Shadows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Last year tax return was mid 9. I do sales and shit. Ive only been in business 7 months really. By all means.... If you got any tips let me hear em Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 What kind of sales do you do?? My tip would be to work with an SEO search engine optimization specialist so that you come up first in google searches. Call up my buddy Tristen Miller at nustream marketing located at 6th and Hamilton street in Allentown. 610-432-2600 Quote
Shadows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Yea i have nustreams card. A buddy of mine had his site done by them and honestly i wasnt all that impressed but they seem worth a shot for sure. Search engine optimization only works if you have some type of web presence no? I have a fb and a crap lead service which is hogging my money; but its subsiting me. Plus i dont have money or the desire to take out a loan. 2k$ for a web/marketing step up? Not possible A website and ads seem to be the next step. along with more legit leads from the actual window assoc. The corporate acconts are a big step up though. Workmans comp and hired help which i dont have the money for- or the cash flow from the accounts i would hope to get. Cold sales. Dont work for service industries. Its fun, you meet people, buld relationships and all. But doesnt make any money. I dont have 150$ a week to spend on gas driving around trying to sell shit to people who dont buy. Property management/corporate companies don't respond to colds Actually my next immediate step is to get bidding training. I lost a real good quarterly account cause i didnt know what i was doing.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Shadows what's your monthly nut? Rent, car expenses, bills and food? Maybe get a side hustle to complement your business until you get more accounts. Quote
Shadows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 I dont want a side hussle. I want business 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 I was just saying if you are working part time and making part time money use a little of your free time to make more money. When I first started working for my dad I was barely making any money and worked some catering gigs for the delivery guys wife for extra $$$ Quote
Shadows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Cant take calls while im behind the counter at some shit job. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Can you do window washing in below freezing temperatures?? Quote
Shadows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Commercially (the actual money making accounts) yes. A finacisl advisor would be nice. How much debt is too much to take on? My startup costs right now will take 1.5-2 years to pay off. And thats with no expansion for that time period. Spend money to make money, i get it. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Depends how much working capital you need for equipment and marketing and other clerical expenses. Let's say hypothetically its $30,000...$10k for equipment and marketing and $20,000 for first 6 months/years salary before $$$ starts rolling in due to the return on capital expenditures and let's say you take a 6 year loan at the max rate of 6.75% interest. Your payments are gonna be just over $500 a month on the loan. It's a risk but you gotta think with this infusion of capital odds are years 2 through 6 you'll be doing exponentially better and that $500 monthly payment won't be that significant plus you'll be building credit. My philosophy with business and my Lyfe has always been to be a minimalist and lean(not talking about my physique) I'm not big on spending major $$ on office furniture and fancy displays and as time goes on marketing expenses will decline due to increased word of mouth and referrals. As I said months ago I still don't think it's a bad idea to join a young professionals club and share business cards with others. There might be a financial advisor or accountant or small business owner that can give you their advice or perhaps even need your services. Networking is huge. The guy who does SEO and other marketing at Nustream is posting on Facebook about it multiple times a day. Some might think he's being a pest but he's also being persistent and utilizing a great form of free marketing. Quote
Shadows Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 yea. Lot to think about. Workmans comp, website, and bid training is really all i need in the next year or so. Plus some certifications but those are easy. 1 Quote

Shadows Posted September 3, 2016 Report Posted September 3, 2016 Tis what im doing. Residential stuff is the outcome. And the results arent all that great. Cool bunch of friends, not a lot of clients. Plus it doesnt seem right to add a bunch of people as friends...its an informative business page. Im not trying to have doug next to some client lol. I guess my main question is when should i get a loan and when do i use credit cards? My initial investment is around 2500 on a credit card. but thats at 24%. Should i have just applied for a loan? If i invest another 2500 i could get workmans comp (i believe the quote fit in that) re-pay insurance for next year, join a few associations (chamber, and one other big one), hire two guys part time - and go at it.
