Listen, in re-reading I see I was a total bitch to this guy, but his text gave me major ick. Hear me out fellow business owners: the way I’ve found success is by NOT BEING ANNOYING. You’ll never see me recommending Busy Little Me’s in ISO cleaner posts, because people are looking for verified recommendations from actual customers. We rarely advertise unless we have a new staff person and are offering a special promo. (Also I’m talking out of both sides of my mouth here because we are currently in motion for two billboards 🤣💀)
Business WILL find you through referrals and word of mouth. Put out an excellent product, and stay consistent on social media. This guy was entirely tone deaf: not only was it creepy that he has my home address and mobile number, he also had no idea that I hold a real estate license. And with that said? Not many people know that, BECAUSE I DON’T SOLICIT BUSINESS. I keep it for very special transactions for family and friends and that’s all. My sales approach is easy - someone contacts me for an estimate, I do the estimate, and I anticipate never hearing from them again. I know what I’m talking about, I share my expertise, and they have my contact info if they want to follow up. Trust me - nobody likes a pushy salesperson and fewer like being randomly solicited. Your exact right clients will find you because you are a quality service; believe and trust the process. There’s nothing wrong with light advertising, but don’t shove it down the public’s collective throat. Instead network and align yourself with other qualified professionals to share referrals. You’ll reap the rewards if you simply put your head down, do honest work, own your mistakes, pour into your community, and treat your people right.
Thanks for coming to my NIK Talk ✌️
