    Marketing Push!

    It’s almost spring cleaning time. Anyone have any marketing plans to share. I’ve been pushing my cold calling to the extreme, ordered a magnet for my truck and hat with my company name from vistaprint. I’ve been cold calling everyone in my area on craigslist who scraps to introduce myself and tell them what I offer for computers. Following PTS’s advice, I landed my first computer tech company and have the first pickup scheduled for this week and it's all free!

    There are two areas that I want to focus on this coming month and I would like some feedback. I want to start pushing data destruction (I’m going to contact my lawn care insurance company first to add a policy to cover this) and I want to start pushing TV & Monitor recycling for $10 each. It’s always easier to up sell your current customers than it is to find new ones.



    What are your plans?

    My plan is to keep working I already have a forever contract with the scrap yard I am contracting for. So i guess just pilot the ship steady as she goes. I wish I could bust there pile of torch material out but every time we get down to the nitty gritty. BOOM. Trucks galore dumping load after load in the pile. We can't keep up right now even with four of us out there. Spring time is my favorite time can't wait for the bridge beams to start flowing in from all the construction projects.
