What a day! I got a lead/referral via a new business arrangement. I met with the client who lives in a patio home in one of those gated, 55+ golf communities. The patio home is a tri-plex if there is such a word.
She invited the other two folks that live under the same roof as she does to hear me out. She also invited one of the folks from the 'tri-plex' next door.
I had quite the audience. I landed 3 on the spot (one structure) and the lady from next door called me just a little while ago to say she'd spoken with her 'roof mates' and that I had that deal as well.
One 3 mile trip, 6 customers, or two roofs? It gets better. The folks in this community are very close knit. We had a nice 'roll' there last fall. There's talk of the 'ladies' going to the HOA to have my services presented to the rest of the community.
2011 is going to be a VERY exciting year! I just wanted to share.
Thanks guys. We've come out the gate very strong. It's our first late winter / Spring season, and it's exciting.
