By Terry | July 28, 2010
As you gradually develop a reputation in your community for good work and satisfied customers, you will start getting repeat business and it becomes a little easier. People will already have a positive impression of you so you’re not quite starting from Ground Zero every time you meet with a homeowner.
You still must be the polite guy or gal who does a great job and goes the extra mile for people. Once you have a great reputation it’s not an automatic right. You still must work to keep it – but as you become known and respected in your community for quality work your reputation will precede you and marketing and selling will gradually become easier.
