    Pays to ask and do a little investigation

    Yesterday I was walking a buisness complex doing a site tree management plan and was looking at the names of different buisness and one jumped out at me that could be a good lead for ewaste had technology at the end of the buisness name. Walked in introduced myself and told them why I was actually on the property and them told them that I also handle ewaste on the side. This guys eyes lit up when he asked what did I charge and when I said nothing. Man I have never seen someone find a hand truck so quick to start loading up my truck. Told me they had been paying someone and he would now be calling me for everything. This was the first load and said he would have another next month with a tub full of hard drives. Like a lot of people have said on here you have to pound the payment and get yourself out there because it's not going to come to you.

    I learned long ago, the worst thing that can happen when you ask someone is they can say no. And to me even no, usually is because they don't even know why not.
