I created a facbook page and make albums etc to show your work and then i invited all my friends ,then they start sharing with their friends,so on and so on.....Then for a small fee you can promote your page from hundreds to thousands of people near you and farther ,It puts an ad up on facebook for everyone to see .You have the choice of choosing how much advertising you want and for how long. I think the last time i did was for about 18,000 people i hit and cost me like 20 bucks,They have tons of options,,And its work great for me .Just an idea..

There is nothing that works as well as going door to door with a quick and normal approach. Don't "sell" people, introduce yourself, ask a few questions about their particular business and take some mental notes on what you may be able to offer them on your second visit. Ask for referrals from any sales that you get, its much easier to go in somewhere on one of their friends recommendations. Don't be the annoying sales person that wastes peoples time either i.e. dont go on and on about wraps at a business that has no company vehicles. It takes time, persistence, planning and the right message but it pays dividends.

One of the best books I have read was ... How to close a deal

Knocking on doors anyway ya can really helps, & take on everything ya can, saying yes is the best answer.

I see you are in Oklahoma so you should have little problems selling the bigger cities like Tulsa are open with not enough sign people, I know this because another sign person said there was alot of work that needs doing.

I may not have the answer you are looking for because ya really just got to .

Drive around and look for businesses that have no signage. Also leaving your contact card at offices that have lease signs so when new business comes in they might call you. Also mailings to contractors and architects who put signs up at new builds.

What equipment are you using?

Look for businesses who's signs are in need of replacement

So many ways to do this, but really, the best one, as mentioned, is calling on people, introducing yourself and asking to leave a brochure or card for the next time they need something.

Look presentable, wear some decent clothes, speak clearly and don't sound desperate.

I'm not promoting drinking, yeah right, but I've gotten some of my biggest customers while talking at the bars/clubs.

Ya hafta sport confidence, regardless of your environment.​

For books that will help you in sales (and other areas), Id say the best, hands down, is How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. If we had a sales team, this would be required reading before being hired.
