Personally i have found that if you, the owner go to this customer's residence and introduce yourself and tell them why your there, a good part of the time they will just pay it if they had the money before but were just holding out hoping you would go away. Simply your presents at there home is enough to scare them plenty into just paying it and making it go away usually. You just have to say hi, i am (name), the owner of (business name) and i am here because i see you have many unpaid bills and you don't have to be rude or anything. Most of the time that is enough to get your money. Good luck man!

What has been your view as to the most difficult parts to running your lawn care business? When you look forwards to starting up again, what do you feel you want to do different from what you have done?

What do you feel you learned from the experience so far?
