    It takes time (I know that you have heard this many times) but it does unless you get very lucky.

    You must keep knocking on those doors... always! That is your lifeline.

    I started my cleaning business over 20 years ago, but I was a salesman, sales manager and vice president of sales for 10 years prior to this. Experience is every thing Jolanta. You need to speak the nomenclature, you have to show confidence in what you do and how you do it.

    Talk to everyone... everyone. Either they can help or they may know someone that can.

    Keep wearing the leather off your shoes, important.
