prospecting for customers

[John Formsma]

They might - the one in my area will. Probably depends on the company. If
it's another "yellow book," I bet they won't care a whit. 

Marshall, do you have business cards printed up? If not, you should. Start
passing them out to music stores and churches. Put them on the bulletin
boards at your local library. Everywhere! Business cards are cheap.

They won't let you advertise without a phone line that you pay them for.

Hi Sid,
I'm definitly looking into the yellow pages.  I'm hoping that they'll let me

advertise since I only use my cell phone.  I don't see the need for a lan 
line.  We used to have a weekly like that, but it went out of business, The 
Penny Saver I think it 's called.  Im going to keep checking.  I appreciate 
the ideas a great deal.  I'll let you know what I came up with.
