Ron,
I have not done T&G as of yet, but recently started the woodfloor cleaning. HB has videos on how to do T&G and woodfloors listed in the city owners section.

If someone is determined know what exactly is in our product after telling them that it is “environmentally friendly”, I let them know that I have the MSDS on it and they can see first hand the chemical composition if they want. I have yet to have anyone actually look at it. 8)
Last week I actually went to a couple of maid services and a handy man business. I just introduced myself, explained my business, and talked about using each other as a source of referral. I got a great response and actually got a call today from someone that was referred by the maid service.
I am working on getting together with the “big wigs” (owners, BIC) of some realtor companies. I have actually spoke with a couple to see if they would mind giving me a few minutes of their time to allow me to come in and talk about my business. I have received very positive feedback so far and am typing up personalized letters on letterhead to take to these offices along with the Intro letter and Bus. card.
I recently got with a dry cleaner here and worked out a little deal with them. I will be giving them a bunch of business cards with a stamp on the back stating “thanks for using xxx cleaners, here is a coupon for 10% off carpet cleaning.” They will be attaching these cards to each receipt as the customers pick up their dry cleaning. For every referral I get from them, I will give them $5. They were more than happy to do this. They also let me put business cards and flyers on their counter.
They have told me that quite a few people (within the past week) have asked about Heaven’s best and taken bus cards/flyers. We are just starting the stamped business card thing this week. Time will tell how this works. As a new business, I am primarily just trying to get my name out as many ways as possible…
Great info from everyone…
I am from Indiana originally and retired from the Air Force (after 20 years) last year. Worked as a manger for Target for about a year and decided to go into business for myself, so here I am…
Thanks. The good thing is that the customer doesn’t expect it to come out. Maybe we can surprise him 🙂
