    • @MowMoney2020
      @MowMoney2020 Před měsícem

      Great question… Let’s keep it simple Customers have to be reached… Know what clients YOU want & how many this will give you a measuring stick and focus for obtaining that goal… we do this by marketing… some have resources($) … some have no money for it. I had no $ when I started So I used Microsoft word to create a flyer template and asked my mother to copy flyers for me at her job…. Than I passed them out door to door for about a week 5 hours a day total of 1500 in neighborhoods I wanted to service. By the next week I had gained my first 20-30 clients. I noticed a pattern after passing out about 500, I gained 1 new client for every 50 I passed out. So I took my goal of 30 new client and passed out 1500 flyers to reach that goal. It was a numbers game not a skilled salesman game😉 Use the internet… Facebook business pages are free and google business sites are “ at least here in states” Photo and post your work on all your socials and web pages or websites. Last tip Do a “NO Brainer” An offer that requires no thought for the client. Example I did 5$ cuts for all new clients who contacted me in the first 15 days of spring rush. No strings attached. I knew if I got a shot at displaying my work and meeting those clients, discussing additional services, they’d be more inclined to sign up with me seasonally.

    Its a good idea when a customer still wants you to cut after rain. To warn the customer about the possibility of ruts. I hated to see this happen to companies. I was in the business for 15 years. Not as an owner but a supervisor.
