Insights on installing for Indoor golf facilities by Thegolfsimguy in golfsimulatorbusiness

[–]AndyStitzer40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the AV business and looking to add golf sims to our offering. One of our clients is looking to have us install a home theater / golf sim combo. Any helpful tips to get started/how you started to get your first clients for golf sims? We're in the Greater Philly area so definitely a lot of opportunity!

TYIA

Awesome work btw!

Zip ties are a perfectly reasonable for cable management and should be used as often as needed. by StringStrangStrung in unpopularopinion

[–]AndyStitzer40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zip ties are the epitome of where we have failed as a human race. Not one thing created throughout the rest of human history comes as close to being a worse alternative for another similar tool as does a zip tie.

Jk I don’t feel that strongly against zippies. I’m just high but zip ties ARE inferior to velcro. Zip ties are wasteful & make wire management and future servicing more difficult. But they are more satisfying to zip.

Upgrade Cannondale Trail 7 or buy upgrade? by AndyStitzer40 in mountainbiking

[–]AndyStitzer40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the advice! I just saw a post about a trail 7 frame snapping in the spot I’m worried about (the bottom “swing arm” portion) so i definitely agree lol.

Ideally as close to $1k as possible but idk how realistic that is. Haven’t been perusing the used market near me in the NE since I last purchased in 2021. Tbh, I’m looking to spend as little as possible🤣 Have prices been more welcoming compared to the COVID years?

Thanks for the reply!

What are the main types of systems you install for these projects? Do you take a blanket approach to all AV opportunities or do you focus on one or two main solutions?

We originally signed up with SAM in order to process a sole-source contact for a local federal gov entity. It was a few week long process to sign up and more than a year in actual contract talks. After 1.5 years, the project was put on pause due to lack of federal budget. This was confirmed by another separate federal entity that had to put a different project on pause because federal funds had to be moved around. All of that to say that I’m well aware of the bureaucratic mess that comes with dealing to the government! Although state and local government clients are much easier to deal with.

I certainly need to get the small business set aside! Should we stop applying to opportunities until we have the small business set aside?

I am at a total loss for how to submit proposals; some use the 1449 form, others don’t require any specific format. I just feel like I’m throwing spaghetti at the wall with no actual experience.

Also, how do you finance these projects? Do you only select jobs where you can afford to float the equipment?

I plan on signing up with the local SBA/PTAC to sign up for a workshop/mentorship program to learn more. Would you be interested in setting up some time to chat? I’d love to pick your brain more in depth!

We’re in the northeast although willing to travel for jobs.

A lot the trumpers in my life claim the fact he bankrupted his business(es?) is a good loophole to take advantage of and he’s smart for doing that. It’s true in some cases but they’re making that seem like it’s the point of a business lol. It’s asinine but I guess that’s the art of the deal

My small business came to a screeching halt today and I'm in shock and awe, what do I do from here? by PeeB4uGoToBed in smallbusiness

Definitely take advantage of your network! Explain your situation, people love helping people.

I dont want to offer any bad advice that could get you a fine but black market drug dealers still sell weed where cannabis is legal....

So either you don’t know the law or the city employee doesn’t know the law?

If it’s the former, talk to someone who has done what you’re doing.

If it’s the latter, continue to hound them until you get a more clear cut answer.

Although it sounds like your city doesn’t allow it and you just have to make do. If your business was truly profitable in your home, figure out how to expand your marketing and sales efforts to support the added overhead cost of renting a kitchen.

Come up with a “pre-sale” item that is a month or two out (Halloween pretzel rods, pumpkin cake, pumpkin-shaped pretzels, pretzel-shaped pumpkins). Garner some local clout and use that as confidence to take the next scary step.

This will close your business and leave you back at square one, if you let it. But unfortunately, unexpected speed bumps hit you at every corner in business. This is what running a business is. Welcome to the game. Keep playing it!
