Get creative & make up some flyer’s & than hit the bricks! House-By-House! Offer a deal for Senior Citizens, say a certain % off…Mingle when you are “farming” the area you are delivering the flyer to.
Be courteous & dress clean! As if you’re ready to work right away!
Green is a good color to use on your flyers….it’s a proven fact that the color green is nonthreatening color. Oh! Before I forget, make certain that you answer the phone when it rings! Don’t let your Prospects get caught in voice-mail jail!
Good Luck!
