You should probably get a DBA, they are usually a small fee, and work on getting the word out. Making some kind of advertising would work. If there is a growstore you frequent, you could make advertising/business cards and pay them finder's fees for getting you work.

I do something similar with trim jobs, but I have to say, clients you get through the public are the absolute worst. You will most likely get a lot of smaller jobs and new growers. Most new growers treat the growstores like they are their personal grow consultants, sending them your way would help you both. It takes a lot of trust to get work from a larger grower.

Its best to get in with one client very well, and building off from the people they know. Once you prove yourself, the work will start to open up and you will grow naturally.

Like I said, a lot of larger growers would love some one to take some work off from their hands. You have to do things how they want them done, not your way. People get OCD when it comes to their grow, and they like things done a certain way. Getting to know each client as an individual will help you a lot.
Ofcourse and that's funny I have business cards on the way and contacted local growshop to see if I could leave cards with her and help send people my way and I would do the same

Also, you are going to need some money on back to order supplies with. Amazon usually gives out credit pretty easy. Do not buy anything ahead of time, wait until its needed for the job and get next day shipping. Charge clients extra for everything you have to order. Buy from the growstones you advertise at to support them and keep contact when its an immediate job. You don't know what your going to run into so there's no point in investing on supplies at the moment.

How will you stand out? Who will you help? Everyone in this state knows someone that grows. Not that the advice from that person is correct but how will "you" stand out?
Just wanted to give it a shot. Something im passionate about and good at. If I fail that's ok too. But I do appreciate the honesty. And my friend that has more experience is my partner. I help him when he doesn't know stuff as well other way around

You should go in person, most grow stores have a guy in the back that's actually running the show. Most boss types sense weakness when you call instead of show up in person.

True sales 101 right there.

In person is always more powerful. If you can look them in the eye you can demand that attention.

You should build the rooms and consult from there.
