Clif has been a Cartridge World franchisee for 18 months.

He has found that customers exist all around him, and the easiest way to find them is to talk with those individuals who come into his store.

He services both walk-in customers as well as other businesses. And the best way he’s heard about businesses who might need his products is by talking to his walk-in customers. Customer relations is key. If you ask the right questions and treat your customers right, you’re going to get referrals.
