Today, I rode to about 16 apartment complexes on one side of town, printed out an estimate from my laptop to my little $30 printer, went inside with a couple of logo'ed coffee mugs (thanks jeff l) and gave them estimates and told them I hoped it would help with their budget process. I am going to try to do 50 complexes by Friday. I will let you know what kind of results I get. I usually land about every tenth one.

That is great William, good luck.

Sorry I didnt call you back the other day I had been out playing in the rain.. all day Monday and Tuesday... Then went to clean a rest.. in Ridgeland and the dang Whitco screwed up.. I choose 4 .. In our business the work is only about 25% of the job selling yourself is the other 75%.. If you get them to like you then they will like what you have to offer.. Oh yeah always bring your machine .. customers love to see what you got to work with , even though most of them have no idea what it is..

Having the correct van for the estimate can be a big selling point, For KEC, once they look in the van and see a nice layout of equipment, BIG BIG help. Keep it clean and neat too. I stopped once after a 10 hr night to look at a job (I was a tad filthy) and when I was getting the ladder off the van, the potential customer came out and looked in it. She just asked if I would take 100.00 more than the last estimate (she showed it to me) just because my equipment was neat and in place. Apparently the last guy who came to give estimat had a very messy van, she figured if he had a dirty van, what would his level of workmanship be like.
