What A Surprise...
Well yesterday i had basically nothing to do, and I was about to go out and do some canvassing and hopefully get some leads. Meanwhile, my wife went to a local "nail $ spa" place. Whille she was gone, I printed out some basic flyers for bath & kitchen remodeling, around 700 pcs. She came back like 2 hours later telling me how crowded this place is. They have had like 35 ladies waiting for a treatment in a lobby, reading some magazines. I though, i should put my freaking flyers over there, just for the heck of it. Thats what i did. Bought some flowers, and I put it there on the table along with my flyers. Few hours later I got a phone call from one lady asking me to give her an estimate for her kitchen update! Later on around 7 pm, i got another phone call from the same set of flyers I`ve put in there. I have schedulled them both for an estimate tonight, since they both live like 3 mins away from each other. If everything goes ok, I`ll bring a lunch for all of personel tomorrow
i guess I`ve found another way of getting some work

Re: What A Surprise...
Great use of a resource. Women are the deciding buyer in many sales, and should be courted.

Re: What A Surprise...
Sure, such a great marketing idea. When rumors needed, join all possible female clubs out there... i.e., wives' clubs, ex-wives' clubs, divorced's clubs, single women's clubs, widowed's clubs, working-moms' clubs, anonymous' clubs, ...etc...

Re: What A Surprise...
My girlfriend is a bartender at a long time local micro brewery, I get tons of work from the people that come into the bar. Maybe I should give her some sort of comiss.....nah nevermind she should just do it because she loves me!!!!
