Episode #153: Get Your Mind and Business Pointed in the Right Direction

Prosperous Pet Business Podcast

Tonya has owned her pet sitting, dog boarding and dog walking business for over 10 years.

She’s struggling with the pet industry competition in her area, especially the large amount of Rover pet sitters, hobby and neighborhood dog walkers and pet care providers.

Tonya is understandably feeling confused and upset because the people reaching out to her for pet services lately aren’t willing to pay her professional pet sitter prices. They seem interested at first but then when she quotes her rate, they often don’t want to schedule services.

This is causing Tonya to feel unsure about what to do to get clients. She doesn’t want to lower her rates; ideally she wants to attract the right clients willing to pay her rates. She’s stuck and needs help!

How is Tonya doing now? Here’s an update from Tonya in her own words:

Hi Kristin,

I have been busy doing the tasks you gave me. I still have to order more cards to go pass out to the vet offices and other pet businesses. Also I need to do the car door advertisement.

I got some good information on things I didn’t think about doing to bring in more clients.

Thanks!
