Did you get anything back for your efforts Tosh, as i am thinking along the same lines myself.

Out of the 50 (approx) I sent out I received three enquiries, but one of them was for two large residential homes for the elderly; both owned by the same company.
Unfortunately I quoted a fair price that would cover each pane of glass getting cleaned to a high standard at a regular frequency.
But the price was obviously too high, since we didn't get the jobs.
Now I'm a little bit wiser, I should've quoted a cheaper price and cut corners to make both jobs economical to the managers; yet profitable for myself.
A better buisnessman than myself must've won the job.

That aside; another job I was asked to quote for was the Cherry Tree 'Old Folks Home' in Caldicot.
It would be a brilliant job with a WFP; easy access everywhere; all white PVC frames; so I went in there with a CHEAP quote at £65.
Now I know that doesn't mean much without a couple of photographs; but I thought this job was in 'the bag', since I clean the manger's private house of this establisment; and at £65 per month, I thought it was a bargin for them.
Did we get the job?
No!
