free customer reminder system
« on: October 10, 2013, 09:28:20 pm »
i currently do this manually, im just looking for some way of doing this in which i get a reminder when customers are due to be cleaned.....

ideas appreciated thanks......

something free which i dont have to sign up too, is there some way of doing this on a spreadsheet myself which will re occur every  or  wks depending on frequency of clean

i dont need credit collection thing included just literally a reminder every 4 or 6 weeks that i cud include customers on ,

thanks in advance

Hi,

I do following

Text Reminder of 'I will be coming to clean your windows on (Date)' and then Text 'Job Done, I will be collecting Tonight or Text back with a better date'

Plus I email anyone who left me there email address which was simple and free and that is using MailChimp and which sends out List A every 3 weeks, List B every 4 weeks and List C every week.

Yes,  So

For Example

Mrs Smith gets her windows cleaned Once a Month.   You then say Remind Once a Month.
You can even go further
Mrs Smith will get her windows cleaned once a month but on a 2nd Tuesday of the month.

I use it and I find it much better and again I am like you,  I don't earn mega money to use George or John or whatever his name is and even if I did earn Mega money I rather Keep it or Spend it on Equipment.

I have bought an a2 sketch pad. Divided it into 5 days along and 4 weeks down. Put all my schedule on that. Then update the next months one as I go. I find seeing the work planned in front of you much easier then say looking through a diary or app etc as I can see whole month at once plus previous and next month if I have those written out to. Takes about 15mins to set up originally and then a few minutes each week to update.

No problem,  Its that type of expertise that you need as I don't come from a Window Cleaning background.

But I worked for a Business Consultant company which basically aim to Improve Service to customers & Improve a business process and for you.   I just help you Streamline your business and take stress out of it!  Such as I know many companies go to Call Answering Services to take there calls.
