I know there is alot of competition down there. I have none. Only one hole in the wall and the owner has a DUI every other week. Would you let him pick up YOUR car? Hellz no!

But then again, I'm at home not making any money!

We call that a snow day here in Utah. Doesn't have to be any precipitation. Snow days mean you don't have to go to school. I think this qualifies in your situation and state.

I think it's supposed to be the coldest week here in centraxl Texas since 1996. Looking forward to it!

I'm getting ready to go out to businesses now to advertise.

[FloridaNative]

Man, that's cold Justin. BRRRRRRRRRR You are so disciplined though to go out and advertise. If it were me I'd probably just go back to bed. :) But that's why you're making the big bucks. ;)

Give me a rough cut on your sales pitch. It would be interesting to know how you approach the un-educated consumer on keeping their vehicle maintained.

:righton: < Pointers are always good :D

[justin_murphy]

"Hello(to receptionist). Can I speak to the owner of this business?"

"Hello sir/mam. My name is Justin Murphy, president of Clean4U Detailing (I say all of this while shaking hands."

"I see you all have some really nice vehicles here. I would love the opportunity to maintain them for you"

The next part of the conversation is about pricing and telling what services I offer.

This is followed by the assumed close.......
Withe my appointment book open and not even looking up I say:
"So, what day of the week is good for you?"

And that's when I get an objection or appointment. If there's an objection, I simply counter it. 75% set an appointment up this way.
