I understand that some areas look at soliciting differently, I've worked all over the country. (treepet stay in ohio and stop posting in public) sorry for your bad personalities, appearance, social skills, and lack of knowledge, otherwise...
Hide behind the print as you will :)

good come back boo boo

I suppose if you wanna go cross the pasture thru the cow pies and tell Jed he has a dead tree and you and Zeke will cut it down tomorrow for a couple of corn pipes and a bottle of hootch.,,, it is ok to knock on his door under these circumstances. You do it in my town and you find yourself in the pokey son.
 
Like I said... stay in your town and hide behind your sign :)
and... I'm in Baton Rouge lately, (they love me) and yes I still have a home in NC.
You are an obvious fool, considering you have no clue as to who I am, where I am, or where I have been.

Dumass like you would have to be light on his feet and move around a lot.

Just what is it you think that you know that a smart, educated, upper middle class home owner would not already know about their trees? What is it you know you gotta tell em and make them get up from the dinner table, taking a hard earned nap, or playing with the kids or putting the baby to sleep?

Ring ring ring ring knock knock knock....Booboo is here

Hey....duh....you gotta a dead tree thar. I'll cut it down cheaper than those guys hiding behind their yellow page ads and Certi ma cashuns....duhhhh.
 
gotta love the mentality... and it's "Dumbass", dumbass. :)
I had 5 yellow page books covered.. generated 2 calls, got me 1 job.
Now that's efficient!.. oh, but in OHIO things are obviously different.
I bet even here in Baton Rouge, NC., or anywhere else, you would get a beat down by trying to talk to people. :)

5 yellow pages ads? You ARE a pathetic creature. Please hire me, please, please.

Haven't had many "beat downs" in my day. Pretty good at taking care of myself...both financially and physically.

You....on the other hand, dumass....now that's another story I'm sure lol.
 
While you in deep thought on your next response....

Tell me, what's the story on a Boo, anyhoo?

I got a website up there says a little bout me. What's your site? What you do? Whatcha ya got?
 
Brilliant!!... treepet, you are obviously a "boy" ...feed your ego.
Back to topic >> don't solicit in treepet's town >:)
otherwise check the laws, and know your trade.
If you look and/or sound like a dope head, drunkard, ego-minded, dumbass, with no more education than your local homeowner in the tree care industry, hide behind a sign, or phone call.
Simple.

What kinda education in the tree care industry you got booby? You must be a Certified Arborist to know all that stuff to tell the ho? Say somethin smart.

What kinda equipment you got? (you really big into this "hidin" stuff???)
 
Read my other posts "dumbass". Quit turning this good thread into something personal, and pathetic again... it don't always have to be about YOU.
 
As a home owner, I dislike all direct marketing. Cough up for some advertising, subsudise my news and enertainment. Maybe I will call you.
 
Have had several people mention they hired some door knockers "because they needed some work" :confused:

Wanted to tell them Yeah, so do all of the legit businesses around that didn't come begging at your door.

you mean throw money away on advertising, and wait for a caller to have me bid against 20 other tree services... no thanks.
a couple days of door to door sales with flyers and education in almost 3 years, has generated lots of work, not to mention the referrals that came, and are still coming.
 
In my community, you need a permit issued by the police to knock on someones door. $100 per person for a 30 day permit. $1000 fine if you dont have the permit. Hours are restricted too. With a permit, you can knock on all the doors you want between the hours of 9am and 5pm. All solicitors need an ID badge attached on their shirt and clearly visable. The only way around getting the permit and getting the fine is if you approach someone that is already outside without going on their property. Every spring you can see the lawn fertilizer trucks and the tree guys waiting on the side of the road watching for people to come home at night. Most of these guys get reported to the police who tell them to move on.

The service providers in this area do not need to go door to door. They get alot of business from word of mouth and the real good ones get referals from the chamber of commerce. The door to door guys tend to avoid our town because they know the police are watching.
 
I keep road cones at the bottom of the walkway and a door mat that says" go away" at my front door so if you knock ( and you could be GOD, it don't matter) you will get escorted out by the police. Walk arcoss the lawn and that is serious tresspassing and also making me liable if you get hurt so don't try that either, you'll be put down hard. Even the UPS guy knows that.
All that even solved the problem of me having to shovel the front walkway... its permantly out of order. And you will need God to help you if you park on my lot, I'll call the wrecker and it will cost ya.
The last schmuck that came around knocking on doors was swarmed by the police and it wasn't even me who called them that time. Turns out the guy was sent by a power washing company ( that's another name for useless ####), the company itself had a very bad rep and the guy had a rap sheet. The police around here love to do their job... sometimes.
Go ahead, knock, I dare ya. In fact, I'm bored, drunk and pissed off, so please, please, please, knock on my door.
