14. Holly Faust
You know how most businesses have basic
concepts of how to promote their product or
service? Well, what I do is create distinctive ways to
promote new products and services. In fact, during the 4 years as an
Owner/Operator of Faust Appliance Repair and Service, I developed several
different service plans to offer discounted or free advice to our customers to
help them with basic appliance care without the extra cost. Business
increased 20% when this service was rolled out.
