Rep Power: 16 | What do you do??? When a client is interested in your business? I have had about 7 people who are seriously interested in starting a mobile tanning business contact me. Have you guys experienced the same thing? I would love to share, but I would only be hurting myself. I already have competition in the area, and am reluctant to setting others up. I considered maybe doing some training and maybe taking this business on another route. I would love to help others out... I don't know what to say to them, or what to do. What do you guys do when approached to help get other people started in offering this service??? |

Rep Power: 16 | Re: What do you do??? Unity, I considered that ... but not sure how that would work out for me. I wasn't thinking that I would be the only one doing the booking, that might work! I do have extra equipment so I thought about it seriously, but don't want them to be doing 'side work' that I don't know about. |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: What do you do??? Paperwork & Investment on lawyers to setup good franchise setup is too costly. Just stick to spraying people. You won't make enough off franchising to those 7 people to make your money back. They are inquiring cuz it's cheap to start a mobile spray business. if they have to buy into a franchise, you just lost them. Charge them for your time and get on with your business.
