Finding Customers

Getting the first yes, then the next ten.

The first customer already knows your kid. The tenth one does not, and getting from one to ten is the actual work.

Kids default to flyers and posts because those avoid the conversation. What moves faster is asking ten specific people, by name, out loud, in a way that is easy to refuse. Easy to refuse is what makes it possible to accept.

Then the part almost everyone skips: asking a happy customer whether they know one other person who might want this. That question, every time, is how small service businesses actually grow.
