Do any of you guys use these when cleaning a customers house, put it outside with some leaflets attached while working. ;D
-
It's not a daft idea is it, certainly worth a shot? Until some numpty trips over it and goes A over T, then takes "You" to the cleaners ;D

I'm not knocking the idea Sherco the Meerkat, the amount of times I get stopped and asked for a leaflet when I've just gone to get something out of the van warrants an 'A' board/leaflet holder...

95% of people who ask you for a card are doing so because they are being polite, not because they want your business.
I took the livery off all my vehicles for that reason, the lads were getting held up by polite people trying to make small talk after requesting a card.
That board will gain you possibly one job in your lifetime, possibly more. Chuck it in a skip.

Thats got to be the single most laughable thing i've heard this year ::)
-
Matt the obvious thing that stands out here is your guy’s need sales training!
Anyone who asks for either a card or leaflet needs our service and the people who hand them out willy nilly without asking questions deserve to see it as being pestered.

What a load of.... Nearly every one who requests a leaflet (Well, 76.82% to be absolutely precise ;D ;D ;D) becomes a job. What's wrong wiith people politely talking and asking questions? This is that oportunity to "Educate" the public.... ::)
-
Yep people stop me in traffic and get a card just to be polite ;D
-
It sounds ridiculous, I know!
Ok, here’s the test. Next time someone comes over to you van after seeing all the busy livery and requests a card and a chat about the weather. Explain that you have run out of cards but will come round to their home and give them a free quote after the current job is complete, a no obligation free quote. Insist on it as they have been kind enough to come over.
Watch em squirm and try and wiggle out of that one. It’s very amusing and completely self inflicted. They did ask! ;D
Matt
-
Your dead right Matt in one way!
These people can be a pain in the arse at times when you want to get on, that's were you qualify how much in need of your service they want before you unlock your van a give them the said card!
Simple.
Or you could say " look I'm very busy heres my card now pi$$ off"
-
Lord ingram ;D
Might use that one next time ;D
-
Professor if you don'tt mind Clinton ;)
-
Well if you say so dave ;D

never again!
-
Or dare I say it,,,,,, Have a plain vehicle with no signs to avoid the said d**k heads coming over to annoy you. And use your time targeting the correct people.
Despite having plain white vans we still get the odd old gimmer asking whats going on, if Im on the job I tell them that we run a mobile liposuction business on behalf of the NHS. ;D

-
By the way....
I have been using a sandwich board recently it's a 'click clack' one. That means you can print something off and put it in the frame with a plastic membrane over it. Not had any takers yet but it's early days. They were about fifty quid on ebay.

Unfortunately due to over fishing we have depleted the pool of fish jokes to the point we are having to recycle.
When are people going to learn the dictionary may seem big but has finite resources.
-
All we need now is a guy with a surname fish to join the forum and you’ll all wade in and take the pi$$.
Poor sod won’t know what’s hit him
