So far I have used one of Mark’s (working mans club) made some changes sent out about 30 Saturday week ago quoted on 5 guaranty 4 but must go via the committee I also pick up two pubs by word of mouth.

Once again thanks Mark

Mike now I’m envious I only got back Friday week ago wish I were still there even with the rain. If you are in the San Pedro (Marbella) area I have a Ninja there which you are welcome to use, they love brit cc their.

Have a look at www.ocibr.com 'porthole for cleaners' you will have to register , click on downloads , they have an amazing amount of stuff that you will find useful.You can put something of your own on the site for other people to use then whatever you use does not cost you anythng.
I have used a fair bit of stuff that Mark Betts has put on there (thanks Mark),and it works wonders.

Hope this helps ;)

Mark, one day you´ll learn your lesson, never offer anything on a public forum because you´ll get 20 private messages asking for it :o

If I was honest  fancy sales letters don´t work :o :o

if you want to send out letters to aquire work then just get your letter headed paper, and type out a simple letter asking if they need the services of a proffessional carpet cleaner then send them to small bussiness where the boss or manager opens the mail ( not a secetrary)

flash, clever salesletter may look good but they can´t make someone have their carpets cleaned if they arent dirty.

Senor Mike ( still raining :-[ :-[ )

Who do you give the work to Mike, when they answer YES I do require the services of a Professional Carpet Cleaner??
Title: Re: Wtd: Commercial Spec Letter examples
Post by: squeaky on March 30, 2004, 08:58:19 pm
They obviously work for some and not others , I have always used them and it works for me , I can only speak for myself but I send out about 70 to 100 a month (2nd class )and get better results some months than others but it does depend on who I am writing to that month and the time of year etc, it is the repeat business 6/12 months later that is handy.

Mark,

Rather than send me all that Marketing stuff can you just send me the money. :D

Cut out all that paperwork, postage etc.

see you tommorow
