Making a great first impression

I work with many clients that also own small businesses, and I even have a few small businesses as clients.  We all know that when you are in business the best thing you can do is make a great first impression.   This past weekend I was talking online with my virtual buddy James from Parking Lot Striping San Antonio.   He was making some great points about how small business owners can make such an impact on their customers simply by have a fresh looking parking lot.   I had not given it much thought until James made that statement, however since that time I find myself taking note of every parking lot I pull into.
