Who would agree most detailers are obsessed with detailing and not selling!!!!

[tbull1]

I would agree with that. Don't detailers really do it for the love of the finished job? The love of the reaction of car owners?
I believe that it is due to the passion of the finished product.

Just my 2 and a half cents.

Great way to say Hello to the site

Advertising takes $$ and most all start-up business don't have much capital. if they are serious about their business then they do what they can, but the big splashy ad's are not with in the budget.

Also this business is based allot on word of mouth

I think alot of the time FEAR sets in and we dont approach people about our business you should be talking to 20 a day about your business.or you may need to reevaluate your business am in love with detailing or making money.But it should be both My challenge to everyone is to approach 20 people about your business that means hand them a card and get 5 numbers do this everyday and your business will grow and oh yeah dress nice you are a detailer not a hobo.

I picked up a gym all the members and staff and grand opening with the mayor coming out and city council setting up a display and OH you better believe they will remember me lol scheming already LOL.Approached 3 people at the grocery store that got out of nice nice cars 2 details out of it. I want to become a selling foooooool.

Shine, please keep like threads together (i.e. advertising, marketing). People know they responded to a thread but because of the similarity in threads wonder where they're at.

Since you are so new to this site, I'm wondering what your motivation is on these last two threads?

Nothing that you are stating is earth shattering

[ShineFX]

I guess not for you but if it helps one person sell more details or gain another customer then that is who it is for.

I've merged 3 threads into 1, very similar in nature. Shine, I too am waiting for you to say what it is you are hinting at. Where's the beef?
