    Who to contact?!

    I've read it before, its a great post. I'm more concerned with who to contact (who has the authority to sign contracts) and what to say Once I find out who they are I can find them.

    My business progress

    EXECUTION 
    Update I’ll be uploading a $1,700 sale I did in a few days. Things have been going well. The website was finally completed and it looks absolutely beautiful. In about 4-8 weeks it will start generating leads. Today I went out and bought a ton of new supplies and equipment. Almost half my...

    Who to contact?!

    I appreciate the advice. I wouldn't be able to do that though. It's a nation wide company. This is one store location in my city. I guess my best bet would be to contact a gm or something?

    Who to contact?!

    Was not sure where to post this. I was given this tip recently. A company in the same industry as me is dropping its contract with a big company later this year. I want the contract. I am not sure who to contact within the company or what to even say. They would have no clue how I know or...

    Competitor bullying salespeople

    I would not hire a "bully" team. Big waste of resources. They would be costing the other players money if effective, but not generating you any. You would be losing money. If you are already hurting with your overhead then you can not afford to do that. Business war is costly on both sides. If...

    Meet up TODAY in Dallas

    MEETUPS 
    Not really expecting much out of this given the short notice. I'm leaving in August for a month long drill. Meaning my entire business will be shut down until I get back. Not really much I can do for the business right now. No point in trying to get sales as I will not be here to make sure...

    What is business?

    What is business? Here is my oversimplified answer to that question. It is a machine. A machine you automate to work for you that prints money out. @MJ DeMarco talks about it in his book as well. He mentions a crane that an egyptian uses to build his pyramid faster. The other egyptian does...

    $2k deal and how simple business is (again)

    Going back to my point the other day about how simple (simple but requires hard work) business really is, and some other random tips. I closed 3 sales today. But there is one I want to talk about. This sale was close to $2k. I do not take down payments. My customers sign contracts and then pay...

    Something MJ talked about in his book

    The key is to keep going regardless of the errors. I have made, and continue to make a ton of business mistakes. When I was starting my business I told myself things will get bad. Mistakes will be made. Obstacles would get in the way. It's all expected. So forget the mistakes you have made. Just...

    Something MJ talked about in his book

    I appreciate you taking the time to reply and providing your input. Also, I must admit I am just a wee bit envious of you for being able to talk to @Vigilante on the phone. I'm sure if he takes the time to talk with you then you must be doing something right.

    Something MJ talked about in his book

    Haha, no that is my writing. I can not remember if Mr. DeMarco said it like that or not, if so, my apologies. I am going to come to the next one I am able to. I would come to the one in August, but I have to go to this training exercise with the guard. I would like nothing more than to meet...

    Something MJ talked about in his book

    There was a topic in Mr. DeMarco's book that did not stick out to me until recently. I think this is very important for people trying to get into business. A few days ago I was thinking about my business and was disappointed. Looking at my plans for the business I am weeks behind where I...

    Business is not that hard

    Regardless of the industry I would say the qualities are by far the most important aspect. You can hand someone a perfect business plan. But most people would still fail. Also, regardless of the industry I would say most businesses (if not all) fall into this process 1) Get leads (Marketing)...

    Business is not that hard

    Its true. Its not hard, it just takes a lot of work. This is mainly for the people who are like I was. I would sit there and read a ton of business books. Sit and plot, spend all day just thinking. Trying to figure out what to do. What to sell. Where to start. Coming up with reasons why this...

    I appreciate it. It really does take a lot of sacrifice. Even just the "one weekend a month". I'll make sure to attend the next one for sure.

    I would love to go. But this year my unit is up for rotation for deployment. Not exactly sure how the process works. But basically we are being graded on our ability to deploy. As a result we have a month long AT. I will be gone all August for training.
