First let me start by saying I have read everything I can find on here about starting up a business and it all has helped so much. But I have reached a place to where I don't know which direction to go now.

I will give you a quick run down on what I have done so far, so maybe someone can point me in the right direction as to what to do next. Here is where I stand right now, I have my business license, my insurance, my truck is being lettered this weekend and I have ordered some business cards. I even made up a flyer to send to potential buisnesses and to drop off at differnet places (such as feed stores, police department and such). I have been working on a portfolio of different animals and their damages, to show potential clients. I have my Facebook page up and going. But now I am out of ideas.

If it were you what would you do next to help get your name out? I was going to order some road signs to place at strategic locations.

I have read and learned so much from you guys in the last few weeks, that I value your imput. Thanks in advance.

You are in a pretty competitive market "Greenville Anderson & Spartanburg" area. I know it. I know of at least five local competitors.

I am not telling you that to discourage you but just to let you realize you are gonna earn it one customer at a time for awhile.

Your gonna have to do it old school. Get out and meet people. Ask for business.
Give it time and don't quit your day job just yet. Good luck!

This article I wrote should give you some ideas.

Robb where do I find this article your talking about?

I am all about old school, and meeting people is one thing I am good at. Its just remembering the names I have a hard time with. But I can remember faces.
