Tell them to take you off their call list,
I think they have to if you ask
-
Next time they call ask if they need a window cleaner and don't take no for an anwser ;D ;D ;D
-
I thought you meant with new customers I was made up for you. These people are pains though, but I suppose window cleaners cold call so I'd be a hypacrit to moan but at least we don't try the hard sell do we
-
Not a phone call but I got an email from a seo company saying my website is on page 37 of google for search terms office cleaning Swansea ;D and would I like a price on them getting me to page 1.
Problem with that is that I am based in Plymouth and we don't offer office cleaning ;D
What a stupid company!!!!! But I am well chuffed to rank that high in swanse for office cleaning ;D ;D

I'm actually waiting for them to call, might take them up on it. fancy doing some office cleaning in swansea...... trouble is we are page 62 for haemorroid cream suppliers in Belfast.......maybe I'm in the wrong field, so to speak..... :-\

When I get an unsolicited phone call, I know I'm not going to buy anything, so I don't want to waste the person phoning me's time.
So I just say, "Sorry, I don't want what you're selling, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm gonna hang up!"
And then I hang up.

I don't have them on the phone long. I normally say that I've sold my business Purewater Window Cleaning & give them their number.
They are usually very grateful. As a parting comment I add that he's a bit of a joker & will try saying he doesn't need one - be persistent & it'll pay dividends!
;D ;D ;D

All the best ;D
My approach is normally just say no thanks & hang up. I'm never rude to them but equally I don't owe them anything & didn't ask them to call.

Colin, have you tried Formby and Southport? some very very big houses up there mate but very very hard to get, ive just started one in Formby i got last week, it took me over 2 hours for the first clean, the fella who got me it is trying to get me loads more, he is in with them all and says they find it hard to trst people, not arsed bout how much they charge its just that they need trustworthy people who look right and operate right with all the correct gear and set ups
-
just as i said that ste m
is tying all the best gaffs up
up e pops n confirms it la ;D ;D ;D
-
Correct again Gav!
Ste I'm not up there yet but I'm aiming to be by spring u currently
Work in the nice towns before with the big houses,
And getting some good work out of it,
I've found the same as what you say,
People want some one the can trust or they will stick with dirty window
So I'm pickin up a lot of recommendations as they all move
In the same crowd, funny enought this is we're these £8
Job popped up ;D props threw me that one lol
-
Personally Colin I wouldn't knock or leaflet these areas. Once you have one just let that house do the work for you, always say hello to the neighbours and only offer your services if they ask. Be very polite to,your current customer and always do extras like garage doors an low level upvc , this goes a long way as they all love it.
I know the towns your on about( or think I do) as I used to work in Crosby when I was a young lad and we used to take cars out round there all the time on test drives. I used to work in livock an Edwards in Crosby. It's well gone now as it was a rover garage.
