just began in this field. any suggestions?
I worked for an independent company and was fully trained by them. I was just very taking back by how they ran their company. All they did was car washes and gas stations and tried to have us push the sales. So I bought my own kit and left there and I'm going to try to succeed independently. I was thinking of way more appointments and less tents. Any other suggestions for this new guy in the field? Also I live in new jersey. Thanks ahead of time.

If you know how to sell at gas stations, Why not do a few gas station sales and pass out cards to people who might want repairs done at their homes by appointment?

I have done a few evens with a tent whilst helping others establish their business, must admit it is not for me and seems a lazy way of doing business along with being very hit and miss.
Fleets for me every time, constant work 52 weeks of the year, 4 or 5 jobs each visit makes it very profitable along with nice short hours.
I live in one of the least populated counties in the UK so there are not many fleets here, but by looking hard you can find them in the least likely places.
Just takes drive, determination, dedication and then good continued customer along with quality repairs.

I have a friend that owns a window tinting shop, I am always hanging around there and getting business. I have a windshield repair site too that helps also.

It's a pretty basic site MobileWindshieldRepairAlabama, but my number is REALLY big, and phone calls are the most important thing. Also, notice that the domain name has the keywords that people around me search for
