I provide pressure washing, window cleaning, and softwash, and I’ve started my business in three places (Washington, Georgia, and now Tennessee) and it seems that either door knocking and direct mail have been the best two for me every time. We’ve done wry little door knocking in TN because over there years, it seems that with more “no soliciting “ signs, you can accidentally start off with a negative reputation with neighbors “warning” each other from their door bell cameras. But, people seem to have a better attitude about young people, so my kids (age 13, 17, and 22) have done a little door knocking for us and had success in TN. I seem to get ghosted with most Facebook leads, and Angie leads seemed to be the people looking for the cheapest price; and when I did my costs for the leads, running to do quotes, etc from that… I was slowly losing money. So back to Every Door Direct! 🙂 I put my info and some kind of deal, and then in a year or two, it builds up loyal customers that refer me, so it multiplies. But I have a saying with those who work for me: “do the job so good, that the customer will WANT to tell their friends. That will keep giving us the work we need.”
