Apartment Building Handyman days are over. Times change and you must change with the times. The one man handyman business can't compete with the way Angie is controlling that part of the repair business.
The real growth is in remodeling the many vacant stores in strip malls and shopping malls. Tom has a marketing and business plan that will increase your profit and keep you and a small team busy on jobs that take 2-4 weeks and not cause the mall owners to lose any business.
When the mall owners get a vacant store, they can start their marketing of that location to a different type of tenant. Many one person plumbers, electricians, and tradesman that are using Angie for business would like more variable scheduling to work around their regular Angie business. This type of work is at a convenient time for you to fit in between other jobs from Angie. The advantage is the price you quote is the price you get paid when each part of your job is finished.
