Getting accounts

[kingstownquad]

Okay I have a critical question. This year I have had two new customers that i have signed up for a yearly mowing contract say they are signing up because the business that mowed before stopped mowing. I did not think much about it at the time but now I think the business owner just stopped mowing and left the customers to go their own way. Should I get the name of the owner and try to tie up the loose ends. He may sell me the accounts or give them away. By the sound of it he has not sold the accounts. Suggestions? If i buy the accounts what would you pay? I was thinking no more than a month of mowing.

Hi kingstownquad,

From the sound of your post, it seems like these customers want you to service them. I don't think there is a need to talk to the previous LCO.
