@omssandy That's one of the pros of this opportunity. There are a couple guys there who I have a tremendous amount of respect for and I could learn things I just don't at this point.

Hey all. I almost to the 1.5 year mark for my small pest control company. I'm at 125Ish accounts and 50k in yearly recurring revenue. I'm way behind on my goals. At this point I wanted to be at at least 90k. I was able to quit my full time job in October and focus on the biz more but got a...

@613jono Thank you. I will definitely look into that. Any other natural products that you recommend?

@adrienbchiggins General pests, including mice and rats. Everything except mosquito and termite. Those are additional licenses. Also not doing wildlife. I'll include those when I go full time, but I may get mosquito sooner. Prevention and extermination. Most of the business I used to do...

@joanzoraqi2014 Thanks!! I'm not sure if $20-$23 a lead is worth it. Not knowing how quality the leads are. When I'm not working my 9-5 and doing pest control I'm trying to network. 😩

@arlandriax Thank you that actually helps a lot. I've got quite a bit of sales experience so maybe HA could work for me.

Hey guys. Thank for all of the advice and encouragement. I appreciate you. I just wanted to give an update and celebrate a small milestone. I am 43 days in and I have ~25 accounts and I've hit $1000 in revenue. I have a long way to go before I'm able to do it full time but I'm proud of my...

@coldsummer Yes a one-person operation is a business. When you have success there are going to be bitter people, especially online, who show up. Which is evident on that post. Which is disappointing because it's an actual person starting an actual sweaty startup.
