My work is 95% domestic.
I really want to get some commercial work. What's the best way to go about this?
Cheers,

Hi mate,
How you doing?
What's the reason you want commercial work?
Andy ;)

I currently have no commercial work so I'm also interested in how I get to talk to the right people as it always seem to be controlled from a land far far away and no body knows anything

Hi Andy,
I'm good mate, you?
Main reason I want to get some commercial work is that it appears to be well paid.
Have you got much?
What are your thoughts on it?
Cheers,
Caleb

Hi mate,
I'm good to thanks ;)
I haven't got any commercial window cleaning work anymore... I much prefer well paid domestic work its a lot lot less hassle in my experience.
I do some commercial gutter cleaning work for a property management company - they seem well behaved so far.

Did you get rid of your commercial work?
How did you come by the gutter cleaning work - did you approach the property management company?
I have a gutter vac but as the poles are so heavy we mainly do it by hand.

It seems well paid.
Some of it can be, but what you need to understand is a lot of it is very competitive and infact probably wont earn you anymore or even less with commercial.

99% of my work is commercial. It is more competitive, the big boys are trying to take over and have one contact worth £500 can be a bit stressful at times , but it all worth. All i have been doing for the last 30 years is knocking on on doors and asking to speak to the DM, ask if they would like a price, you wil get knocked back a lot , but you will also pick up good paying work, 1 customer a day is better than 15 especially when it pays more, usually a lot more.

some of my commercial is my best paying work.££50-60 an hour but its only a few jobs here and there(offices etc).mine have come through recommendations and word of mouth though.im 90% domestic 10% commercial.
if you really want to go for it i would book some telesales hours with Becci Swan.

Hi Caleb
A lot of window cleaners find that they do not have the time to be tied to a desk to do their own telesales, or do not like the process of knock backs or getting past gatekeepers (receptionists) which is where a telesales company can be a great help.
We average 1 appointment secured every 1-2 hours for window cleaning services, and have over a year experience of working with many people on this forum.
Please get in touch if you would like further info.
Kind regards
Becci

DM, is decision maker, just ask for who deals with the window cleaning contract, always try and get a price in. You need to get clued up on risk assessment, and method statements, and have public liability. This method has served me well the only time i have not grown the business was in that recession, it hit commercial work hard, we have passed that now, good luck.
