How about a detailing DVD? Google "How To Use the PC for Show Car Results" by Mike Phillips.

Barnes and noble has it. Teaches how to network and get in with people of influence. Let me say something here it is much eaiser to learn to detail than it is to run a business and gain high end customers who pay big $$$$ to you for your services. If you can do both you will not have to worry about cash flow, This is especially true for the young guns or newbies to this business. IMO

No problem Eric. Man i hate to see guys get excited about this business just because they can make a car shine. And think the money is gonna roll in and then realize they have no sales or networking skills to back up their work. You never know who someone else knows.
 
Same Here Will Get Both Of Them. To Get Better And Maybe Master It One Day.

You said it my friend, Net working is the best way to expand your business. The funny thing is that when you mention the words Net working people have a negative feeling towards it. I don't know why, think about it the entire world revolves around net working. Look at TV stations, they are all Networks of one another...businesses are all tied by Net working.

Well that's just my opinion on it and shineFXdetail nailed it, don't think that just because you can make a car look like new that your going to be able to make a business out of it. It takes dedication and time to make a business succeed.

lol yea, true....hahaha

To many scams causing people to be really up tight about Network marketting :D
 
One thing i would suggest is for newbies hell for that matter everyone to set aside 1 or 2 days to network. Do this in the beginning and never stop no matter how busy you get. And you will see the results. My networking days are monday and tuesday work wednesday-saturday. Hope this helps someone. Do you want the business to own you or you own the business?
