I find what Lee is doing very interesting, and so do many others.For that reason i'd like to argue on his behalf that this post and others like it are breaking new ground.On this basis, that he is trying to pionneer something new, and is prepared to give marketing info to others, that he be given some slack.

Good for you Lee ;)
Am not a window cleaner, but we do everything else if that is any good?
Regards
Alan

Thought I should mention that there will be NO cost to the people i will include (at this stage)
the only cost to them will be if they decide to buy customers from me, no membership fees or things like that.
in the long term there will be such costs (they wont be very high)

A dragon might say if this is market research they are not exactly breaking your door down are they.Assuming you really can get sensibly priced solid jobs, maybe their aren't enough up to scratch windies.Or maybe any up to scratch windie doesn't need to buy in work.

very true, but we will see how many have emailed me tomorrow, im only looking for 10 or so at the moment. I know that I can get sensibly priced solid jobs because the method I use is allready proven in my own business and has been one of the keys to my success. when it comes to guys buying more work in what you say is true but this could help someone go from 1 van to 2 or 3 in a quicker time, and as someone with multiple vehicles myself i can say that when youve had a taste of that income and you dont have to clean windows anymore , you will just want more! trust me! on the other had this could help a one man band to refine their round so they can earn more with less effort.
things like wfp,gutter vac, and so on are becoming more and more popular year on year, window cleaners are now proper business people.
its all about supply and demand as in any business, I know one thing for sure and thats if I could buy enough customers in a short space of time to have a 2,3 or 4 vehicle business I would go and get a loan from the bank a credit card, re mortgage, what ever. If i saw 1000 well priced new customers for sale in my area, just waiting for a window cleaner I would find a way to buy them all, hell I almost wish someone else had come up with my idear so I could just sit there and buy customers and watch my business grow!!!!

Having checked out seerclean i see nothing on there that relates to my idear
-
Keep looking. ;)
-
Unless I am missing something this idea(no r in it) has been done a thousand times over, you advertise and then sell the work after quoting, how is that going to work on a national scale?
Good luck with it anyway, I will watch with interest
-
Keep looking. ;)
well i must be blind 8)

Lee I completely admire what your doing, but in sales myself and already selling in this industry - Im just interested in how your getting your leads to sell on? On the telesales side of the business I know the call rates etc, but for the business to come to you must be fantastic.
But hats off to you, and I really hope you do well.

I admit there is SOME similar things there but not what I think will be the key to it.
Kate I got your email thanks, if you would like to give me your number I will call for a chat, we may be able to work together on my project.

Hi Guys,
To be honest I've been trying to stay out of Lee's thread after reading it the other day.
I do think it sounds similar to what we did a couple of years ago, but I don't see anything wrong with this. I thought at the time there was a lot of scope for such an idea...and still do, but what I found was that it was a nightmare to administer.
My scheme was subscription based, some guys did very well out of it whilst some guys in other areas had few or no leads. We only ran the scheme for about three months I think and called it quits.
The way I see it is that rather than a subscription based system, where you may or may not be passed quotes or work in your area, Lee is proposing a "pay as you go" scheme where you only pay for guaranteed leads.
I think Matt remembers the scheme as I passed him a very nice lead...which he sent me a case of beer for, which was very nice!
Good luck...be interested to know how it works out, you're welcome to contact me Lee on 07900 800 315.
Cheers,
Huw

Not sure if I'm quite sure what it's about, but I'm based in Guildford, with established work in the villages leading to Cranleigh and (half way to) Dorking. I do not actually cover Cranleigh and Dorking at the moment, but providing the job is big enough it's not a problem as such. Might not be 100% what you want, but you can always send me an email, it's in my profile.
