Most of the window tinters are in business on their own. I used to be. Sometimes, I wish I was again, but it does not happen often. It can be hard to get motivated by yourself. During the slower time of year, many in the trade hang up their tools and take up a job in another sector.
How come these people don't get the calls to keep the business going? I have found one common denominator: No network.
Establishing a network with businesses in the trade, yes, other tinters, with related trades and non-related trades makes the biggest difference to your success. Talking to my opposition, you say, no way, they might learn my tricks and steal my customers.
Having a good relationship with your competitors has so many benefits. Ask yourself, what happens, if you have an accident, or want to go on holidays? At the moment, you lose everything to your competitor. So go and say hello to your fellow tinters, they are probably in the same boat.
Are there benefits to the customer? Sure, first of all, they will get better service, because you can handle bigger jobs faster. Second, you will have more knowledge, because tinters learn from each other. This knowledge can make the difference between a happy customer and an unhappy one. (Sure, you should have back up from your supplier as well.)
To be of use to the related trades, such as glaziers and car dealers, you must be available all year around. Look after them and they will look after you!
So go out there, meet your fellow tinter for a coffee and start sharing, one plus one equals three in this case.
