    I get it, everyone wants a good deal. I AM your stereotypical cheap Asian guy(not Indian, but still Asian)...but if you're going to attempt to drive the price down, you have to do it in good faith unless you want to annoy the vendor. They've seen all the phrases and patterns. I know a lot of...

    The 2 most joked quotes on truckmount forums: "If it smells like curry, I leave in a hurry." "If the caller ID shows Singh, I let it ring." Not gonna lie I feel so bad for my Indian friends who were born in America because they get treated differently. They just got caught on the wrong end of...

    Too risky. I don't want to risk embarrassing my A+ client and losing them. I average $1k/hour on them which is not normal.

    It's not just me bro....the entire home services industry feels this way. It's just that no one wants to say it out loud.

    I have to go back to the beginning to explain how it all came to fruition. When I first came over they wanted a quote for 4 rooms, 1 hall, and stairs. The total came to $750. They immediately responded, "That's too much"(in a disrespectful tone) and just sat there waiting for me to freak out...

    The carpet cleaning is booked for tomorrow. The plan is to clean half of a room first then show them the results before cleaning the remaining areas. There's still a chance that when everything is complete they'll try to complain to further drive the price down. We'll see if I get scammed...

    There's GOLD in local services: 0% of $20M is still 0.

    This looks like the ultimate retirement gig especially since half of the population now aren't having kids and getting dogs instead. Minimal stress and feeds the soul.

    I look at it purely through a speed-to-market testing lens. In the early stages, the hardest part is getting enough leads to validate whether you have a shot at surviving. I don't see black-hat SEO or early social proof hacks as the long-term strategy. They're more like a catalyst to bypass the...

    If you don't like it feel free to ignore my posts. I'm just revealing the methods that the biggest players are leveraging including the garage door company that just got bought out for $2B. Also I specifically stated in my post that there are a ton of nuances to the steps I laid out. One of...

    Walk into a local Thai restaurant and tell them you have the secret marketing formula that will flood them with new customers. Charge them $10M. After they pay you, tell them to change their name to the one pictured below. 10 minutes of work and you are free from the matrix forever.

    Andy's angle is indirectly telling clients, "I am giving you money". They give Andy $1 and get $3 back from their biz. Idk what the exact numbers are; this is just for education purposes. When a local biz hears about review management they don't always see the correlation behind how reviews can...

    @MTF the primary reason why I push local biz so hard on the newbies is because you don't need to figure out all the fancy funnels and marketing stuff due to the fact that the customer is already on Stage 5 of awareness. You don't need to explain to someone what carpet cleaning is. That aspect...

    The Indian GMB Method: Rank and rent model. If I was trapped in the slums of India with little money this is exactly what I would do. 1. Pay someone to create the GMB profile. That person must be located in the US because they track IP addresses. Google has been cracking down hard in the past...

    Someone needs to create a fix to fight these robocallers. I swear I get 100 scam calls a day now. I formerly was able to block them by having my phone say "Press 1 to speak to an agent" but they figured out a way to bypass it.
