I charge 2 cleans plus expenses but only take payment after they have been cleaned. So first payment due after first clean then I take next payment in 4 weeks when been cleaned again, stops any cancellation payments or having to replace work. You only pay for what cleans.

My cancellation rate is low due to being a window cleaner so I know what I am doing.

I am putting my money where my mouth is and showing how confident I am in my service....
Title: Re: Gdwindowcleaning

I only take people on who either have no window cleaner or are unhappy with the service they currently get.

I never compete on price so will get good prices wherever I go.

I know some think you should walk away if they have a cleaner but if they are unhappy and generally willing to pay more then I will take them on.

This is a business after all and in my opinion the original window cleaner is to blame for not doing a good job or not being reliable and turning up when they say they will....

So when your at the door and they say "I already have a window cleaner"
Do you ask them if they are happy with their current window cleaner?

I just ask because i have been out canvassing for the first time this week and at first most of the houses said no thanks or i already have a cleaner and i just said ok thank and just left. Should I have asked the ones who said they had a cleaner if they were happy with him?
Title: Re: Gdwindowcleaning
Post by: stuart mc on January 17, 2012, 08:07:23 pm
where are you canvassing Johnny and I will tell you if it is ok ;) I am getting a few enquiry's from up the braes, maddiston and redding etc, lots of new builds up there that the ladders lads would struggle with, maybe worth a knock
Title: Re: Gdwindowcleaning
Post by: Jonny D on January 17, 2012, 09:13:23 pm
It is up that way its Rumford. I know a guy up there and he asked if I would do his so I started putting flyers out and then chapping doors round about him.
Title: Re: Gdwindowcleaning
Post by: GDwindowcleaning on January 17, 2012, 09:20:42 pm
Hi
Knocking for window cleaning is a numbers game, if they say no for any reason then walk away. I only get new customers who have no window cleaner or are unhappy with the one they have. You will spot the unhappy ones a mile off cos they will want to find out more.

The real sales side comes in with selling yourself in the first few seconds and then closing them down to go ahead.

Any more questions please feel free to ask...

yep that is the place mate, send me your number again, I have a new phone, any from that area I will give your details, there is a few good w/c in that area and a few chancers and I always get calls from there this time of year, but be prepared for a bit of grief after the winter when they start again, saying that you will know if you pick any of the chancers work up because the customer will faint when you quote more than £2.50 a clean ;D but honestly mate a good place to go, as about 90% of my enquiry's in recent weeks came from there in recent weeks, so someone has dumped a round ;) I wouldn't go as far as asking if you are happy or not with your current w/c. but leave a card or leaflet for the future, but that is just me others will disagree
