husbands do not like me at all. The majority of my customers are single women also. When i'm ready to have a chat, they're not available. When they're ready, i'm sore, grimy, funky, pissed off, etc.

Being a one-man crew, my customers know it'll always be me showing up every week. And when I do show up and they're around, I make it a point to stop what I'm doing and chat for a minute or two ... ask how they're doing, talk about the weather, whatever.

At least in my experience, it's always much tougher to switch from someone who's friendly and takes the time to say hello.

This is a secret that if revealed would cause my competition to get the edge on me. Sorry I can't help on this one.

Maybe I could offer free "service" to the female customers, NA probably need to charge my going rate, LOL. Seriously, I'd say EVERYBODY says service and quality, that doesn't truly set you apart, I've been trying to think of a FIRST in the industry type thing.

Professional appearance and actions, quality, reliability, contacting customers when there is a delay, and conversation with the custome.
