Hey Optic,
My basic approach is already written out in the post Building A Retail Business. If there is anything you don't understand after reading that just let me know and I can give more info.

I just wanted to post my experience training with David about a week or so ago. We got a late start (it was cold that day I guess about 40 degrees) it was about 11 am when we pulled into a very small complex. There couldn't have been more than 15-20 cars there total. We found a Pontiac minivan and within a few mins David had the sale. I started to work the chip. David checked out the other cars in the complex. Found a nice Lexus with a chip, err 2 chips err 4 chips. David located the owner and sold him. Come to find out later this guy owns the complex. If you are worried about those "NO SOLICIATING", don't be. We sold the owner of the building with the "NO SOLICIATING" sign. When I started working the Lexus, the owner of a Plumbing company strolled over, he had a chip in his ford f350. Meanwhile David found the owner of the car next to the Lexus and sold her a cash job. David sold a burgundy chevy truck while I was working the Ford. Then sold a van and the owners wife. We busted our butts from 11:00 to 3:30 doing seven jobs and made $380. I ended up doing a bunch of chips and got a lot of great experience. We didn't even take a lunch. That says a lot because I require constant feedings but that day was awesome! Hopefully one day soon I'll have a day like that?..

The best part about that day Chris is how far you have come in your windshield repair abilities. You are fixing chips really well right now.

Kidding, of course! If you not only gained some more proficiency in your repairs, but learned how to generate $300+ in just four hours, at a "small" location, it was well worth it!
IMO, David had got be either a Prince, or the Prince of Darkness;) Regardless, if it works, don't try and fix it:)
