Does anyone own a blue-collar business?

by a searcher

May 18,2023

For example, lawn care, landscaping, trash cleaning, truck rentals, window cleaning, construction, manufacturing etc. 

If so, very curious to know how you usually get new customers/leads. 

Do you ever use cold email? what are the most effective method(s)?

Thanks so much!

Start with small tests across multiple channels, track everything religiously, invest heavily in the channels with the best ROI and only invest in channels with lower ROI once the higher ROI channels are maxed out.

I would take the deal as long as there is no PG on the seller note. As long as you pay yourself a fair salary (before making seller note payments) you get to buy a company with zero down and no downside risk. Basically all upside.
