"All I'm saying that you need to do is market to the neighbors of this job with hyper-targeted, personalized, multi-touch marketing. Could be a door hanger, could be a postcard. But what you want to do is you want to get in front of them and say, Hey, You're our kind of person, and we just did work for your neighbor, and you would love our service. Give us a call. And then it hits them again, and hits them again, and hits them again."
