I am moving to southern CA next year & plan on starting a carpet cleaning business. I wanted to get an idea of what I should expect from a half page ad in the AT&T yellow pages. The sales guy said 61-114 calls. How many will result in jobs? I am taking IICRC classes, buying all new equipment including a mid-size truck mount, a used van with 50-70K miles. I am paying cash for everything including ads, equip, insurance, van, and all accesories. I am starting with no jobs & am willing to work 12 hrs/ day, 6 days/wk. I don't have any bills, so 1 day/ wk should cover my living expenses. Any advice would be appreciated. My biggest fear is that I invest 60K & I only get 2 jobs a week.

Hey, I use to get ALL my business from the yellow pages, but it has dried up.

I think too many people use the internet now...
