Has anyone on here used them?
I called them a week and a half ago. I wasn't overly impressed with the telephone manner and what I heard. I then gave my email address as I was told I would be sent info last Monday (29th July) and still nothing. I wouldn't have a business if I worked like that.
So if anyone has had experience with them I would be grateful for some feedback.
Thanks

Comment on his business card post.you will get a response but he was saying hes stacked out so perhaps not had chance to reply.
Easy to forget things.
-
He has worked for 50 cleaners but yet to here any feedback from any of them yet.
Im sure he will get back to you soon though.
Windie hows your canvassing going bud?? You still getting results?.
-
He must be good if he can forget I could be willing to pay him £1200.. upfront!

Hi mick yeah getting cracking results hopefully out thursday.
Enjoying canvassing.picking up lots more work.
I see the benefits of canvassing even if you get 2 jobs its 2 more than would i would get watching coronation street.
i seem to be picking lots of jobs whilst im out too so all is good and the commercial work is coming in through becci the telesales girl.
-
Great stuff!. Glad your doing well.

I wouldn't use them simply because their business name reminds me of WizBit

That sounds spot on mate.that would be a lovely round.

I had 2 people end off last month give me the wrong email address, which just bounced back, hence they never got the info, please resend via my website

Also there was 1 person that was meant to text me their details and I never recieved them

Hi Tom,
As others have said, it would be better for you to call or email Wizz yourself rather than come on a forum as a newbie and criticise him. You wouldn't like people doing the same to you or your business I am sure.
There a a hundred and one reasons why you haven't had a response yet, it's holiday season, and also it's peak canvassing season too. Sometimes people get held up, especially as a one man band.
Just give him a call tomorrow and see what he says.

I totally agree mate. I didn't criticise I just asked if anyone on here had used them to use as a reference and just shared my first impression. I also didn't know he is a one man band, I was once and know its difficult to keep on top of things at times.
Thanks

I'm in Ascot. And yourself?

this sounds like a criticism? ???

Constructive criticism perhaps. As I said I gave my first impression and asked for any references that's all really.
Thanks
Tom

Just out of interest there Tom, what did I say on the phone that made you think mmmmmmm didn't like that ?. I have a set script for every incoming call and I do this as I want to protect myself. Was it me saying Yes there will be 1 offs, yes there will be 2nd clean cancellations, yes there will be idiots because if its that you should thank me for being honest. Just wondering as I don't like people thinking bad off me and want to improve what I do from all angles. I actually welcome constructive criticism.
Many thanks

Hi Whizz
It just seemed a bit rushed and you just wanted to send an email and hope I said yes from that. I think maybe a few questions about my business, what my target audience is, finding out about what I want to achieve, what current customers I have etc.
I like the idea of what you do and I would be looking to work alongside canvassing with someone but I didn't get a chance to find out the basics of how that could work.
Like I say the service seems good, and I will contact the references.
Thanks
Tom

I always ask if trad, or wfp but your comments there are spot on and will be taken on board. If you called me in the morning Im not always at my most switched on either and generally rushing about, all my regular guys don't call me till after 12 as they know this

No problem mate I understand that. I was just after some feedback from anyone on here who may be able to help. I'll contact you direct from now.
Thanks

Wizbit,
Do you only canvass in the afternoons if you're not that switched on in the mornings?

Heres a day in the life of Whizz during Monday to Friday, I arise from my pit around 10, whack the kettle on do online marketing etc, from 12 Im on route to knock looking to finish around 7. Get back to hotel around 8-830 and eat food. 930-11 do paper work from the day then spend the wee hours answering Whizzbizz posts on clean it up and other such forums.
Sat and Sun are a bit different I get up at 8 wipe the sleepy dust of my eyes have a brew and leave at 9ish finish at 3 then get in again, eat write up stuff and relax.
In between doing that I get maybe 15 new enquiries a week which I like to get an info pack too within 48 hours were possible. I have many ongoing clients that ring me just for a chin wag or progress updates etc ( which I love ).
Just as a side note once I send the info packs out I do NOT chase to see if you want to proceed, its down to the cleaner to contact me.
So thats my life very dull I know, thanks for allowing me to share 8)

Yo whizz kid
What sort of prices do you charge? and do you guarantee anything?
PAUL
-
how could you guarantee anything ? he gets the customers and you have to keep them
-
He guarantees a price worth of first cleans so for his £1200 package he guarantees £700 worth of firsts min
-
Yo whizz kid
What sort of prices do you charge? and do you guarantee anything?
PAUL
If you pay him £1200 he will make sure you get £1200 back in paying customers over 2 cleans PROVIDED you follow his proceedure then he is out i think so far this year only one person didn't make target And followed his procedure that person was given a partial refunded, you won't get prime time months ie "now" he is fully booked till around end of nov n started taking payments for next year already!
you do get a life time of support and sometimes he does more then he needs to
Do the next step is cleaning with a backpack on while canvassing lol,
Give him a shout he has plenty of refs they will all give you honest opinions
He will do his best to give you an edge that you keep as many customers as you can.
He doesn't garrentee them as people who boast these things were the reason why they stopped canvassing how can you promise xyz when you just met the customer one time.no one knows whats on the customers mind ,

i think it's £700 customers for £1200 isn't it?
-
£700 to pay on the first clean then £500 again on second cleans ,
-
£700 to pay on the first clean then £500 again on second cleans ,
that's it yes
-
So no-one on here has actually used him then?
-
£700 to pay on the first clean then £500 again on second cleans ,
that's it yes
But u gotta follow the simple procedure rich , no badgering customers, no overwhelming with regular talk, just hand that letter.and clean everything most times the people that initially wanted a one off go regular they realise that actually its a good deal and job, the truth is you never know what these people want until you have there money in your hands.
-
Heres how the marketing package Whizz-Bizz provides works:
When people pay the £1200 upfront (£350 deposit) I get them £1200 in FACES
(FACES are people that have a genuine interest in one or more of your services)
These FACES are data captured people, at this stage.
Very relaxed. Very interested. We remove out call backs and jobs for in the future people. Generally £200 in total. This £200 I call on the agreed dates.
You then text the remainder quite a liary text from your phone, from this text we will lose £300 (maximum). Reasons vary, from changed mind, want to be in, can’t afford, old cleaner turns up, couldn’t say no face to face, bad mood, raining. Your guess is as good as mine.
These are not dead FACES I call them the following month with the view to rebook. We can generally say £80-£150 will be recaptured.
You now have £700 in straight turn up cleans, that you haven’t had to ring or argue with, you arrive , look smart and do the job to the best of your ability.
At the end of the clean you hand/post them a letter thru the door. We co write this letter.
In the letter we lay down the law, and explain about the criteria of being on the round.
From the £700 first clean total I expect £200 to drop off, varied reasons, didn’t like it, cant afford, moody, water on windows, lying so and so, letter miffed them. This £200 is not dead deals I call them the following month. Looking to salvage £50-£100.
Even if it drops below the £500 agreed repeat total short term we still have £500 in faces to recall with an estimated recapture total of £130-£250.
I DO NOT CHARGE ON ONE OFFS ON WINDOW ONE OFFS.
All YOU have to do with me is send one block text, take payments and clean. Very little stress for you.
We even have a generic text that you send out, that filters out messers immediately.
My job description as far as I see it
I go to the door and I find happy smiley people that want to give you money.
Whilst at the door I do an ice break, a price, a close, write on their card, tell them about payment methods, take frequency explain about water on windows. Then I Re explain it all again to them.
Then I do databases in the evening, then call all messers, cancellations and call backs later down the line etc.
I promise you, do it my way and it will be the most stress free canvassed work you have ever had.
So in English this is what you get for your £1200 UP FRONT (£350 deposit)
£700 in payers (MINIMUM)
£500 in repeat work (MINIMUM)
Ongoing support
15+ hours of telesales (MINIMUM)
We travel anywhere in the U.K with no extra costs.
Whether it takes 1 day or 3 weeks, we stay till the end.
On any work that exceeds the agreed amount you get a 2 clean credit facility.
We do not charge on 1 offs on window work.
All hotels/travelling/food are covered
We book in any additional services that you may offer.
You get us when you want us
You get a contract in which you can add stipulations
An invoice
We do not ask for a minimum amount of times to use us
We actively look to book fronts, which is easier work for the cleaner
You know exactly what your getting on every booking with us.
We are on facebook, twitter and have a website.
We will produce references from 5 people that have used us.
We work in all weathers.
You will receive between 70-120 customers every time you use us
Our number one objective is to get you as much of your investment back on the first clean
Most importantly is we do not mislead you.
Its actually cheaper to use us than the no money up front guys when you factor everything in, unless your using someone local.
It is the best offer out there for anyone that is looking at expanding their round quickly with little stress.
Hope this answers many of your questions, feel free to call me anytime.
I actually believe what I offer is very good value for money.

Whizz what do you mean by faces?? What do you say to them to get them interested in maybe using 1 or more services?
To me you make the easy task of canvassing sound so long winded and complicated.
Do window cleaners realy want faces who are interested in "maybe" using there service or would they rather recieve confirmed work where customer has been given a date so all us the wc's have to do is turn up and do a good job so customer will want a regular service!. I know it makes you sound good going the extra lengh but you are only going half the lengh at the beggining by gaining a list of maybe customers?.
-
Thankyou for your enquiree,
A face is someone who has expressed an interest in one or more of the cleaners services, they are all confirmed jobs at point of me leaving them on the door. I call them faces rather than deals as I never actually believe the customer until their money is in the bank, by calling them a deal at this stage is only offering false hope, as many factors to be factored in, changed mind, hubby says no, no money, old guy turns up, going to do them selves, dont like the pole,etc etc
I will give a day and approx time if cleaner wants that but more often than not Ive been told to leave it open, example we are due in next 2 weeks. This actually gives the cleaner more freedom to pick and choose his streets.
Basicly I will listen to the cleaners wants and needs and work as closely to their requirements as possible. I think my main selling feature is I actually care about the cleaners and I genuinely dont want them to go skint.
-
Fair play.
-
sounds very good to mee
-
Thanks Michael, just to put everyone in the loop as soon as this post went up I did send the info to Tom, I then contacted Tom and he said he is now moving to a new area fairly soon. So I wished him luck and its been left like that
-
well after a few mails buy this guy I am out , not kine on him and felt like I was going to get ripped off , so ive got a diffent team starting next week will let you know how they get on

why do you think you was going to get ripped off?
didn't like the way the emails were sent , very rushed , and very take it of leave it , they didn't answer a few questions I wanted to know , and after four emails I got a gut feeling that this doesn't seems right , you know the feeling you get when you start a job for a nasty customer ??
I asked to speak to someone they didn't ring , just many little things that put me off

Sorry you didn't feel comfortable to proceed, and went elsewhere.
What I want people to appreciate is I do get alot of calls (which I always answer) and that I am very direct with fresh enquiries in a lot of occasions when people call they have very high expectations and aspirations that are very difficult to live up too. I find by being straight from the get go it cuts out future issues, and time wasters.
Generally I also find that 80% of the questions are answered in the info Ive sent over and if you ring the references (Cross ref there numbers on google) you will find that yes I do turn up and yes I do deliver.
I did return your call and there was no answer, in the case of Tom I actually rung him twice before we spoke to confirm he had received his info.
I run Whizz-Bizz very much like a window cleaning business and they have many similarities. Heres a few.
1 window cleaner, 100s of customers 1 whizz-bizz, 100s of customers
I knock the door with pretty much 1 package do you want your windows cleaned ?, they can factor in a few things notification, frequency, payment method etc
I offer the cleaners pretty much 1 package do you want the £1200 package ? they can factor in a few things notification, frequency, payment method etc
But ultimately it is very much a take it or leave it situation in both aspects.
Many of the people I speak to actually like the fact Im only on the phone about 20 minutes and just send the info out and leave them alone to make their minds up.
I am easy to find, I have a website, I have facebook, twitter and a mobile. It does state on the email feel free to call me.
I do actually like the fact you guys have come forward and put your concerns across, and I believe both accounts to be true. So now its been established that there is a problem on the initial contact this has and will continue to be improved.
Myself and many window cleaners have many hopes and aspirations in regards to how whizz-bizz can be that perfect amazing team, and I really would like to be that. Unfortunately it is not always possible to please people.
The main issue is I am only 1 person doing 3 peoples jobs. If I was to hire someone just to take fresh enquiries obviously I would have to pay them and that would put my prices up. So what Im going to do is produce a new package which will factor in additional admin staff costs. This will be launched in January.
I believe in regards to the knocking the bolts are on tight, and there are some other areas that need working on. These areas will continue to be improved.
I just want to also make it clear that in both these cases no money ever changed hands.
Many thanks

if you do a good job and have a nice signage van, the word of mouth is enough, don't need a canvasser! maybe when you start but you can do it yourself, and after that no need to canvass or leaflets IMAO
-
I think there are a more canvassing companies around at the moment because there are more people setting up as window cleaners who buy all the equipment and the realise they need some customers to - to actually have a business.
Give it a couple of years and less window cleaners will be setting up so there won't be so many canvassers around then either.

if you do a good job and have a nice signage van, the word of mouth is enough, don't need a canvasser! maybe when you start but you can do it yourself, and after that no need to canvass or leaflets IMAO
maybe for you, but not for everyone
depends how many customers you want and how fast you want to grow

Ok I really really really dont want to come on to this forum and Im sure you lot will tell me to p of ( and i have no problem with this at all whatsoever) lets get that out of the way with first. Here come the questions.
A. Have ever of you picked up the phone in your area (I doubt it)
B Have ever have you tried out of the box stuff
C You expectations of other people picking up business (When you havent tried it yourself, and that amazes me in itself)
D Knocking Whizz Bizz WHEN HE HAS MADE IT QUITE CLEAR HOW IT WORKS, yet the abuse still carries on
E We get messers, and we do the same as you, but know thats no ok we have to put up with messers - WE GET IT TOO NOT JUST YOU
F Free advertising from this forum , where I have to pay ( mods you know who I am talking about but you do nothing)
Can I and whizz bizz have free advertising? Along with everybody else? I know that Whizzbizz does over and beyond what he needs to do. And Silly girlie messages, oh he didnt answer the phone......Because like Mark we filter stuff out its business, neither of us are here to baby stuff your serious or your not. Simples
-
We get bored of messer as much as you guys too
-
Susan Dean, but your not doing your own canvassing yet your knocking a business that youve never used, once again, classic, Ive never done it myself but I expect others to do it and ill knock them with out trying them, some of you guys really need to smart up, get on the phone, do your marketing when YOU have done that KNOCK OTHERS
-
All the time i think outa the box!
I canvass different, i target different, i even pitch different hence never being short of work and being able to find it pretty easy.
I never have a problem picking up work. What do you do kt1 thats out of the box??.
im throwing a guess that you and whizz bizz are the same person??.
-
your "out of the box thinking Mick" hasnt actually worked there, has it, research me, and youll find my site

-
Mick Im sure your a lovely guy, thats all really to be honest, im an old girl have my business, have my customers and all is cool for me, I dont get wound up on fourms and answer every question about canvassing, Got more problems to deal with to be honest..... IF YOU think you have a viable business plan with regards to canvassing get of the fourms and out in the street as Whizz Bizz does
-

Been there done that!
i have 1100 domestic customers mainly 4 weekly averaging at £12 a customer due to mainly £10 fronts and a 22k of commercial work a year!! Do the maths.. Thats why i dont go and hit the streets for others like you i like repeat work and repeat money.
I have my own team who build me up and wc friends i have and also now my stepdad! Im more than capable but choose not too.
Why dont you go and do the dishes or something usefull instead of coming onto a window cleaning forum making out you are something special when all you do is pi$$ people off and then get your nickers in a twist and delete your account!!.
-
Ok Mick whats my company as your in the know?
I dunno kt100001 washing up services maybe?? To be honest i have no need to research you and defo would never use you as i find you rude and have never heard any feedback of you being any good either!.
-
Mick it seems to me that your getting your knickers in a twist, and thats comic value in itself, thank you
-
Mick why are you telling people what you have got IF YOU WERE an stuste business person you SAY NOTHING
-
Mick it seems to me that your getting your knickers in a twist, and thats comic value in itself, thank you
Ok kt1000001. Well as i have my knickers in a twist ill leave you be to "TRY" and find someone who would use you!
Id use windie washer's recomendation of beci swan though as she comes accross friendly and professional as does windie unlike you and your double whizz.
-
And there you have it youve got so annoyed that telling me you think it would wind me up - it dosent mate lol its comic value - I dont even have to react I find it funny
-
Just thought I'd pop my head above the parapet on this hand bags...
I used Whizz Bizz for some canvassing last month and found him to be very good all the way through.
He was very professional throughout. He was held up on coming to see me because he hurt his ankle (or foot was it?), but he called me up and let me know in plenty of time so Im fine with that.
Yes he is quite chatty and informal sometimes with his correspondence, but that's something that didn't concern me really.
His numbers were right, his deal very transparent, and I liked him a lot.
He is very straight and very honest. He worked his socks off, and once he found his feet in my area he picked up lots of work fast for me.
We've worked our way through the first cleans already and are due to start 2nd cleans next week.
So far so good.
Would I use him again? Yes I would, and yes I would recommend him.
:)

Just had a good chat with whizz on the phone, as it goes he is a realy nice bloke, was wrong of me trying to make him bite, i did mean it in a banter way but obviously came accross wrong.
Anyway he is defo not anything to do with kt1. he was man enough to ring me to shut me up lol and clear the air and i appogised to him and we are now good.
-
KT1 is not me, but appreciate them sticking up for me and having there say, just spoke to Mike everything is all good on that front just thanked Richard for vouching for me again he is not me lol.

Unfortunately Tom whenever any canvassing posts go up its a license to hijack posts, especially whizz-bizz ones but Im glad youve had your mind put at rest to some extent, Im also a supplier on another forum and for them to ask me was quite unusual and they vetted me prior. KT1 knows and calls for a few of my guys via here commercial telesales team, crystal has known me 3 years and seen the blood and sweat I put in, and can confirm I always turn up and obviously i sparkle has recently used me. Im hoping SusanDean reads this and contacts the refs I supplied and perhaps give me a call that would be cool.
