Commercial bid questions?

[outdoor landscapes]

hi everybody,

my name is tom and i've owned my landscaping business for one year. It has strictly been residential. I would like to get some commercial accounts for next year. How do i go about getting bids? Do i have to call commercial properties myself to get a bid in? Also what is the best time to do this.I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!!

thanks

tom

pull in front of the business with your truck , get out and talk to the owner abouty a free estamite. thats how i do it.
