Re: Overheard At Home Depot: "Pointy Bolts"
Seems to me you guys are missing out on some marketing opps. I always wear my logo shirt whenever I go to one of these shops. I get asked for help, and am happy to share whatever knowledge I have. I also look for opportunities to steer the conversation in such a way that I can give the person helped my card. You never know when the person you are helping is getting ready to sell their house (and buy a new one.) Or if they know someone who is.
I can always imagine the conversation at home. "You know, I met the nicest most helpful guy at the hardware store the other day. He is a home inspector and he really seemed to know what he was talking about...."
Even if it never turns into business. Helping people has never hurt me. And very seldom has it cost me anything.
