Thanks GlasDoc and Brian. Pretty cool to have a pep team out there of people I've never met. Still trying to find my niche and not wanting to procrastinate I'm trying a little of everything.

Today I stopped at a whole bunch of small used car dealers. I would walk the lot and then go in and ask if they had a windshield repair guy. Most did but took my card anyway. And then finally a guy said he had a guy but come by next week and do a couple to see how I do. I did another one free to see if I can get his lot.

I had no idea there was this much competition. I think I'll do better in the rural areas where windshield repair people aren't a dime a dozen.

I hear what you say about getting a fleet account and then dropping them when I go to Mexico. So far I haven't approached any for that reason.

There's more money going the insurance route and individuals for sure and I'd rather go that way but not too sure about setting up a tent. Those guys are all over the place and most of the time they're not doing anything but shivering and waiting for people to come by. I talked to one of the 5 minute Rock Chip guys at length playing real dumb. Man are guys getting had for $4500 and ten grand apiece. I wonder how they're regarded by the public? Industry? Anyone have any feedback on this.

Cold calling is no fun but sometimes the only way to perpetuate sales. I'm dedicated to making this work on my schedule. There's got to be a way for a traveling repair show?

Anyway, thanks for the encouragement and tips.

Anyone out there run a mobile windshield repair service?
