Busiest I've been yet since starting over.

If nothing changes I will do 7 jobs this week. Sill lots of time to book more jobs, or have some cancel.

Nothing to brag about I guess, But I've not been here full time long at all. ( June 1st )

Still looking into some marketing ideas.

Van is lettered and it has already brought in work.

I think I'm going to join a BNI group. I hate to, but I need the networking.

So would you say that it's the lettered van that's geting your phone to ring or is it marketing?

 

[Hoody]

The lettering IS marketing Josh.

Congrats Becker, best of luck.

Both, Lettering is Marketing, but it is a done deal one time purchase that gets seen daily.
On going marketing will be changed, reviewed and refined.

I track every single call.

I'm not going to keep tossing money at things that don't bring me work.

With each invoice the job is given a track able code for reports.

Like VL, Van Lettering

YP Yellow pages

Did another job yesterday off a client seeing my van on Monday.



As for the size of the fish in Eastern WA.

Western WA because of the sound and river system steel head has bigger fish on avg.

That being said, If the salmon want to meet me 1/2 way I'm happy with that.
Eastern WA fish.

No worries I have a few trips planned for Western WA for some of this.

7 jobs is pretty good. I have only had nine but Monday and Tuesday were all day hired out with a couple breaks. $1,000 each day monday got a $100 tip and Tuesday got a $250 tip. 3 jobs on Sunday and 4 jobs yesterday. Thursday off with the boys 2 jobs friday and then lunch with wifey and 1 job saturday before T-ball.

The best deal I have that is a growing segment is the vinyl floor refinishing. I could sell that like no tomorrow if I wanted to.

Yes, that is why we stop at 5, as that is what the limit is, and has been for at least 3 years now.

Don't forget about churches, do the work for 1/2 price and do a nice job. For 1/2 price they say thank you in the bulletin for a week or two. Win, win. You make some money and church people are loyal. I charge 10 to 15 csf and have them move everything for me. There are ussually 2-4000 sg ft.
