[SB Cleaning]

Good luck with it Lee

I hope it works out for you

[Lee Pryor]

Good luck lee hope you don't lose any money, but in the words of dragons den " im out " 

i find it easy to deliver leaflets where i want the work, plus i cant see the point in paying another cleaning company for getting me work and making their company bigger and giving them a stronger hold on the market.

My company doesnt work in your area? so I would not have a stronger hold. In time you will be able to buy the work straight of the site and cherry pick the area, house type, frequency, and clean value instead of buying leaflets and sitting back to wait for the phone to ring.

not to be rude but it seems to me your just a canvassing company using the internet no different to the ones you can get work off now lee

How did you check the companies you are using ? I know you mentioned you wanted companies on here, but how did you vet every single company ? that applied.

If you really cant see the big differences that this has over canvassing companies then I dont expect to see on board down the line.

Let me help you with just 1

A customer comes of their own accord having made their own decisions rather than being hunted and talked into it on their doorstep.

oh go on one more then,  canvassing companies charge 3x a clean value for weak work. I will be charging alot less for much stronger work where roughly 30% of all the customers will have at least 1 additional service with the first clean, putting the company that buys that customer in proffit on the first clean.

I have met every comnpany on the project and dealt with them at length over the last few months. I am very confident that any customers they serve will be getting a great and proffesional "business person" looking after them.

Lee,

I think it's a great idea and in time it'll work after a few months of drive time ads the calls will start coming in.

I can't see it happening overnight but stick with it I'm sure it'll pay off.

[Davo]

I think that the leads you are selling are too cheap if you are to sustain the level of advertising that is required.
Have you considered letting member companies in an area "bid" on the enquiries that you generate?

[JSMC]

where is this site ?

[boshravie]

Ok people since Slumpbuster busted me yesterday (thanks for that NOT) I feel its only right to put you all out of your misery. Its nice to see also that 200 people around the country looked at the site and thanks to the statistic data package I have under the site I can now see who and where you all are.

Welcome to "I want a window cleaner.com" where "I want does get"!

It is important to know first that I have built my own business with the standard price menu system which I came up with 2 years ago. So that is proven in my own business.

It is also important to know that there are many details that I will not be talking about, Ie future development plans for the site, areas covered and so on. So it would be better to not waste your time bombarding me with questions.

The Project is built around radio advertising, which at this time will reach nearly 200,000 listenerns a week from the 1st of April.

This drives people to the site, where they will learn all about the modern methods of window cleaning and such services. then they see the price for the type of property they have - dont give me stick please im aware of how you may view that, of course there will be lots of price lists at a later time.
Once they choose the frequency they want they submit their details.

The details come to me where I see which companies are covering that area and offer them the work.

What does it cost them?

There is no membership fee or up front cost.

A 6 week customer is sold for 1.5x a clean value

A 12 weeker for 1x a clean value

A flat =£10

any additional service a customer wants with the first clean is sold for just £5 - that could be a £120 gutter clear

If more than 10 customers are purchased at once a 25% dicounts is given on the purchase price.

Once purchased the customer info is emailed to that company and then its over to them to make of it what they will.

Its a bit like a canvasing company in terms of the sale but much stronger as the customer has come of their own accord and made there own decisions on price and so on.

I have hand picked 25 companies covering the area of broadcast and am happy that they are all running top level businesses that will porvide the customers with exactly what the site says they will.

your coments about the site have been taken on board by me, and I can say that ALL the Pryors Window Cleaning content will be removed over the coming months, its all a question of time and money.

If the project it a success it will be expanded around the country. so If you like the sound of all that and meet the requirements set out then email me your company details to info@pryors-uk.com I may not email or call you back but your details will be stored untill a time when the project is coming to your area, then I will contact you.

Many thanks

Lee Pryor

P.S dont hate me for trying to do something that will help us all! oh and my franchise package is damn good as it goes.  

Winners are wide- awake; they are alive; every day you will find them in the market-place making things happen. The real winners are not just dreamers.  Although they have dreams, they are doers - they realize their dreams.  They are the bell ringers, always attempting to wake others up to the numerous opportunities life offers.
If you want to cash in on the rewards life has to offer, follow the winners, do as they do and ultimately you will become the winner you are capable of being.  If you are not presently living the way you really want to live, don't feel bad about it or have any regrets about the past.  Today can be the beginning of a new life, just as you turn the page on the calendar to reveal a new day or month, mentally you can do that with your life.
Listen to the winners.  They want to help you.  Every day they are offering you membership to their club.
The greatest reward a winner can receive is to see someone who has been in a deep psychological sleep wake up and grab that brass ring.  The winners are openly rewarded for the help they provide.  The are easy to spot; they very rarely ever hide.  They drive nice vehicles, wear good clothes, live in beautiful homes, take interesting vacations, have happy families and live in healthy bodies.  They have dynamic, creative personalities and are almost always involved in executing a big idea.
Winners do not permit the criticism of the losers to distract or slow them down.  They are too busy turning their dreams into reality and helping others do the same.

And this how i describe you lee, well done.

Bosh

[Smudger]

hi lee,

this is darrans partner - just out of interest, the main advertising for your new venture is going to be on the radio? Can I ask how many enquiries a week/month you are hoping your campaign will generate, and where did you get this figure from? Or is it really a matter of "sucking and seeing?" (no rude comments fellas please)

How many times a day is your jingle going to be played?

It would seem to me that the costs for this level of coverage to be successful would be quite high, did you consider getting a small team of direct canvassers working instead,or are you doing this as well? as I would have thought that this would generate work much quicker at a lower cost?

Coming from an aggressive sales background I am always genuninely interested in others sales and marketing ideas.

Hes a pryor 

[Clive McDonald]

Well done Lee that sounds very promising. I'm glad i did all that sticking up for you now.Points arising.

1.I would join something like that- but i might need to pay more for it to be sustainable for you (davos point)

2.I liked the marketing involvement of pryors vans etc and you do need some kind of  hook to hang anything on.

3.Will you get away with just a website? You may need a girl on the end of a phone.

4. I think some kind of common validater is needed,a transfer perhaps, 'pryors accredited ineedawindowcleaner.com gold standard in window cleaning '.

5. Over all very good.

6. If this is ever proven there is always the risk that tesco,AA, etc, will come in and wipe the floor with the lot of us.

[luther1]

Slumps,why don't you mention the Gold Accreditation idea? 

[trevor perry]

it will be interesting to see if this works, i hope it does as you have obviously put a lot of thought and time into it, my only concern is the pricing,in your area customers are obviously willing to pay them prices but if you do go national i think there are many parts of the country where your pricing will be too expensive but we will wait and see Good luck Lee

[Lee Pryor]

All good point there guys.

I can tell you that I come from a marketing and sales background. Thanks to that I have been very carfull to look into the stats of the radio side of things, the adds sound great, the customers are out there, the companies are in place and waiting for my calls, the next 3 or 4 stages of the site have been designed and just require the money to be spent. I have a small business investor on board to take it to a national level if I can prove it works on a local scale.

I have focused very closly on the numbers and prices and so on. To start with I want to keep it simple, local, and affordable to everyone. As with most things in business it will evolve.

There will be multiple price menus based on averages in each postcode area, the customer will enter their postcode to see the menu for where they live. And yes they do pay that here as this is the system I use in my own business.
