George

Although some work is occasionally offered on this site, you are more likely to find help in marketting than offers of work'

Most of the contributors on forums have their own standards and credibility to worry about, so would only be prepared to pass on work to someone who worked to a similar standard and used a similar system.

I notice you spreading yourself around a variety of cleaning tasks and this could give clients the impression that you're a ' jack of all trades 'etc.

Why don't you consider a marketing course and concentrate on one particular area of the industry. This will give you greater confidence when pricing and marketing your business.


good luck

Morning George

You might be surprised that although I'm around 90 miles from Dumfries I have done a couple of jobs there and frequently have travelled 25 -30 miles to work on c/c.

I live in a small village but have become well known around Glasgow and the surrounding towns, over a period of time.

It's partly through marketing effort, but mostly through referrals.
