Franky yes, Im going to try and do this but I will need involvement from people - and if I manage to pull it off Ill give the money to your charity - I have somebody in mind who might support this - just need 12 cracking window cleaners now (like the French rugby team)

well the story so far

after a rocky start between me and mr whizzer and a lot of banner from side to side heres where we stand todate

a meeting with mr whizzer as been and gone , my husband was very happy with the way mr whizzer looked and the way he looked on the window cleaning industry  :o

after spending the night in mr whizzers company my husband left feeling that it was the right move for us to employ him and his services bearing in mind the trouble we had with our last company northing to do with mr whizzer at all

 , mails have been going back and forth sorting bits out so there just 4 weeks left until he arrives with us and a second date as been pencilled in for him to return if all goes well the first time putting my money where my mouth is

I may even get to meet mark myself soon so all in all I am more them happy so far to

hes been northing but true to his word and not one bad thing so far so if your still thinking of using him just four more weeks and ill tell you what and how we all got on

realy looking forward to it now the pink van is about ready to hit the road he he

well billy turned up bang on time and in the last few weeks he kepted us totally updated on his dates ect ect

hes been out for two days so far for us but I havnt got any results so far as I want to wait until hes done to give my judgement

but so far  heres what ive made of his service ,
 
he turns up on time
 looks smart ,
 doesn't swear or makes a fool of himself when out getting work for you ,
 works with you to get the best for you and him
as some good idears to help you move forward if you need it
gives you 100% of his time when your paying for it
one customer rang me to changed a job he got us and said "the nice lad that came to the door" 

that's all for now and is what ive found working with him ,

Thanks for the update Susan, its been good pulled 65 jobs so far and Ive got the first 2 jobs being done tomorrow 1 in the morning for £100 and the second one in the afternoon for £79 (£179 in total) the rest being started Tuesday after all the customers have got over the initial excitement of being knocked.

What's the total of the 65 jobs Whizzy?
And how much has that cost Susan(if you/she doesn't mind saying)?

I just cannot understand how anyone actually enjoys canvassing (or telesales). It's a mystery to me.

I can do both if I have to but enjoying it? No way.

I take my hat off to you both.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

£716 in total on the 65 bookings so we are just over half way on my standard £1200 deal so currently £11.01 average order value 70% are front only bookings, so if you set up all backs on next visit you can look to improve the figures by about 30%.



How do you price a job Whizzy?
I get in estate work it'd be easy cause they're all easy houses but say a one off architect designed stone built house with a tiled roof extension and a glass conservatory.
How much extra for the roof?
How much for windows monthly? 2 monthly?
Do you take a punt on pricing high? Or get an (almost) guaranteed sale going in low?

I like canvassing when its going well, but Ive had nights were Ive got in and put my head in my hands and just thought why oh why do this.

Pricing wise £1 a hole ish or £6 minimum front, with roofs I ask my self how long is it going to take ? 2 hours thats £50-£60 try and get £25-£30 an hour on those, if accessibility is hard maybe a bit more. Gutters £3 a meter for a clear £5 a meter clean and clear but I give them the option and advise them on best solution. I would never just say its £5 a meter to customers because it sounds more expensive that way.

I just say look Im going to give you 2 choices just a clear thats £20 ( lets say ) and if you want the fascias and soffits cleaned too thats £35. What do you want ?.

Thats how I do it

seen some numbers tonight and they look quite nice and on the up side its easy work and in the same streets I am very happy 

also had two extra  jobs book us after he knocked on the door and handed them  our details they said no at the door as they needed to speak to the wife guess she give them the go ahead  ;D

while on the phone I asked if our employee was ok and if they found him good to deal with both give him the thumbs up  :'( shame would of been nice to call him names but I cant so far  ;D

husband said hes good to deal with and emails and txs updates everyday keeping him updated every night , billy even double checked the work we did at the weekend , making sure we did a good job and the customer was happy  :o

You get ring ins months after Ive left and I push for recommendations like crazy. The biggest street so far has 16 bookings in it theres another with 12 and 10. Unfortunately Im looking to be gone by Tuesday  ;) I was hoping to be done by today. Thats the way it goes sometimes.
