Im going to spending this much just on starting up my business.
I think by doing this i can make this money back easily:) Ill be having a trolley system with a 300/400 pound gardiners pole
I will be going canvassing nearly every day
I can canvass all day as i got a lot of time on my hands
Also i will not give up until i pick up 1 new customer each day. That is an acceptable target for me
but i will be aiming for 2,3 customers per day. I believe i can pick customers easily through canvassing
I will go canvassing at the times between 5-7. I will post at least 1,000 business cards through letter boxes in 1 week
Thats over 100 in 1 day
i believe thats 10 customers out 1,000 people right ?
I will not be getting flyers.... i just prefer the business cards... its got everything they need to know on it anyway... and flyers tend to go in the bin with the newspapers people chuck away... with business cards someone might just slip it in to their pocket... and leave it lying around... thats the way i see it
My aim is to get 100 customers within 3 months ! Then go for the 200 then 300 then 400 !
I will be spending the 6/7 K on a astra van.... thats going to set me back around 3/4 k
I dont want to get a cheap one... cos most of them are high mileage ... and i always like to buy cars with low mileage... and that are pretty new.. and got some service history on
Atleast i can rely on it
I will be getting a gardiners pole thats going to cost me about 300 or 400 quid thats 40ft and a trolley system with a built in di filter. People build their own.... but im no good with stuff like this
But im going to look in to this so i can save a few hundred pounds
I will be getting my vehicle put up with all the company logos ect.... and I will be buying myself a hoody with my company name and a website
( i believe this is good for business and makes you look more professional)
I will be spending about 100 pound on a phone number
Thats easy to remember something such as......
And ill just buy 10,000 business cards for about 120-150 quid
cos i will shot them about a lot
07581 111 000 - that will be on my van.. which will look good lol
You might all think i am crazy but.... this is what is going to make the business tick
Also i have to work hard and go out every day and give 100% customer satisfaction
I will be starting up in april time sometime
just planning everything out ect.... and its going all well so far
Some people think 200 quid is enough to start .. i agree with you all...some people have the money to start with high money some dont.... but if you got the money to invest in this then u gota go for it
im only 21 years old by the way
sorry for the long story... i never knew i could ever type this much lol
