I want to control my own destiny and I KNOW that if I put my mind to something, I can do it. I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum and I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to get out there and making it happen for myself.
I have $400 to start out with.
I'd like to lay out my plan and
I appreciate feedback and constructive criticism.
From the reading I've done I feel like the best way to start is the old fashioned way of going door to door offering my services. My first call for help is: I'd like to target neighborhoods as strategically as possible. My thinking is to find out what type of homes are a window cleaner's "bread and butter" or "money makers" if that makes any sense. For example, "Home's in the X,000 sq ft range seem to bring me my most business" or however you can put it best.
Also, I'd like to come off as professional as possible to potential customers so I've thought about creating a laminated flyer with some well written copy that helps me come off as a legitimate business. If a customer were to ask me if they could have a copy of the flyer, instead I can give them my business card with a link to my website that has the same copy as my flyer. Does this sound like a good idea? Do you see any improvements I can make to this idea?
Last, I'd like to begin by offering both window and gutter cleaning but do I have the funds? The $400 is all I have to buy tools so I'd like to try and make the most of my initial investment. I'm going to type up a list of tools I want to start out with so I can get some feedback on that too.
Thanks for the time and I appreciate all responses!
