

Ignor Nightrider. He is a complete ass. Talk about lack of professionalism. He sure seems to have plenty of time to respond to just about any post there is. Most likely he is not working much. He is all talk. It is sorta like a man with a little d**k trying to compansate by acting like a stud in hopes someone will give him the respect he so NOT deserves. Why do you have to be such a prick Nightrider? GHet a life.
