Hi there! I'm writing an article about getting your first pool customers and would appreciate your professional input. I am looking for an experienced pool service business owner to answer the following questions: 1. At what point (after which visit) do you typically ask a new customer for a referral, and what exact phrasing works best for you? 2. If you used door hangers or knocked on doors early on, what was your specific pitch, and do you still think this is a viable strategy today? 3. What is the single biggest marketing or pricing mistake you made when trying to land your first handful of accounts? 4. How do you introduce your new business in local Facebook or Nextdoor groups without getting flagged for spamming? 5. How did you determine your starting rate for your first few customers before you had any reviews or authority to justify your pricing?
