Hey r/Entrepreneur

I have just received my state license to be a mold remediation company and I find myself needing some help. Are there any similar service professionals that have some advice on getting started? Specifically finding my first customers and getting legitimate contract paperwork(AOB?) for the state of Florida.

I have the basic equipment to succeed with pretty much any project right now so gearing up is not a problem.

You've got your Equipment! Congratulations. That the part that'll allow you to turn your Commitment into Coin.

Customers are Created.

So now you get to do your JOB, which is learning everything you can about which Avatars you can actually manage to Attract.

As an Entrepreneur, the Work, isn't the easy, technical, thing you can do so well: 80% of your money and effort is going to be around Marketing, and making sure you're "puttin-down" what they actually are looking to "pick-up".

So:
Who are you? Why are you doing THIS?

What are 3 things/ways that make THIS so hard that I should really defer to YOU to do it for me? What are common ways Others fuck it up?

Why'd you get into BizNezz? Why should we trust you? What do you value? What do you rebuke and find distasteful?

Who will you NOT work with/for?

Why does anyone NEED what you're offering? What's the benefit-OF-the-benefit of choosing you?

How do you want to make them FEEL?

Just a little to think about.

Marketing is how businesses breathe.

Find your niche within mold remediation, and become known in that area. Start with online communities, then in-person networking.

Some ideas are:
-People with mold sensitivities
-People with Lyme disease
-Real estate professionals
-Short term rental owners
