PEAVY
CGF II, Certified Grumble Framer Level 2
Ya'll this is amazing! I had an epiphany.
Which is why you havent seen me on the grumble lately.
After sitting on my thumb through the Christmas Season almost going insane with bordom, I decided
this is rediculous. I have to do something different.
So I made some flyers and drove to the surrounding towns and passed flyers out to restaurants and antique stores and then randomly on people's cars( I hated doing that part.)
The flyer said "pick up and and delivery of custom picture framing."
Then, Last week I had a break through. I had a lady call me 45 minutes away. So I packed up a few moulding samples and a bunch of specifiers and headed out.
I spent 15$ on gas and came home with $1000.
She indicated that she had 2 jobs. When I left her house I had 5.
And it was such a lovely visit. We listened to classical music and sipped coffee while we went over designs.
This week I have three other appointments lined up out of town.
So this is how it works. I pick up and Deliver on Tuesdays or thursdays. I am in my gallery framing and taking care of business on the other days except Sundays. I even hired an assistant to cover for me while Im out.
Ya'll this is FREEDOM.!!!
I am so excited about this concept of "Go Get em" instead of waiting for them to come to me.
The other really great thing about this is that I get a sense of their style by entering the customer's home. I found it makes designing so much easier.
Am I crazy, or am I crazy?
