We got rained of today so when i got back home i got yellow pages out and phoned around 35 nursing homes asking if they would be interested in a quote.  I seemed to have touched lucky as i went and gave a quote to 3 in my area and i got them all every other other month.  Have to give 6 more quotes which is good.  Im going to be doing this more often, next up will be hotels.  My plan is to be out getting work every day rather than cleaning myself.  Easier said than done though.  Anyone else do this have this approach?

Well done, nursing homes are notoriously hard to get and they generally want it done for next to nothing.

Advertising alone will not necessarily bring the work in, you need to be proactive and go out looking for it by either phoning, door knocking or other cold calling methods.

The bigger you get, the more people will know who you are, then when you call them they are more likely to take your call and accept your invitation of a no obligation quote.

The forcast is for rain for the next few days, if so by the end of the week you could have seriously increased the size of your business!

I would be worried if I got every quote I gave

If they were at the right price, i would be happy

Depends how good a sales person you are i suppose

I know what you mean though

I'm have to say I am very good at sales, but still I would be worried if I got every quote, this would tell me either I am too cheap ior am just lucky and luck most of the time runs out quickly  :

Well done man, im going to be trying this approach or similar shortly too, only im going to aim for the b and b's locally.  Advertising doesnt seem to be paying off and more often than not its too expensive, even me driving my signed up van around doesnt seem to be generating any calls either.  Must be time of year but hey ill still have to keep pushing on and getting out there.
