My email is [email protected]

Make more money.

Just makes u look more professional/legit especially when there is alot of competition which means u can charge more.

I won a bid today for a small store. The last guy did it for 15$ twice a month. My price was $25 ($50/month). Owner went with me. I cannot say for sure it’s because of my email (lol) but when the owner compared us, it was no contest. We are “legit” and it shows even in the details such as having a company email.

So yes, I can (And do) charge more than my competition because I INVEST to be, what I call, “legit”. I.e. license, insurance, website, payroll, emails, CRM, invoices, accept billing, accept credit cards, advertising, etc.

my best wishes @CentralKentuckyWC ! anything can be done👌

So its been a few weeks now. Hows it going?

I decided to design the postcards myself and go to gotprint.com for the printing. Due to my inexperience I had to resign them many times for the green light to be printed. I just got my 5000 postcards in yesterday and I will be handing them out today. I’ve already don’t two window jobs and a pressure washing job and make little over $300. I have an appointment for today at 3 for a large window and pressure washing job. We will see how it goes.

My plan is to hand out 5000 within a months time. That’s my goal, it may not happen but that’s what I am aiming for. Thanks to all!
