PeterJames Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Why did your first business fail? I know 4 out of 5 business fail but that's due to lack of knowledge and resources. They obviously jump the gun without the correct resources etc. However I'm prepared, I have all the paperwork, company name, sales literature and other literature and so on. All I need now to do now is van, insurance and advertisement but I'm taking my time planning and doing it carefully making sure I don't miss anything so I'm not setup to fail Gaz will love this but I blame Thatcher LOL Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39546-starting-up/page/6/#findComment-437915 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPEDEVON Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 the term is realistic not negative,what experience you got installing/servicing/selling/pricing jobs up have you got years of seeing customers and giving them a service you can promise to maintain if they come with you etc etc I've been done install, service, commission, quoted big jobs that you wouldn't believe. I can't say the company name but I've land one 40,000 job which we did over Christmas period and just about to land another big job. I've got the experience, I'm not as thick as you think. I know what I'm talking about. I know the standards inside out as you should too. Of course I can maintain a customers site, I have the experience and competence to do so Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39546-starting-up/page/6/#findComment-437922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
