Do the show houses for free in return for them putting your business card in the pack of info they give to each new home owner. I tried to break into a new estate a few years ago and the guy already there was doing this. I couldn't get a foot hold in there and I don't usually have a problem with that.

[KLEENAWAY]

What im saying EWC is that the interest rates will have already gone up by the time the houses are up and i knock on to see if they want a wc so rather than them cancelling they will just tell me that they dont want one  ! Ye that sounds like a good idea david, thanks alot pal!

18 months average for a 300 house estate to be built mate up here anyway,i hope im being overly pessimistic regarding how tight purse strings are going to be for ppl with mortgages as i dont want anymore cancellations myself,its just what ive been reading in news about rising energy prices to come and rising interest rates plus ive had a few recently who have cancelled and when i enquire as to if its the service their unhappy with they tell me no its just things are a bit tight,just saying how i see things i hope im wrong.

No i know exactly what u mean buddy, scary stuff aint it!

Speaking from experience best time to clean on new build sites is sat or sun.As you will generally find nobody in monday to friday before 6pm.Worked for me. Also you say your trad so you may find
site manager won`t let you on site as ladders unless fixed are banned on building sites.There are ways around this though such as cleaning after 12.30 pm on sat or sun as building sites are then closed.

Hi Danny
Is it the estate near the school?

I would get some business cards and get them in the office and put some on display in the showhome. I did it a few years ago on an estate where my mates mum worked and i did fantastic. I nearly had all of the work on the site and as new customers moved in i would say because of building work should i book you in for 6 months time when the building dust wont dirty your windows right after ive cleaned them and that soon took care of competition

Danny

[Danny Guest]

Alright gents, i need some advice please. Their is a new housing estate being built near some work iv got and i want to get on there but the show homes are only just being built. Any advice on the best approach and who i would need to talk too/pay to have a decent chance of getting on there  Oh and im trad if that makes any difference, thanks in advance.

Danny

As for the actual site once the homes are built and ready to be sold/occupied the homes wont be under site managers control as the homes are signed off and released. The only section of the building site open to the site managers control is the construction site where public access is prohibited.

Just go on there and canvass

Good Luck

I started on a new estate 2.5 years back and I was not the first but am now the most popular.Out of 300 odd houses I current do 86 houses.I next best does 21. I had a well planned strategy to achieve this result. I dropped leaflets every month so they new who I was, regardless. Every month I made a different leaflet to suit were I felt I was in my marketing plan.I would go every Saturday and blanket leaflet the area. the area I regularly drove in that area so people would see me .I took every opportunity to chat to people if they were outside. Even if they were just got out of there car. I would do first cleans on Saturdays and chatted to the neighbour when I was cleaning over the fence.I watched other windys clean and did more for my money. When I chatted with custies there I would find out what these fellows were charging and see if my general pricing was better.My idea was if I get them on I could up the price in a year. I did not in anyway have a price war just a more value pricing.All I wanted was to dominate in this area. At this time referrals are coming in unmotivated.I have made a point of getting to know this patch very well. As I said its worked.I am at this point working to dominate my next area.

[KLEENAWAY]

Quite inspirational that comment wizkid  ! I just hope i can get a foot in asap

Private house has nothing to do with site agent, not his concern.
