Oh, and make sure the guy dropping the ball isnā€™t YOU. Someday there will be temptation to skip the job. Donā€™t.

The reply by @TJGibson8 is probably one of the best replies on this forum. Excellent advice.

My suggestion is also the same as many below. Forget the 5 and 10 dollar storefronts, canvas wealthy neighborhoods, most often those people care about the integrity of the worker more so than price. If you are better, honest, committed, and insured it will pay in this market. These people are the ones who own businesses, apartments, buildings, the work will come through these people and because you earn their trust they will understand you get what you pay for and hold on to you when ā€œbucket Bobā€ offers to do it for half of what you do. These people care about their homes and family being safe rather than the $18 they will save with Bob. Word of mouth will carry and you will get business. It may take some time but it will happen. Donā€™t ever bend your price, your price is your price if they want a Bob they donā€™t deserve you nor plan to keep you.

If you have insurance stress their protection against slip-and-fall lawsuits especially in the winter.If you have uniforms-website-listed commercial business phone-marked vehicles that look good all work in your favor vs the man on the street working for pocket change-supplementary income-retirment pension.IF YOU DONT THEN YOU ARE A BUCKET BOB
