Thanks for asking Steve

first year is the Toughest once you get every thing in line and start producing things will fall into place on there own

Do you find the experience of getting up and running any easier the 2nd time around or is it the same as the first time?

[Sea Lancer]

well the small amount of sales pitch experience i got last year and finding this web site gives me a good boost of confidence that i didnt have much of last year.I am going to make it a point to read the post on this site just before venturing out to the neighborhoods......Brian

Where do you have your business listed? Do you have a company website?

[Sea Lancer]

No,i dont have a web site. I just advertise in a local paper for $110.00 a month and i put up flyers at Diners and other local business.I also have friends in the construction and electrical fields that have given me leads before but this is a different year and im not sure whats going to happen.Im just getting started again.I had one customer that owned 14 properties from 2008 to 2010 and then got a relative to take care of them and down the road i went.Last year was a really bad year as i was not prepared and got a late start.So im hoping this year will be better.....
