One more thing, should I do it with my other partner. And I'm not professional, I use a riding mower not a zturn. But my other equipment is all commercial.

I agree door to door and word of mouth has gotten me more customers than any other method I have used. Even if the homeowner is not interested insist on having them take a flyer anyways

Yes door to door can be nerve racking. You will bumble and screw up possibly but keep your composer. I felt like a fool the first few days but it became second nature. Next I know I was turning down work because I couldn't keep up. Don't get discouraged and you'll be fine. Yes insisting they take a flyer is good advice.

Yes getting your partner involved only means you cover more ground. I had guys that hated door to door enjoying it after a while. Of course I gave incentives based on leads so that probably helped lol.

You should dress like you do for work.
A T shirt. Not a tank top. Pants or shorts. Not baggy or sagging below the waist.

Image goes a long way. Small things like don't put your hands in your pockets. Don't pull up to a yard with music blasting. Don't smoke at a yard. Always wear a shirt. Have a clean truck. Know what you are talking about before you speak.
Never blow clippings into the yard next door. Stop the mower when anyone walks by.

Dress professionally, advertise in a newspaper, put flyers in mailboxes, put advertising on your vehicle, craigslist, place ads in public places (with permission).

Hope this helps.
