    Pricing Help

    When I opened this business I didn't know a lot about it but I know how to run a business. I learned so much about the technical aspects of the business from reading these forums. So thank you veteran detailers of AG. We also opened our shop in November after Sema. I do the mobile and my son...

    Marketing Help - Need suggestions for growing my business?

    Google AdWords and yelp. There are people out there searching for your services. They're on Google and yelp. You're doing your business a great disservice by not targeting these customers. And I don't want to hear about how you can't afford it. If you tell me that I'll tell you two things about...

    Mobile detailing and online/card payments

    Unless you're doing a ton of business and I mean like $15k a month, merchant services are not cost effective. Remember thar 1% savings is easily eaten up by the cost to rent the equipment. Square all the way period. Those people complaining are doing something wrong. Chargebacks, scamming...

    Pricing Help

    Never tell a customer that the reason you charge more is because products and equipment cost you more because they buy in bulk. You can tell them that you use better products and those cost more. The other makes you seem small time and frankly the difference in price is pennies per vehicle and...

    Mobile detail business?

    And if that's the case, be sure to look up my account first because I'll be taking that business with me as well. Because when it's all said and done, I am the customer.

    Mobile detail business?

    You really seem to have some kind of bone to pick with me which is fine. But replying to a specific question three years later is not okay. This thread was not an ongoing discussion, the reply was not generic. It was an answer to a question that was asked three years ago. So I replied with...

    Yeah as somebody that has moderated many online forums I can 100% tell you that you're reading way too much into the last couple posts. I mean honestly what do you think the guy is shilling? Online scissor lift academies? You know that's not a thing right?

    pros here, business phone vs cell phone only. what's your thoughts?

    You've got to think I got extremely lucky. The area code is my area code so the possible numbers could have only been 1000 (XXX-000-SUDS to XXX-999-SUDS). Eliminate the numbers that are not assigned and that number is probably somewhere around 600-700. So it is cool that I got it but lucky.

    pros here, business phone vs cell phone only. what's your thoughts?

    You really kind of mangled not only the quote of my words but the context by snipping a really small portion of what I wrote and then making an argument that is almost completely irrelevant to the actual conversation. Of course quality matters but a first time customer can't see your quality...

    Old Dog Looking For Something New

    Agree 100% about the debt. It's super easy to string together 11 or 12 huge weeks and think "hey I can afford this or that, put it on a credit card." If you can't pay cash, don't buy it. You're not a Fortune 500 company with shareholders, you're a small business usually a one man show. We...

    pros here, business phone vs cell phone only. what's your thoughts?

    It's not about the quality of work you do, because a first time customer doesn't know that. It's about making your business appear as professional as possible. I use a Google number and Grasshopper. I had a custom greeting recorded one time for $75. It tells people to give me a minute to...

    Postcard Design: What do you think?

    I do agree with not offering your already regular customers discounts. For regular customers or customers that you're looking to make regular, a nice thank you and maybe a recommended time frame that they follow up for maintenance. Like the dentist office. Don't discount unless you...

    Postcard Design: What do you think?

    I like the one you posted Dan. Your customers know what you do, they do need any action shots.

    Any professional detailers here use Clover to process credit card payments?

    If it's not available for purchase it doesn't exist and it's not a viable alternative for the OP.
