Some of my "best" customers are ones I treat with the up most respect. They are always coming up with more projects to be done, even small ones that take no time at all. I have become their goto person, even if it is out of my trade, they want to know who I recommend and even set up the appointment for them. Doing a small thing for free is a sure fire way to land a contract. Pay attention to detail can also make the contract a sure bet. when you see/know something else is wrong and point it out, people like someone that sees something they didn't see.

Hello Allen. I recently moved here to California, again, and want to start a handyman business. I worked in the construction field, and many aspects of it, in the past 20 years. I love fixing stuffs for a few reasons, 1. Satisfaction. 2.confidence 3.education and 4.contribution (at my old age i feel i can still be helpful to some people and contribute to my family). So I started watching videos that can help with my new endeavor and came across yours. I am at the very beginning of my journey with nothing, no tools, truck, etc but I’m already enjoying it and thanks to guys like you, I want my business to succeed. I’ll be creating a fb page to be connected to you and your group. Again, thank you Allen.
I like your videos thanks for the info im from placerville ca everybody knows me as johnny i currently work for a contractor and trying to start my own thing some of these customers are being left with no answers as to why they’re having the problem they’re having i would like to be that guy to answer there questions and ultimately giving them the solution needed. Bigger contractors are not interested in jobs. That won’t make him a ton of money but these are still people that need our help. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the share, Allen. The more you become a "partner" in the customer's project, the more likely they will be to contact you when they start their next project. I'm doing my best to get solid, repeat customers who regularly invest in their homes. Ideally, I'd have minimal customers but still have a successful business. Trust makes the jobs easier (keys, supervision, billing, etc.) and increases successful referrals. The brochure was a nice touch - just make sure you give it at the beginning of the conversation as many older people consider receiving a pamphlet to be an end to the sales flow. "OK, I have your pamphlet, will think about it" . It's a retail thing!
Hi Allen, my name is TomJ and I've been in the residential building business for 25 years. I've spent 8 years in the military and have a Master's degree in Project Management. As I get closer to retirement I'm thinking about starting a handyman business. I've listened to your videos and I like what I'm hearing, it's not often you hear someone use ethos in casual conversation. I live in Alabama and I run into a lot of competition from what you term as "Chuck in a Truck". Running a professional handyman business is what I aspire too. I'm thinking about getting my Residential Contractors License and I'm wondering if you feel it's needed?
I found you on this video I guess!! This answers my question! Are you currently a HandyMan though? Do you care to share what tools or brand you prefer? Just curious!
I guess I am late..! I have nerd notes on one of your "top 5s"..! Want to see?!# It is on point. I even showed my boss my "notes" on this! You do great explaining this trade... Tough bizz. Hat off. INDIANAPOLIS.

I never sell. I provide expert opinions and let them know I’m there for anything they need.
Solid advise across the board.

California handymen are limited in what they can do

Love it! Thanks for your comment Guy and would totally agree, When you master this way of selling you can actually make more money with fewer clients!
I like the poster you have in the background about 911 in New York! Say it like it is and thanks love your videos 📹! 👍
