Daily Detail Tip: How To Get NEW Customers For FREE

Hey what's up everyone, welcome to this episode of The Daily Detail Tip, I'm Jimbo, and today's Daily Detail Tip comes from the field. I'm working on this Airstream trailer, and I guess a daily tip within a tip would be, I'm discussing the rig with my client and kind of going over everything and whatever. One thing I also did, and I always do, which is, this is not the Daily Detail Tip, but this is the tip within the tip, is I ask them how they found out about me. How did you find me? This is called quote/unquote market research. A very effective way to do market research. And he said, "Hey, I just Google Maps you, or I Google Mapped auto detailing, and found you." So, what is the point of this? The Daily Detail Tip is to get a, it's completely free, it's to get a Google Business listing, so you can go to Google, and search "How do I get a Google business listing," and it will show you how to do it. It's completely free, and what it does, is it puts you on Google Maps. So, when people, if they go on their phone, or ways or whatever, a lot of programs also pull from the Google Maps, so you will get across multiple platforms by just doing it on one place, that set up a free Google business listing, so that when people search on their phone, and their phone, they have their location services on, so it's pulling from their local geographical area, if you have a Google business listing, your business will pop up for them, and that's exactly how this client found me. Not through a Google ad, not through a Google search, but through Google Maps, so, it's just one small little tweak that you could do to get more visible to your local community, obviously if you have multiple shops, or multiple locations, you can have a Google business listing for each location, and this way, when you search on maps on your phone or on the computer or whatever, you will pop up and you can input all your hours and your phone number and your address, and your services and pictures and Yelp also pulls from this as well and vice versa, and so, I would encourage you today, it doesn't take very much time, especially if you're a new detailer or new business, this could be a huge way to generate additional customers. Additional new customers. Just go to Google, and search, "How do I start my Google business listing." Do it today. Hope it helps. Catch you guys on the next one? See yah.

Daily Detail Tip: Ceramic Coatings + Dealerships

Daily Detail Tip: Ceramic Coatings + Dealerships On today's episode what I want to do is tell you guys a little story, story time with your friend Jimbo. And this story has to do with something I've been beating the drum a lot on, and I'm seeing a lot of people start to do it, and it's really cool to see because I know that it's going to transform your business. And that overarching theme, I guess, is to put out content on the internet of stuff you're doing. Document it. Talk about it. Explain it. I'm getting questions posed to me like, "How do I sell a customer on a ceramic coating instead of a wax?" Honestly, the best way to do is to have the customer ask for the ceramic coating. And they're going to ask for the ceramic coating by hearing it more and researching it a little bit, and of course, obviously, you can't sell anything without offering it. So you have to offer it, but you can start that explanation process to the customer by just offering it. However, if you can get the customer to come to you asking for it, the likelihood that you're going to close that sale is significantly higher. Let me give you an example of what happened to me last week. I don't know, it was Tuesday or Wednesday or one of the days of the week. I get a call and the guy seems a little frantic, a little panicked, and it's a sales guy from a very high end dealership about 15, 20 miles from my normal work area, so definitely not on my doorstep. And they needed ... It was a dealership ... They had sold a ceramic coating because a customer asked them for it. How crazy is that? Customers are asking the dealerships if they can install, not just clear bras, not just window film, but can you install a ceramic coating at a dealership? So of course, the dealership being a dealership, sold a ceramic coating. And then their current vendor couldn't come through on it which is going to lead to my next tip on how you become a vendor at a dealership. They currently had a vendor, but the vendor was a jerk and couldn't come through, was overcharging them, realistically probably getting over just the dealership. They could wear you down at a dealership. Anyway, they were hunting for someone who did ceramic coatings. There are probably, I would venture to say at least 25 to 50 people and/or shops in my local area that could do ceramic coatings that could be a candidate for when this dealership goes to Google to search for an installer that can come do a ceramic coating at their dealership. Again, a very high end dealership, very affluent dealership. The reason why I'm not naming it directly by name is the vendor was in my area so their current vendor could potentially be listening to this podcast, and I'm really not trying to take ... or her because I don't even know who it was. So they could be a big company. They could be a small company. The point is not to take a dump on that vendor. The point is that there's a slew of options that that dealership could have gone to to do the job that they needed done, kind of an emergency. However, when they went to Google because I put out content based around ceramic coatings, and I have a podcast and I have a YouTube channel, it makes me look more credible. And when they're trying to get the most credible source in the quickest amount of time and the best job possible, I pop up. And I work really hard at maintaining that status in my local area, especially for ceramic coatings and the higher end jobs that we all want to be doing. Therefore, price really became a nonissue because I did definitely charge an "emergency pricing" because they needed it done that day. So there I went. My content, because we had rainy days and I focused on my content production and working on my SEO and all that and my website and making sure all that was dialed in so that I could land these jobs because people are going to search. That's not a revelation. None of this is a revelation, and most of the stuff I talk about is not a revelation, but I hope it serves as encouragement to you to really work on your website. And like the quick tip I used the other day, maybe you suck at writing like I do. So you use an app, REV. This podcast though will probably get transcribed again, and turn it into a blog post and Google bots will pick up on that. So when you're talking about ceramic coatings and dealership vendors and how to become that, and how to separate yourself, how to get the jobs, how to get the customers coming to you, it's a lot easier when you have people calling you for your services versus trying to find those customers. Granted that takes a lot of time, and you can get there with ads and stuff like that, but once you can get them calling you, that's a lot better of a standing. End of the story is, I went down to that dealership, completed the job, and got in the right positions because I had to get paid. So you get in the right position to become the new vendor. And I didn't do it from a price point because, in fact, I w
