Most business owners network where their competitors are, not where their referral partners are.

Your own trade group is for learning. Your partners' groups are where the work comes from. Everything below starts with one question. When something happens that makes people need junk removal companies, who else gets a call that same week?

Junk removal companies sell to both individuals and businesses, and most of the work starts when somebody dies and an estate has to be settled. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Clients return now and then, so the introduction has to keep paying off.

What starts the work
  • Death / probatewhen somebody dies and an estate has to be settled
  • Home salewhen somebody puts a house on the market
  • Move-in / relocationwhen a family moves into a new place
  • Aging / care transitionwhen an aging parent needs a different living situation
  • Renovation projectwhen a homeowner decides to remodel
  • Storm damagewhen a named storm comes through
  • Divorcewhen a marriage ends
