This year I put my foot down on pricing and it feels more like foot in mouth with two paid details so far all year long. Very discouraging but I know I need to advertise and seek new clients.

Well, it`s only the end of March, so you have 9 more months !
Did you find the nicest Independent Shop that repairs really nice cars - like German cars - and go sell yourself to them ?
Or go to the nicest, usually gated community, find their Clubhouse, or Yacht Club House, etc., and see if you can buy some Ad space in their monthly letter to the homeowners ?
Or at the least, leave a bunch of your business cards there and sweet talk the lady into making sure they get out ?
Eventually all those people you did work for will need it again and they will be by...
Yes, it will take some form or a few forms of advertising now.. Good luck, Brandt, you can do this..

I told my 16 year old son, I`d like to wash the Buick, but it`s snowing. He said " you think the car is dirty even when it`s clean". Obviously he thinks I`m obsessed with cleaning the cars.
This was in the parking lot at work today. I would be livid.
Semper Fidelis!

`20 Rapid Blue C8 2LT Z51, deposit 7/20/19, born 11/17/20 and delivered 11/28/20. Yeah, the dates are right, 16 months.......
Wonder if all those PostIts ended up as litter, blowing around the parking lot, as some already have. The owner might not realize they`re a potential issue until running the windows down or using the wipers...hope there`s no residue/issue at all, maybe it`ll be OK.
Actually, I *do* get the cutesy aspect/intent of it, just hope it`s something to chuckle about rather than rant (that residue issue). I know plenty of folks who wouldn`t be upset, so...eh, whatever.
You and me both...but then I suspect that people know better than to try that kind of thing on, uhm...some of us.Originally Posted by SgtMajUSMC
Imagine if they are those new extreme hold Post its they are advertising on TV now. They wouldn`t come off easily!
Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.
Bill D- Unless that car has a good LSP I bet they`re not the tenacious ones..too many already blown off.
We haven`t tried those yet, doubt we will so I hope they keep making the regular ones (Accumulatorette goes through a gazillion of the tiny ones with her copy-editing).
No idea. I thought maybe the red/pink on the windshield was supposed to be a heart? I say work as it was on base. Not MY specific work/area...
And I am certain there are no worries of that happening to my car.
The cold, wet weather is really getting old. I`ve got yard work to do, cars that need to be washed/detailed, and I`m REALLY getting tired of driving on my winter tires!

Accumulatorette is quite the authority on English by any standards ... and I simply *LOVE* it! Her perfect diction was one of the first things to get my attention all those years ago. Note she`s *NOT* a, uhm...pedantic [jerk] about it, but then I don`t give her reason to be and I`m every bit as strident a grammarian/etc.
I just got called a crook because I require a deposit to schedule jobs now.
Too many no call no shows last year.
I stand my ground on this.
When people schedule my weekend and don`t show I am not only losing money from that job. I am losing money from not working OT at my day job and the subsequent loss that OT would have brought to my yearly bonus and 401k.
I can actually make more working a half day of OT than I can doing a basic interior/exterior anyways.
I even bent this deposit rule earlier in the year and got burned twice.

My wife said "You aren`t even listening are you?" I thought to myself, what an odd way to start a conversation.
The devil made me do it the first time.
The second time I done it on my own.
The only good thing about getting old is no longer having to worry about dying young.Post Thanks / Like - 5 Likes, 0 Thanks, 0 Dislikes
