Step-by-step action plan

Define one ideal customer and the specific result they should get from Pet Sitting & Walking.
Interview five potential customers and note the exact words they use to describe the problem.
Create a one-sentence starter offer: trusted care for neighbourhood pets.
Build the smallest useful sample or demo you can show before asking for payment.
Set a starter price, a clear delivery window and one simple way for customers to pay.
Contact 20 qualified prospects with a personalized message and a link to the sample.
Deliver the first order manually, ask for a testimonial and document every repeatable step.
Review replies, sales and delivery time each week; improve the weakest stage before adding more channels.
