Title: Can't believe how many new jobs i am getting at the moment
Post by: H20cleaning on June 05, 2013, 06:57:43 pm
i posted last month about been happy to gain 16 new customers since january....
this week i have picked up 4 well paid jobs for cleaning 1 x a month
so basicly since january i havent hardly had time to leaflet or any form of advertising, and i have added £300 for every month!! i am so happy as last summer wasnt to good for me.
i forgot to mention how many extras i have been getting aswell!!!!
anyone else noticing a massive increase in demand this year ?

Won't last, they will get a good "one off" on a promise of love ever after.
You'll do all the hard work at a not good enough price.
Some low down ladder monkey who has never cleaned a window 'FRAME' - Duh "Never noticed the frames" will benefit from all your hard work.
Then it will start raining or maybe snowing - oh and it will be windy as well as freezing cold.
Then you will leave ONE  spot on your easiest best customer's window and she will dump you.

I have more or less stopped one offs now. I will quote a silly price over the phone sometimes. I just can't be bothered with them.

I used to hate one offs, but now price them at a ridiculous rate, approx 4- 5 times what I would charge for a regular clean, and amazingly I get most of them!! :)))

I'm on 35 customers this week. Hope to keep above 75% of them in 3months.

Have been averaging £63 canvassed per hour this week which is fantastic!

I lost a lot end of last year but picked it all up by last month .. Found £500 a month and most of it local which is a nice change, sign of thing easing financially ? Or are we just recession proof?

How many of you are canvassing?

Just two of us. I am very experienced at gaining new work so I have the better figures but the lad is averaging 6 per day so I'm very pleased with his results. I've now got 91 first cleans coming up. I hate them!
