Windshield Repair Forum

Just wondering how you guys plan where you will be working each day?Do you just jump in your vehical and go where ever you want or do you plan a certain section of town each day and stick to it? I tend to give up on certain areas to easy and say to myself I no a different place to try well somtimes that place isent any better. I don't think jumping all over the place is very effective. Just curious how everyone handels this.

Oh boy, I get to use an old cliche \:D/

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!"

Actually, I don't give up too easily when working a specific area. I do keep notes in a log as to where I've been, when and what results. If I am having a "bad" day, I take the time to call a few customers that I had serviced within the past few months to ask how their repair is holding up;) Amazing how every few of these calls, I get a, "I was just thinking about you. I've got a friend with a chip ....."

But, to answer your question, before I hop in the truck and start burning diesel fuel at 15MPG, I not only have a plan as to where I am going to go, but I set some specific goals (i.e. visit 20 businesses, find 10 damaged windshields and speak to the vehicle owner for each, etc...). This helps to keep me on track as I can not "give up" until I've at least met my personal goals.

Personaly I work a paticular area until I am all done with it and then I move on to the next. Ussualy takes me about 2 months to work a sepcific area, then I don't hit it again for at least a year. Dallas is so big it takes me sometimes 3 years to get back to that area again.

Three years

Wow, you ARE slowing down in your old age [-X unless, you are including Fort Worth in the mix :-k

Nope, I don't even go over to Forth Worth or Arlington, about the farthest west I go is Irving. You would be supprised how long it takes if you really cover an area completely.
