Doug Dahlke 114 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 My goal is to get some commercial accounts going. February 3rd will mark my first year in business and I need to get some regular cash flow coming. Yesterday I finally got set up as a vendor for a large PM company. Had to get all the extra insurance and verification that they wanted. I will be looking at the first property to quote tomorrow. Right now I am just constantly networking, sending letters, researching and with my new rig will start cold calling and offering on site demos. Never worked so hard in my life but I am hoping it will start paying off soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celeste 341 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 '07 for us means getting REALLY serious about properly running the business - better accounting practices. We tripled our income from the first year, tripled our equipment.....but still don't have any money??? I guess the real goal is to properly allocate funds and not have so much fun with profits!

I am starting to do a little better. Ive talked to my accountant and if things grow much more I'll be turning all the accountting , taxes, receipts and other stuff over to them. We worked out a price of $375 a month for him to take care of everything.. Hey its cheaper than hiring a secretary Maybe I'll finally get rid of that end of the year nightmare called the Receipt Box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug Dahlke 114 Report post Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks for the encouragement Jeff. Yesterday I got a call from a HOA to quote cleaning 1300' of fencing at the subdivision entrances. Later that day a family friend called and wants me to quote cleaning their church. I have a few other quotes out there that I have done in the last week so maybe this thing is going to start picking up some. For me this year it is all about figuring out how best to market my company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
