Pest Control Marketing – How to get new customers FAST!

Posted on by

I was speaking at a pest control conference this past week and a gentleman came up to me and said, “Hal, tell me something I can do to get some new customers fast!”

I said, “OK”

And here’s basically what I told him:   If you want to grow your business or your organization, here’s a simple formula that will work.

Make a commitment to do at least three things…EACH AND EVERY DAY…that are totally focused on getting a new customer and nothing else.

Here are some examples of things you might do to stir up some new customers:

  • Ask someone for a referral
  • Ask someone to introduce you a specific person of influence in your community
  • Make a phone call to a former customer just to touch base and see if you can help them in any way
  • Go through your data base and make phone calls (just to let them know you are thinking of them)
  • Collect a business card from someone you  just met and send them an email offering your services
  • Invite a client or contact for coffee or lunch and YOU PAY
  • Attend a network meeting, collect business cards and FOLLOW UP
  • Drop off some flyers at a strategic location
  • Send a hand written THANK YOU card to someone
  • If your vehicle is marked, park it in a strategic location
  • Make a phone call and introduce yourself to a person of influence in your community
  • Attend a social mixer
  • Drop off a FREE GIFT to someone
  • Give your business card to a total stranger and introduce yourself
  • Volunteer somewhere in your community
  • Do something extra and totally unexpected for a customer/client
  • Do something  totally unexpected for a prospect

This list could go on and on.

My point is this:  If you will make it a point to do at least three things each and every day with the sole purpose of stirring up another customer…you will end up stirring up a lot of new customers over this next year.   I promise.

Now…get started!
