Re: Calling all Veterans

Yep. As Jen said... Roleplay with them. If they can get comfortable selling YOU THE OWNER soemthing, then they can sell anything to anybody.

Re: Calling all Veterans

Cause I don't have time to shop during season. I would rather have it here than for them to call me at my 'other' job saying they are out of toilet paper.

Re: Calling all Veterans

I know this is random but I haven't figured out how to start a thread so I'm putting my question here.

Has anyone ever had competition open up across the street, Like if you literally looked out your window and you could wave to the person across the street?

It has not happened yet and may not but I just heard a rumor from an electrician who came to my salon to give me a bid for some extra work we want done and he mentioned to me that about 4 months ago he received a call for a bid on a job for this possible new tanning salon across the street. I'm all for competition but WTF?

Re: Calling all Veterans

Remember, it's not uncommon to get less overall work done with 3 employees. Remember to drop by unexpectedly often.

I have not had it happen that close. And rumors are rumors, so don't worry about it til you see activity over there.

YES, drop in often. So very true.
