hi folks just wondering on average how many jobs per day do you book in ??
-
I average 4 cleans per day, some days the phone rings a dozen times then nothing for 3 days.

2=3
always the big one in the morning. then hopefully a medium. then a small single room fitted on the end.
-
4 to 5 but up to 7 if really busy.

this time of year 2 to 3....in the summer 3 to 4
-
Owing to time constraints, the most I can physically fit in is 2-3 a day. I don't like to do more than 2 ovens a day though, I'm usually ready for a pint by the time I've finished the second one.... ;D
If time allowed though, I'd be happy doing 3-6 jobs a day....
Most I've ever done was 3x3 bed houses in one day, when I first started up with the Extracta Exel and the Scrubba Deluxe... I was absolutely spent.... ;D
-
just one big job in the morning, then off to work. ;D

Derek ;D ;D
I did one very big job (stop it!) today, suite & carpets all through, then a quote and then a small lounge & hall.
Other days I'll have loads of bits n bobs that could mean 6 calls in total, but I try to avoid those sorts of days by offering deals on extra work so they are an exception. I hate driving around and setting up/packing away lots of times in a day.
So to answer the question, probably average 2.3 jobs a day :)
-
Usually three jobs a day here myself..
It has got busy this week with bookings so that has gone up to four..

Forgot to say that is for 2 of us working together, When i was on my own 2 - 3 was enough.

I've done 5 today and home for 4 o clock, now got to go out and to take daughter to swimming lessons why did I finish early?

3 to 4 depending what they are pub this morning, lounge and bedroom followed by leather suite just a typical day
-
My average this month is 5/6 jobs per week. I am flat out but quite a few jobs are 2,3 or even 4 days.

Wouldn't this be wonderful in an ideal world......perfect for doing and for scheduling :)

Sorry. Folks I worded it wrong what I meant was how many inquires do you usually get per day and how many do you expect to convert del ;)
-
Average 2 to 3 a day and that fills up the working day

you don't need an ideal world you just need to book them that way,
unless they can do no other time i won't let a customer book a single room for 8am.
i tend to book all big jobs for a morning I just just say to the customer " the next space we can book this job is 8am next Wednesday" if i single room needs cleaning i say "we have the last appointment of the day next week on tues & friday"
i just offer appointment times that fit into this scheduling procedure
-
Depends on size of job but anything from 2 to 5 a day.
7 jobs in one day has been my record. Done that a few times. Thats a very long day though.
-
Del thought Rodney was the plonker ;)
Some times none then it goes manic, but more or less working every day, don’t need to covert. Cheap a chips with a price tag of caviar ;)

Gone are the 7 in a day, 5 can be too many but like you say depends on what the job is, if I'm doing a call for a retailer (spot and stain work) I can get through quite alot my average job price has gone up quite alot this year so I don't need to do 7 a day I'd be rich if I did!

Long term average over a year would be 5 a day.
Have been known to put in 15 hour days and had considerably more jobs than 5. Obviously the size of the job has a bearing. As has the distance you may need to travel between jobs.
I know there are some on the forum who have a helper which if you think about it means you should be able to comfortably get through (getting on for) twice as many jobs as one person.
As I don't do any leafleting and rarely do on-site quotes there are more hours in a day for doing jobs.
It's amazing how much faaster you can go if necessary :o

Do you have a helper Roger?

Hi Wynne
Have had. Thought I might get home sooner by having the extra pair of hands. Only trouble was work generated expanded to make full use of 2 sets of hands so ended up working just as hard and for as long as before. The benefit was turnover, and more particularly, profit rose considerably. The downside was I was knackered and ended up with vat and larger income tax bills. However it has created a large database of repeat clients, paying large ticket prices. And of course once you've worked for somebody you will always do the repeat job more quickly in the future because you know where everything is, the layout of the house and how you will tackle the job.
As has been said many times before-the cleaning is, relatively speaking, the easy part...the trick is getting the phone to ring and more particularly converting that to a booking.
On big jobs I have brought other cc's in to help.

Interesting, I was considering it lately but like you say it means you have to work harder yourself ironically. ;D
Sounds like you are sitting pretty with all those clients now though.
-
Hi Rog do all your calls come from web sites . i have a few web sites and put out 20,000 leaflets a month but dont get enough calls. this week i had 6 calls on monday and converted 5 tues wed thurs fri only 2 calls per day. if i had 5 calls every day i think i would be fully booked at all time del
-
Del,
The answer lies in customer retention. If most client stays with you then you won't need to generate so many new callers per day. I am going to guess that many of Rogers calls are either from repeat clients or regular third party recommendations.
You could consider sending out less leaflets and start writing to/calling your historical client database. That should be your little treasure chest if you are making an impression upon them.

2 to 3
