REWORDED Question For GC's For Approaching You For Business


How would you be preferred to be approached from other business owners looking for business?

Phone, email, fax ?

Hand delivered brochure ?

Mailed brochure ?

Fancier 25 page professionally done mini book on services ?

Folder with the facts nicely done from office computer ?

Is face to face better for you or other due to time issues ?

I am old school and fancy does not impress me but I have found the opposite for others.

I personally like to meet people face to face so that I may get a good read on them and I am able to ask reasonable question to verify their knowledge and capabilities. I believe this is important to most.

I asked the previous questions about vehicles so thank you to the ones who gave me good feedback. I don't want people wasting my time when it comes to business so i am trying to verify what is important to you as a GC prior to attempting to contact you.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

For those of you who think this question is beneath you or a waste of time feel free not to answer or go ahead with stupid responses and then wonder why you have so many problems with swimming pool contractors.

Double posting is annoying
and against forum rules.

I did not realize posting in two separate topics was against the rules. I know some people only frequent individual topics.

Thank You
