@alwaystruth If you do run ads, its a good metric to track. If anyone tries to "run ads for you" grill them on important metrics like ad spend, cost per customer acquisition etc Run through the funnel yourself too. Make sure it makes sense and looks professional. I think you'll find these costs...

@alwaystruth It looks like you're having success because of cold calling, something your competitors aren't doing. Running ads, everyone is doing it. What do you think a good customer acquisition cost is for you? I think ads will simply get expensive. You need a very good landing page and it's...

@nabichu Join neighborhood Facebook groups, offer service

@juliussneezer I look into the robots of the future more than your average person. Honestly I don't think UBI will come way too late, and when it does it will be way too little. Look at 3rd world countries, they have no problem having the rich and the literal slums. My city is growing with...

@seanmonty Could you take on any more clients if you tried or is your schedule already full? You shouldn't feel trapped by your current customers. If you are full at 30 per hour with no capacity, and you want to grow I would try to find another customer at 35 per hour (for example). And then...

@seanmonty You're in a tough spot. Do you have savings to invest into the business?

@sonnessa Just sounds like burying your head in the sand.

@nyupsych Why are you arguing with someone getting 40x revenue on ad spend? Why am I going to bid $40 per click for electrician near me against every giant multimillion dollar electrical contractor? Google won't even let me bid on smaller terms. Google search ads are a joke for small companies...

@eaglescout88 Maybe, but what about offering gutter repair, gutter installation, gutter covers as options too? Now all of a sudden you have way more options. Drive time and setup time on a job robs you of billable hours. Get on a job and spend some time there, installing all new gutters and...

@spantax I guess that's a market, your obvious competition being roll off dumpsters with much bigger cubic yardage. So you need to know the price they charge and then see how you can make your service more attractive. You have to compete with insurance costs, unsecure loads, mixed loads and dump...

@honeybeezzz Who is renting the trailers? I can go to Uhaul and rent a 6x12 cargo for 30 bucks a day. There are lots of places renting bigger trailers, dump trailers. And trailers are generally pretty cheap to just buy, especially for construction companies. Not trying to talk you out of it...

@anneshy Have to factor in dump fees too but could be a good hustle.

@sakura_meow When you say post to FB groups each week, are you making posts, or replying to "Looking for recommendation" type posts, or both? Do you find a lot of groups resistant to you posting business content on neighbourhood groups? I tend to find that. Overall agree with you though, big...
