selling supplies on the side
« on: March 21, 2007, 04:18:52 pm »
hi
has anyone had any success with selling supplies on the side to their cleaning business?

just looking to perhaps add this service, bring in more customers and cash.

i have been looking around for wholesalers/suppliers and found a few, just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this.
thanks
Lisa

I never used to bother selling consumables to any of my customers until one of them sort of begged me. Its great now I am popping stuff all over the place even to non-customers. The mark up you can sometimes add is great.
I would say go for it.
BE A WINNER

Hi Lisa, how you doing?

If you have the chance you might as well give it a go.

Have you passed your driving test now? Hope so as it would be difficult for you delivering anything that isn't on a bus route.

The guy I used to do a small; PAYE job for was supplying too.  He ended up selling his cleaning business and going into suppling full time.  He said it was much less stressful and better money.
