Title: Email to schools
Post by: G.W.C on June 29, 2014, 05:31:25 pm
Thinking about sending an email to some schools in my area as the 6 week break is nearly upon us.

Has anyone got a similar email I could look at? Just to get some ideas floating about my head as it has went blank and everything I start writing seems to sound stupid

Also has anyone done this before? If so what were the results like?

I get great result from emails and letters. Either hire someone to write it or study.

Any chance of seeing a copy mate? I want it to sound right as once its done it is just a case of changing their name sending them around

just tell them you would like to express interest to quote for any window cleaning they require, no waffle straight to the point.

Not to put a downer on you bud but id think the schools are sorted by now.
All the schools/college that i do had their paperwork to me about a month ago.
Genuinely all the best with it though

Not true. Loads os schools are now turning into academy's. This means the government/council no longer say who does what. The schools now find who they want and what to pay. No strings like they have to have this and that. Ace for 1 man bands

I don't mean that. I mean that they're off in  weeks and have sorted their schedule of works already. Academy or not.

Not true in all cases. I viewed a school on Friday last week following an out-of-the-blue phone call from their Caretaker on the Wednesday asking for a quote for internal and external clean. Put my quote in on Sunday night, got the purchase order on Monday Morning just gone booking me in for that 6 week period.

Go for it. Don't pay someone to knock it up for you - put what you THINK you should put in and see what happens.

Hope you get some decent results.

The Schools have been the decision makers for a longtime now not the councils . Mike

A purchase order after production of RAMS and insurances.
Get a call/email from the smaller jobs but anything over about a grand is purchase orders...
