Hello People

I am new to the business and will be working with a friend who is loading up on equipment right now. I hope to start a new career in this biz. I am sure I can learn a lot by reading this board and asking questions. I will be asking for opinions and help, in return I can help with websites and search engine questions for businesses that need questions answered with that part of it-

Good luck to everybody this year.

Thanks

We are buying good equipment, talking to people like nursery managers, we do a lot of cold calling like just walking in and trying to get business. It works especiallly when you can find places with big needs. I will have some video on the website of some before and after shots

thanks for the welcome!

Are you looking to go for commercial more so than residential customers now?
