I just want to update all of you precious people, one especially (you know who you are) Yesterday I received a call from a former customer. He had called many grooming shops looking for me. This great guy had a dog die in a shop and he only trusts me. I told him I would do what I could and then get in touch with him. I talked to my two friends that own a grooming shop they said the liability was too big an issue and I couldn’t groom him there. Then they told me about a do it yourself dog wash and I went there. The owner said I needed a clientele and it turns out that the guy who had called me the night before had called her looking for me. She called a friend who gave her my number. That was around 11:00 this morning. It’s now around 4:12 pm and I already have a commitment from 14 dog owners to patronize the shop!!!! The owner and I will do well and I won’t be homeless! BLESS YOU ALL DEAR PEOPLE!!!!!
“Grooming shops here are closing left and right. I took a few years recently of business tech in college. Not much call for that around here.”
Congrats on the new job. And from your earlier quote, use those business skills to help in your new project! I did some work in a little town with plywood on many of the storefronts.
The dog grooming place was very busy though!? The little building was only 15’ x 25’ in size! They had one of those Dutch(?) half doors so the bottom stayed closed and the top was open. And it seemed like the folks (mostly women) coming into the store enjoyed the time yapping with the groomers as they worked. Sounds like you already have a “name” - and it is probably as much as the grooming as well as your people skills. Perhaps a free cup of Folgers coffee while they wait would be a nice touch too.
I just hopped on this thread and did not review or see your update. Congratulations on your success...God truly is awesome!
Congrats and G-d bless! You are very lucky!!
That was the best news I’ve heard all week. Congratulations!!!!
You’re making me cry! Praise God!!! I’m so happy for you!! Thank you, FReepers and lurkers who lifted this woman up in prayers.
