Hi, well had my first day hitting the pavement, decided to "do" our own neighbourhood first. My goal was to hit 60 houses from 11:45 to 4:00 onwards (gets dark around 4:45). Did 62 (mostly leaflet drops :
-will follow up). Will be calling early evenings once it gets brighter. Did 3 quotes converted 2 to my first clients
. Felt great after it, lovely sunny day, until the sun went down along with the temprature, getting cold here now. The two I got were "ranchers" bungalows to you and I, one at $25 dollars the other @ $30, I reckon I should be able to do each one in 1/2 an hour max. Before quoting the price mentioned what I will be doing i.e. wipe sills, do inside patio door for free etc. My goal is $50 an hour and minimum of 2 new clients a day. Will keep you updated on progress. Ended up talking too much to those who were in, although I am sure it will pay dividends in the long run. One question had one guy say "can you do the second floor windows can manage the first myself" I said "sure" quoted him $30 dollars for second floor and $20 for first and left him with the quote. Do you get this kind of question? How would you normally handle it? The quote was a bit higher than I would have done, simply in case I just ended up with just one of the floors. Does anyone have a quotation template/example they use? I just wrote it on the back of the leaflet, but I can see a quotation being more professional, and with it stating the work description you end up with the right level of expectation. All the best for 2005!!
