Title: Canvassing
Post by: chrismroberts on October 09, 2006, 06:41:30 pm
Hi everyone!

I am planning to set up a small contract cleaning business to supplement my window cleaning round. I have loads of experience working as a cleaner for these businesses, but have never canvassed any work from scratch  :-\

Does anybody have any suggestions on the best ways to generate business? I built my window cleaning round from scratch just by knocking on doors, and this has worked wonders in the domestic window cleaning market but I know that the contract cleaning market is a lot different.  Does dropping in to offices on spec work? Or is it best to send a letter to the "facilities manager" or something along those lines?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can make  :)

Chris
