Got a lead last night for built ins in Richmond va need someone
It works! Talking to people was at a restaurant last night at the bar having a tea. Talked to this guy exchanged what we each did He said his wife wanted some built ins and he was going to do it he was going to buy some standard cabs and trim it out to fit the space. I sand have you done this before ? No he said*
I said it will look like crap! Pulled out my I phone showed him some pics and he said wow then he said (this is the best part). Is that bead board on the back I love bead board!! I said Yes it is
We discussed the differences for a few bucks more you can have custom cabs where people come into your house and say. Wow ! What great cabs.*
So i said "let me have your card and I will have a friend call younto set up an appt to discuss this project". He pulled out his card ASAP!!!
So I need a friend in Richmond va who can get licensed to do bead board ! Lol. But who can meet with this guy and his wife and who is qualified to do built ins*
Or at least let me guide you*
So email me if you are interested * * kregscustomcarpentry@gmail.com
This is how I market myself day in and day out by talking to people and giving out my card and here I am in providence ri at Jlc wearing my bandana! And picked up a lead*
Every day talk to 10 people and give out your card, and a nice looking full color card
I just got 2500 full color glossy cards for 49 bucks at. Www.got print.com*(thanks jay123 for that lead)*
And carry a few pics in your phone and not a little screen old style phone. If you have that kind go get a iPhone or hemdroid or blackberry full screen phone it is a marketing tool. Or carry a few pics with you
But I recommend a new style phone and use it. I show pics of my work every day to somebody. It adds the wow factor to your card pics tell 1,000 words*
You can tell someone til you are blue in the face how great you are but you show 2-3 pics and it is a done deal
Every day give out 10 or *more cards and it works it is all in the numbers*
I am booked up for a month 3 weeks in Charlotte and 1 week in atlanta. Just from marketing myself and talking to people and not just one job 9 jobs
You can do it also. Get up ! Get out there! And get going ! Seize the day!
If you sit in your house and fill your brain with negative food you will be negative.*
You fill your brain with positive food it will be positive! Ya it's tough out there but the tough get going. So seize the day!!!
Think of John elway from Denver who kept losing super bowls several times!!! But he believed he could win one. And that day when the game was on and it was near the end and he made that great play and he was not going to be denied the game cuz he believed he was going to win
Now he has 2 super bowl rings. 2 rings!!!!!
Anyd that game the other team came up short by just a few inches
Are you going to be a winner? Or you going come up short? The choice is yours......
Seize the day
Do you all see what time it is I am writing this? 4:50 am. I can't wait to get the day started
Jlc here I come!!!!!

Yikes. It looks like you are going to make a transition from builtin seminars to traveling the country as a motivational speaker. I see a new career in your future.
Please be sure to keep us updated on the excting times at the show.

Re: Got a lead last night for built ins in Richmond va need someone
you do not have to look for the bandana, just look for the booth with the prettiest girls. That is where you will find Kreg. And he will be wearing a bandana. Maybe his Ace Carpenter pants. If you cannot find him at those boothes look for someone passing out beadboard.....
Hope you guys meet up and enjoy the show...

Re: Got a lead last night for built ins in Richmond va need someone
Well believe it our not this am having breakfasst at hotel la Quinta and was talking to a group who have a booth on deck fasteners from my
Told them where I am from and this guy tells me he has a food friend who is building a 11,000sq ft house on the lake. Gave him my card and he gave me his friends # to contact him to see if I can be of service
Again I am in providence ri. !!
Who knows if anything will come of this but it is a contact lead and if you get these every day or so some will be jobs
Just talking to people and sharing what you do over and over again day in and day out Iron sharpens iron sparks flying here and sparks flying there and ignite your life!Kreg

you're quite the salesman!
I find it difficult to up-sell anything...
