I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to handle the potential of a business merger. There is a window washing company in town that I've traded referrals with for the last couple years and I've known the owner as a friend for many more years than that. We are just in the...

Well, Ok, I was in a hurry and should have taken more time to rinse things down, but the long and short of it is that I got overspray of oxalic acid on the painted wood siding. Any thoughts? bleach and soap didn't take it off today. Lots of little crystalsand streaks. Hot water maybe? or...

I wanted to start a thread that might share some experiences with yellow pages ads. does anyone want to share how many calls they get each month on average from the yellow pages? And if you share the average calls, how big is your ad, what features does it contain and how do you compare to...

Ok, I originally started this thread about this time last year over at PWN and my main concern was over what stripper would be safe to use over the roof. From the responses I received, and some other minor research I think I've settled on using an oxygenated bleach. However, the owner of the...

I've decided to invest in a case of wasp/hornet spray. After getting stung 3 times doing a bid the other day, I've decided to itemize nest removal as a mandantory charge on jobs that I find wasp nests at. I can tell the home owner that we'll remove them for $5.00 or they can take care of it...

Was curious if any of you have tried monitoring the newspaper and sending out letters or flyers to each of the homes that have sold in the week. On sundays here, the real estate section lists all property transactions for the week. It lists the address and the new home owner's name. Anyone...

I did a bid last week on a small deck for $445.00 and got a call today from the home owner offering a trade for services. She has offered 50, 30 second spots on an AM radio station (mostly gospel and praise music as I can tell with some talk radio and they cover the local college games) in...

I've been searching for an old thread that had a sample letter that someone used to send to potential commercial customers before they started cold calling them. Ron M. I think it might have (probably was) one of your threads. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much...
