if you mean a domestic cleaning company approached you to clean a carpet for one of their customers, treat it as normal.
Quote the rate you would if it were your customer. If they wnt to add a % then thats theirs.
If they become regular offering you jobs you could perhaps discount, as you would (or not) a regular customer of your own.

You will have to do the job i guess as a normall one if i were you as they will ask for a cheap job so they can add ther bit on.

Always you will get promised lots of work in the future but dont hold your breath ::)

back to the thread.
she's asked me to clean all her jobs that need carpet cleaning, ive sent her a survey form to fill in then she emails it to me and i give her a price, she then gives her quote to the client, guess she'll add a bit on for my cleaning plus her own price for the domestic cleaning and if she gets it, then ive got a job. think thats how its going to work. not spoke in detail but she's got a quote tomorrow so i'll find out. funny how she's got one quote tomorrow and ive got 5. still, if she can get me work without me advertising then i guess its all good.

THink red indians giving a friendly wave and greeting.

THink Hoolywood. Think Westerns. Think cowboys and indians.

"How" was a childrens' programme explaining "how" things worked and explaining caoncepts in a child friendly way.

Or at least I assume that is why you said "?"
