In reading your posts... I would suggest that you not waste your money on an answering service. With the way technology is today, you would have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to have all of the equipment that you would need to compete with even the worst equipt operation.

They are really high tech these days and it isn't jsut a matter of having their numbers forwarded to you to answer. From the way you are talking... I think this would be just more frustrating for you than it would be worth.

You mentioned that you used to clean houses but "Maria" would always do it cheaper. Why not hire a bunch of Marias and put them to work cleaning while you get the work for them to do. Charge a good price, pay them well and give good service... and you should be able to do it.

You could start by talking with a few Marias and getting a commitment from them to work for you at a certain price. Then, go out and drum up business. When business grows, hire more. Trust me... they have a network of friends who will be willing to work for you when there is work.

Find a good, honest one that you can trust and put her in charge of the others.... then she can be the manager and you are the marketer.

Just a thought.

Good luck,
