Tough Times Finding Work
Hello everyone, first time on this fourm. I have been in business for over 2 years now and I am basicly drugeing my way through the bad times I am sure we are all experianceing. My question to all the well seasoned painters who have seen these times before, what is the best way to find jobs when the phone isn't ringing?
I have done alot of advertiseing, none of it seems to work, and I even tried Service Magic but that turned out to be a waste. I have even gone to lengths to contact previos customers, and just signed up with the State of Florida to try and get the phone ringing. I know it is asking alot to give up trade secrets, but any help on this matter would be helping me from going under. __________________ |
