Hello,
I am trying to gain more work in my local area, electrical service and repair, and would like to know what methods have worked for anyone here in gaining the work. I have gotten some by word of mouth, but I would like more. I want to be in a place where I have more work than I can handle, and will have to hire. As it is most of my work is out of town, which is keeping me working, but I would like some jobs closer to home. There is work, I just don't know the best way to reach the customer. I have business cards, truck signs, etc. I have heard the yellow pages are an expensive waste of time. I was thinking of just handing out business cards to everyone I meet, and dropping fliers during my non working hours, my hide is thick enough to have them tossed back without any feeling. What do you guys think? Thanks for any and all input, info, jabs, and nuggets of wisdom.
