Aloha!

So on Wednesday I went cold calling with Ant and Kason. For anyone who doesn't know, College Pro uses cold calling to get contacts for paint jobs. What happens is we go door to door, try not piss anyone off, and hope someone will take our offered free estimate which hopefully leads to a job. Anyhoo, the first time I went out was on Monday and man was it a cruddy experience. I was with Kev and a girl named Randi. We got one lead, yay! On Tuesday it would just be him and Randy, with Wed. being the "Karate Krew."

So those two go out on Tuesday, and set the bar at a whopping one lead. But Technically it was from Monday, so they would actually have zero. Sooooo its up to the Karate Krew to at least one up the total, and we got five!! Rawr!! Ant and Kason both got 2, and I only got 1 )= However, for any of that to matter, those leads have to turn to estimates... which is a different matter. Basically, they actually have to want the job and weren't just trying to get rid of you...

But yeah, FIVE!! I think the key now is just to scout out areas that are more ideal. All of our leads were in a certain area and that area was pretty good to us. After we left that area, it was an uphill battle so we ended up beelining toward Kason's house. I forget who said it, but you just dont' look at houses the same, now it's "well that house's fence/trim/deck needs painting... let's go here." Forget the map, we gotta peek at the areas before running over there for cold calling.

Also, I now hate dogs. Not that much mind you, but frick I came across more than a few dogs baring their teeth at me. Who knew that the sign saying "Beward of Guard Dog" wasn't lying...

That all for now, it's bedtime. Peace out! Right, 25 pushups.
