Website managment
Visiting other Letip groups in the area...turns out most need a carpet clean (probably because most ccers are dumb asses)
Pre-inspecting bigger jobs including commercial
Meetings with Att reps about filming commercial and revamping my ad campaign
Establishing relationships with other ccers for future work I won't be able to handle
Creating and working with Reach Local, Service Magic etc...just marketing in general
Switching my Service 1 and Priority carpet cleaning into my C Corp Service 1 Enterprises Inc.
Setting up payroll and complying with Fed laws because of the corp.
Spreading the word on how to spell my name right.
suiting up and cold calling (well after some correspondence) some Office Buildings in the area
Setting up SERVICE MONSTER which includes
Customer management changes
Customer marketing changes...IE better scheduled reminders, thank yous, confirmations, promotions etc.
Training classes on SERVICE MONSTER, and follow up classes...and reading a whole hell of a lot about it.
I have read 4 books in the last two month on marketing including Chet Holmes and Michael port.
I have joined both of their websites to create better marketing stratagies..every idea is an idea worth checking out.
Working on lowering overhead in other areas to open up funds for marketing and IMAGE.
Always checking my image marketing and improving where needed.
Expanding my business to other areas
Expanding my business into other services
Establishing those relationships
writing a book geared towards housewives ...yes about carpet cleanging but it goes deaper...and quite entertaining I must say.
Did I mention I am a single father who hasn't seen my daughters mother in 8 years?
Ex-wife just died about a week ago...not my daughters mother
Ok, now I am just whining.
All of this and everything that goes into the preparationg to make it happen. It's the behind the scenes stuff that take so long.
DBA's, Bank Accounts, accounting...you name it.
Did this help?

Forgot about the whole answering the phone and puting up with THAT crap.

Ya but what did you do in the afternoon?

On the contrary. I am on the offense to making this business take off.
Mikey asked and I answered.
The afternoon you speak of was very eventful and hopefully will be profitable.
I may or may not have spent time on this board. :mrgreen:
Today, I have 3 business meetings. Networking and systemizing.....is that a word?
Anyway, wish me luck.

Thanks for that. I think I was invisible on that thread.
I will have to make time and money and just man up and do the SFS thing.

Cool! 8)
