I"ve been in business 15 yrs and quickly discovered that card response rate is low. I still send out about 200 a month. Instead of fretting over 500 clients I tune for once or twice a year, my goal became 5000 clients I tune for every 5 years or more. I inform and educate my clients with PTG pamphlets and tech bulletins, but I don"t harass them with phone calls at dinner time. Your best customers always seem to move out of town, But with a list this big you can afford to lose a couple hundred. Just do good work, and promote your business more aggresively that any one else. When you have plenty of work keep promoting your business anyway. You"ll prevent the unwanted lulls. Joseph D. Gotta RPT PS. It helps to be in a very large market.
