Thanx for a great welcome!

Those of you that took th time to welcome me with a post, I have TONS of questions. I am hoping that your experience will help me avoid some of the costly pitfalls I know some of you have had the misfortune of finding. I've emailed with Jon before, and Bigboy seems like a guy that knows the tremendous amount of work here in Arkansas. I am wanting to start with houses and buildings, but I need to find the basics of chemical selection, and if there is someone that has a finesse in cold call sales, that would be great, I REALLY NEED A GOOD PITCH.

Any of you feel free to email me, I will definitly answer back.

One way to look at a "cold call", is to use it as a way of gathering information-ask good questions. For example-Do you have a service? Are you happy with the service? If not why? Get the information, make notes and try to set up a time to return so that you can give him a proposal. If he says yes-you have closed the main part of you sales. He is interested and will take the time to see you later.

So will say-go for it now-however if you prepare and return you will have time to consider the job times and other costs. If you think about the bid, you will be better prepared.

Oh yes-leave your hat in the truck.

Good Luck
