    Great advice, even for a guy like me who sometimes forget the basics of obtaining customers when times are slow, your right little meet and greet of the people near me is a good thing nothing wrong with some real hustle on a daily basis. Sometimes hearing from others is a good thing helps to keep us focus. Keep up the videos like this!

    Luke......I'm a lot older than you but I have to say, that was some very good advice. I started in 1982 when there was no internet. Using business cards and flyers to start is a must. You have to be aggressive and learn how to talk to people you don't know. Pick a neighborhood where you won't find old Chevys on blocks in the driveway with spider webs underneath. Go after new cars in an upscale area if possible. Most don't need a good cleaning. Easy money.

    Very knowledgeable and great advice for running your business..I've run my own business for almost 40 years..not detailing but most businesses have the same basic formula... something else you could teach young detailers if you haven't touched on it is not just the price of your products for profit margin but also time spent...finding balance between quality work and moving vehicles out..when to say when....it's ok to be a artist but most artists die poor...great videos..maybe you could do a video on the difference between working with metal as opposed to fiberglass..alot of Vette people out there that would like that...

Just doing word of mouth for something I like doing, and just a side thing to my/a real job in the medical field. it's relaxing/rewarding and people are pretty happy. I did do Business cards...Cheap stuff...and people-friends/co-workers, really like them.

    Hey Luke, I've had my detailing business for a little more than a year, I started part time just making side money, and at the beginning of this summer it got to the point I was making enough money to quit my full time job. This summer business was great, I made great, but now the summer is ending, and business is slowing down, I went from having about 10 cars a week, to maybe 1 or 2 a week now. Are there any tips that you can give that would help with consistency? I have a healthy Facebook page, business cards and flyers at multiple of our local stores and businesses. Just having a hard time getting people here.

Ebbs and flows are totally natural, what I mean is it is totally normal to have that happen at certain times in your business stick through the changes and the seasons, my best advice for you is to capitalize on social media, and make sure you are posting regularly, in the local context of where you live

    Go talk to the HOA..and talk to them FIRST! Before you go to the HOA/neighborhood, make yourself professional. You must have a quality vehicle that you're driving and it should have your best detailing work on it, have a professional uniform on, be cleaned up and present your services as PROFESSIONAL. It's all in how you present your services. Always play to the egos of the HOAs. More than likely, the very first words out of the representatives mouth will be no soliciting, this is when you talk about the beautiful homes in the neighborhood and the nice cars in the driveways, that you've noticed as you pulled in. Your services will put that shining 🌟 on their HOA. As family and friends visit member homes in the neighborhood, they'll see the beautiful vehicles...you present your services as a highlight to the HOA. You'd be surprised how presentation can make or break you
