Hardest part about being self employed is drumming up new business. Spending the day pounding the payment, knocking on a few doors. Dropping off flyers. 🌳🏑

πŸ’― I agree – it's the part that doesn't feel like work so it's hard to drum up the motivation for it.

What’s the success percentage of door knocking? Always been curious about that

It depends in what you are selling, but I’ll point to 5-10% success percentage. πŸ˜‰

Not bad!

And its the cheapest way to test if your product sells and if you have sales skills πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ

Most homes I work on are typically older people. They're not on social media. Most of my business is referrals. Then it's canvassing. Customers love when they get ne because I can walk around and provide a quote on thr spot and answer questions about their trees. Maybe 20% of my business.

Ever get paid in bitcoin? My dad is an electrician and always mentions he accepts it as payment. But no one ever does.
