    When Business is Slow!

    What do you mobile pro`s do when business is slow and you have no appointments lined up?

    Do you call it a day, or sit somewhere popular where people will see you or just pass out flyers? Any suggestions on what to do when you are slow?!

    Just go detail someones car and when they come out to get into it stand there with your hand out. I remember that was the advice Edie Haskal gave the Beave about cutting grass. LMAO
    I would sit somewhere and get noticed.

    I either go to my folks shop and hang out, or go home and work on my house. I enjoy the few days i get off.

    If I had nothing at all on the schedule then I`d get in contact with existing customers that are regulars but not on a fixed day. It`s been many years though since I had a day off because no business. Now if you have cars to do but not a full schedule then I start doing extra work to the cars I do.
