Step 1 

After completion of Phase 4, while I was waiting on my marketing materials, I would be proactive and open a spreadsheet in Google Drive and label it "Local Dry Cleaners."

Next, I would create 10 columns, titled:

  • Business name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Date called
  • Date visited
  • Spoke to (person's name)
  • Website in place? (Y/N)
  • If yes, website grade
  • Digital Marketing in place? (Y/N)
    • Are they listed on local directories for small businesses?
    • Do they have verified and ACTIVE social media accounts that are right for its target audience?
    • If they're active, are they actually engaging customers?
  • Notes (Anything about my interaction with the person I spoke to that may be helpful in selling them my product)
