Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a smart move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?

However, an entrepreneur who owns an underground storage tank business in a different city can be a great learning resource for you, once they realize that you are not going to directly compete with them in their community. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.

Where does one find somebody who runs an underground storage tank business on the other side of the country to talk to?

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.
