How did you guys go about getting your first customers? Also, in my area, it’s winter right now. Should I focus on building website and seo now and go hard with ads in the spring or does anyone get business in the winter too?

Been following this program for a bit one issue I’ve had in the past is I do a lot of planning that kills time, and let’s be honest no matter how much we plan you still don’t know the unexpected this time I’m taking action I started the Facebook page a week ago was making posts paid 10$ a day to run some Facebook ads the ad did okay didn’t get me any calls goal for this week and is to have someone message or call with some interest I have a sales background so I’m confident in being able to close people just need to find the initial customers curious if most people are doing Facebook ads or if there is another angle that I’m missing I may try to offer a free service just so I can get more social media posts

Reclaim’d didn’t “have a year.” It had five months of real-world pressure testing—and that matters more. Here’s the straight data, no fluff: $50,000 in revenue 62 jobs completed $800 average ticket Built without a full seasonal cycle Built while learning in public Built while breaking things If you annualize that blindly, you’ll lie to yourself. If you analyze it correctly, you’ll realize the foundation is solid. The Seasonality Smacked Us in the Mouth (Good) August was the best month. Momentum, demand, confidence. September was the worst. Not because the business “failed”—but because reality showed up: Summer ended. Holidays crept in. Decision-making slowed Booked jobs declined exactly when you’d expect them to December still closed $7,000, which tells me something important: The business doesn’t disappear. It compresses. Spring and summer aren’t a hope—they’re a pattern waiting to be exploited. Mistakes Were Made (On Purpose, If I’m Honest) Let’s get this out of the way: Bad hires happened I hire fast and fire faster. That saved me from long-term damage. Anyone who brags about “never hiring wrong” hasn’t hired enough. Pricing early jobs sucked Not because the market was wrong—because efficiency wasn’t there yet. 4-hour jobs turned into 5–6 Margins leaked quietly We paid for education in labor hours Systems worked… but weren’t sharp They held. They didn’t collapse. But “holding” isn’t the same as “clear.” That’s the difference between survival systems and scale systems. The Real Pivot: What We Actually Sell Here’s the moment the business grew up: Reclaim’d does not sell cleanouts. We sell relief. Relief from: Decision fatigue Shame about clutter Overwhelm “I’ll get to it someday” guilt The truck, the labor, the hauling—that’s just the delivery mechanism. Once that clicked, pricing started to make sense. The Pricing Shift That Had to Happen We’re changing the structure on purpose: Organizing = add-on Hauling = add-on Cleanout ≠ everything bundled by default

I am sitting here contemplating how to make this Skool membership a massive source of value to all of the members joining and it dawned on me that I haven't asked those of you who have joined. What do YOU want to see here that would make this membership worth your time, and for the paid tiers what would you want to see that would make it worth the $29/month and $99/month respectively. Ultimately my goal here is to answer as many questions as I can to as many people as possible! Your insight is appreciated!
