Title: Starting up update!
Post by: The Great One on September 09, 2003, 08:04:29 pm

Hi guys

I would like to keep you all updated on my progress into the Cleaning world.

I started on the 4th of september by putting out my Biz cards. I soon realised that i need public liability to legally operate.

This is now sorted out and today i went back out and gave everybody a copy of that, plus letter of intro and my prices.

Half way round I got my first job!

I have been asked to clean a 2 bed flat, have popped round already and it is fairly clean already (they won't all be like that, sadly) so for about 3 hours work I will be in profit already.

Money spent so far about £50

I intend to do an excellent job so they will use me more often.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has given me positive comments and advice (keep it coming please) and for your e-mails.

Keep you all posted

Regards

Martin  ;D

Hi Guys

So, here I am a month down the road.

I have done a couple of house cleans for which I have just been paid (felt good!)

i have now just signed a contract with an LA and they pay per invoice by BACS into my account. I have my Prochem carpet cleaning course on the 4/11. I also have my upgraded PL insurance which I will be delivering today around the area.

so I am on my way and the future is looking bright (hopefully)


Regards

We got free NVQ training from Protocol, it is basic, but it helps when advertising.
