Trust me on this, nobody fears your business model, nobody loses any sleep
over your business model and nobody is getting out of the business over your
business model, you sell a few dozen panels a month while ADT installes a
few thousand, they don't fear your business model

I talked to Jack last year, he doesn't fear your business model, Doug was a
little nervous but that turned out to be an upset stomach instead

28 years later and he hasn't called you back for the install? Time to move

installing by now.
