    Show off Your Professionalism

    Show off Your Professionalism

    When meeting potential customers, always view it as an opportunity to show your professionalism off to them. The old days of handwritten quotes on slips of paper are long gone. Printed quotation forms are a must. A positive attitude (there it is again) towards the service you will provide the customer also shows confidence and exudes professionalism. Be understanding of customers inability to understand what it is we actually do during all night snowstorms. Explain what

That implies we are a seasonal business, and only have to pay attention to what goes on about 6 months a year. True - the small guys who are just looking to make a little money on the side, or guys who work as independent Service Providers for snow contractors need not pay attention t

    Project A Professional Image

    In my opinion, it is imperative we (in the snow business – as well as all other walks of life) you project a professional image. Customers need to be able to communicate with you.
