How to get more customers for a new junk removal business?
Hello! I just started a junk removal business last week and have had 3 jobs 2 of which are pending waiting for customers response. How do I get more traffic to my Facebook page? I’ve had 2,300 views but only 70+ engagements. And I would like to know how other junk removal services are operating their business to maximize closure rates, as well as their talk tracks when talking to a customer. i would also like to give a discount to veterans/seniors. How would you guys go about that for junk removal?Is it better to own 100% of the business ? Or add investors ?
Hello fellow colleagues , I've ran this contract business for about 10 years and gradually increased in overall revenue. But it seems I've hit a peak due to inflation and competition. Not to mention the economy is not doing too well. I've considered adding investors and sell portion of the company to keep investing but I also know the potential we have in a healthy economy and dont want to regret bringing investors and having to pay big percentage of the earnings . Any advice for those that possibly went trough this or have a strategy that are in a similar situation ?Junk Removal Owners — What’s One Thing You Wish You Knew in the First 90 Days?
