Business changes

This is the year I'm going to do a lot more commercial...after 2-1/2 yrs in biz, I found that commercial accounts pay better, and are easier to do, in general. So...for residential I just want to target High end homes, drop the low paying, cheap customers that only want a one - time cleaning, and for commercial go for bigger accounts with my cimex. I love the idea of driving to one location and spending 8-10 hrs on one big commercial job that zipping back and forth between homes and getting burned out.

I don't want to drop off the residential side of it altogether, just flip it around to 70% commercial and 30% high end residential...

Any advice from you guys that have done this (converting from resi to commercial)will be appreciated. Being fairly new in business, relitively speaking, I need a little "Hand Holding" thru this!

Thanks!

Happy New Year and God Bless!

Joe

P.S. I could not of stated this better myself so I just cut and pasted yours! I was doing my 2007 goals the other night and they fit yours almost exactly. It almost hurts your feelings when you can make as much a couple nights a week pushing the Cimex as you can doing a weeks worth of Residentials. I love commercial!
