Yes really

oh sorry i thought it was all for me this forum.

im going to push you over the edge with me next topic 

jokes aside this is an honest question, I do things a little different thats all. I guess you will too in your business, so can understand it will bore you and some people, but at the same time it will interest others.

You have the choice what to read on here, im not reporting that to the mods, but I can see them picking up on that in regards to the language you used, I dont have a problem with it, but others will. At least you answered the question for me 

So back to the original question on this topic:

Who uses a sales funnel in thier window cleaning business ?

 

[roundbuilder]

Ian what is a sales funnel?

[roundbuilder]

Just googled it.
No i dont.

[Window Washers]

Ian what is a sales funnel?

its a tool used in business to help obtain sales goals
In my English: it can help you get as much money as possible from each lead and or customer all of which can be monitored and adapted to increase conversions from prospect to paying customer

Ian what is a sales funnel?

I assumed it was when someone couldn't decide whether to go on a sailing ship or a steam ship.

Ian what is a sales funnel?

It's a fancy word for someone to use when they have exhausted all other business growth avenues & still can't naturally acquire any more!

[Steve Sed]

Window cleaning is the most simple business concept really. No more complicated than the oldest profession. Whatever the motives, some pople really like to "big up" the business acumen involved in window cleaning.

[G Griffin]

Does anyone want to enter a Lee Burbridge soundalike competition?

 
I was just going to type something similar.

Hey Guys,


Do you have an automated sales funnels in your window cleaning business ?   
or if not, do you know what they are ?

 "Please vote on the poll"


One last thing if you said no, do you think it would work, if you dont why is this ?

I'm struggling with my automated sales funnel. I'm suffering from  funnel leakage wherby  my leads are not entering the sales cycle. I am however addressing the issue, but still struggling with it. Do you have any ideas for plugging these leaks?

Top post. I have been searching for ages on google like a sad case researching what it is.
Over complicating my small mind here.

[p1w1]

how to over complicate an easy task with big words (normally an outside bod at a huge fee in my former career)

gurus, advisors, sales trainers, special advisors etc etc all full of overcomplicated hype

 

when i was a scaffolder years ago going i went for a bank loan and i was asked what i did for a job so i told them i was a high altitude tubular engineer they just stared at me blank and wrote that down on the form.

Ian, you are so 1970's.
Come on lets think and act like the American's.
I used to quote and clean windows but my funnel has taught me to look at each custard and quote power washing, uvpc cleaning, carpet cleaning, office and general cleaning (assuming they have a business) and finally grass cutting and dog walking.
All down to my funnel, your missing out mate.
So are we happy to park that now?
