Title: Facebonk
Post by: Soupy on February 15, 2017, 10:58:32 am: Hi all,

Just wondering what you all think of Facebonk for advertising, I've always stayed away from it because I assumed it would be more hassle than it's worth. However today I discovered that Facebonk have taken it upon themselves to make an 'unofficial page' for me, so I figures it's probably better if I am in control of it.

Any experiences with negative feedback on there?

Does it generate work?

Do you pay to get seen? If so, is it worth it?

Any input appreciated.

I now dont canvass, i simply put an add up and wait for bites and go from there.

I guess it will improve your communication skills, make you up your game with standard clean and i guess Customer service skills

I think that's why my wife said I'm not allowed to comment as I'm not known for best diplomacy skills

I'll see what the year brings

I think it's ideal if you have a full round and just want to keep it topped up.

She says she filled in the quote form on my website twice and left a voicemail on my phone. I checked the server for the website and there is no record of her whatsoever. I would never ignore an enquiry for work, no idea what she is up to.

I would imagine there is plenty of fake stuff written on bookfarce about other cleaners. Then you have the wasters/bad payers that want to tell the world how bad you are to get back at you, not wanting to clean their council house etc. lol
