Honestly, getting 3 jobs in your first week isn't a bad start at all.
One thing I'd keep in mind is that views don't always equal leads. Most people won't need junk removal the day they see your post, so consistency matters more than any single post.
I'd focus on:
- Before-and-after photos/videos
- Posting in local community Facebook groups
- Asking every customer for a review
- Following up quickly on inquiries (speed wins a lot of jobs)
- Building relationships with realtors, property managers, and contractors who regularly need cleanouts
For veterans and seniors, I'd keep it simple, like 10% off or a fixed dollar amount off the final bill. Easy-to-understand offers usually perform better than complicated ones.
As for closing more jobs, I've found that people mostly want reassurance that you'll show up, do the work professionally, and leave the space clean. Trust, responsiveness, and clear pricing often matter more than having the lowest quote.
You're only a week in, so I wouldn't judge the business by the first few days. Focus on building reviews, visibility, and referrals, and the momentum tends to compound over time.
