Anyone used them??
Had a call today from them saying how they target commercial cleaning work and charge £40 per quote that turns into a job. Sounded good to me so am giving it a go to see what occurs. Said ill have 4 by friday to go and price.
-
So you only pay per job if you get a job from it?
-
Do you also get to clean first before paying :)
-
Yes im getting min 4 jobs to quote on friday and any i turn into jobs i pay. Sounds good to me but will see how it goes, says she will be targetting showrooms, builders cleans, offices, hotels etc.
-
I had a text from them yesterday and they said £25 per lead !
I told them someone else offered me leads @£30 and they replied with we can do it for £25 per lead .
Per lead means its just an appointment to quote !
Its not all that great really when you could get becci to cold call and still get leads for less .
-
No she rung me today, i have 4 to quote on friday, a hotel, a gym and 2 care homes.
Any i turn into jobs i just simply bank transfur £40 over. A good deal if you ask me.
-
Hi Mick. Have you got any contact details for them, might
Give them a try. Many Thanks
-
If all goes well with leads on friday ill post there details as im a bit worried that they arnt advertised anywhere online or with there company name so dont want anyone ripped off. I am now also using becci swan who comes across verey professional who deffo does the job at hand from all her solid reviews on here. £78 for 4 hours of telesales is defo not to be sniffed at.
-
Ok understand, Thanks

i was told its £40 per appointment
-
Yes heard back from her today, its £40 per lead and wanted £160 for 4 appointments that she has booked me in for, ill see how they go this time and decide whether to give it another shot or not after the responce of the leads.
From where im sitting though becci swan seems the better way to go so hopefully she delivers the fruit i want.
-
have you guys not got enough work already?or do you employ?or is it a case of chasing better paying work and dropping your cheaper priced jobs? ???
-
I keep meaning to stop expanding but i find it addictive and im full of ambition to get better work and to compact all the time.

mick are you vat registered? whats your turnover approx

mick are you vat registered? whats your turnover approx
Yes and not sure why your asking the 2nd question but it gets me by.
-
sorry mick wasnt being nosey just wondering what size operation u run as u post quite positively about building your business. do you find your still competitive even including vat into your prices
-
Ive used sl telemarketing and didnt get one single job from about £750 of leads, woman called suzanne ryan, complete sham
-
Basically she makes it out that the leads shes getting you are good and you turn up to see they obviously already have a window cleaner, so only chance you have of getting it is by undercutting significantly which is going to result in underpriced work...so its crap really, dont fall for it like i did, SL Telemarketting complete waste of my money,
Even worst, i turned upto to quote a lead about half an hour early. I was sat on the carpark and another local window cleaner turned up,obviously for an appointment. So your paying her £40 per lead and then she rings up other local window cleaners and sells them the exact same lead but for £25.
-
Ahhh was this the one you was telling me about? Not good bud :(
-
I have been lucky realy, I converted 1 into a job already just a small hotel, with another wanting a more indepth quote that is a £900 job 4 times a year. The other 2 are nursing homes so am just waiting to hear back from my emailed quotes but fingers crossed.
I had to pay for the leads £40 each so £160 where i thought was pay if i turn them into a job.
I have given her sl marketing another go aswell for next week to see what comes up in the pipeline but overall i cant realy fault the leads as none had a cleaner already so maybe you was just unlucky. I do think £40 for a lead is a lot but if they convert its money well spent.
Will see how the others go.
-
Don't say i didnt warn you pal.
Dont u find it shifty that shes charging u £40 and charging other people £25 and £30 for the exact same service????!!!!
Yep pureH20Services that is the one i was telling you about!
-
I think that anyone who can't cold-call a commercial opportunity shouldn't be a window cleaner, end of.

Cheers for the warning, im not too bothered how much the leads are whether £25/£30 or £40 if the work converts for me. If not ill simply knock it on the head. What made you spend £750 even though you wasnt converting any leads into jobs can i ask?? I only want them in chunks of 4/5 leads so maximum would be £200 for which i dont think is that bad providing the leads are good! As said im also using becci who is much better value for money at £78 for 4 hours but even then if becci only gets 1 lead in that time its cost me a lot more than £40 and on the flip if she gets me more then its cost me less. Its the strong leads im interested in.
-
Bill i notice your from bolton like she is, how did you come accross them??
-
When your paying £30 per lead and getting 4 per week it adds up doesn't it. After 4 or 5 week of listening to her bullpoop i finally pulled the plug,
It feels good to be quoting these big jobs but its if u actually get them what counts.
Good luck with it mick, if i was u i would shop around because im using a different telemarketer and having fantastic results.
Peaceeeeere
-
Got a text from her pal,
Ye bolton mate, what end u from pal, i will try find u on fb
-
Ahhh kent, nice one
-
Cheers, ill see if i can convert any more, if not maybe ill blow her out. Ill keep you updated if goes well or not.
Cheers
