Hi all, i am not a carpet cleaner at all, never cleaned a carpet in my life!

But i have a window cleaning business and i am wondering how to go about maybe generating work for a local carpet cleaning business from my customers. What do you think would be a fair cut for me and the carpet cleaner?

I look forward to your responses

Hi. I can cover this for you - 10% is the norm.

Oh cool thanks for answering - i thought nobody was going to help me out 

[hank jr]

Would Paying for leads be better? i mean on 10% i could easily be ripped off if i give the lead out to a cleaner and he / she goes and cleans all carpets in house and tells me they only cleaned 1 carpet in small room....

im not trying to be greedy, just fair....

[davep]

I do this for dry cleaners and it's a trust thing. Not worth messing about as it could lead to loss of future work.

What part of Wirral are you talking as I'm just over in liverpool.

[hank jr]

im aiming at covering all of wirral. im sure i can generate work with my established customers as i am on good terms with most of them. Im just implementing plans for early next year....

[davep]

[hank jr]

Hank there your custys so you could easily find out if you were being ripped off then get rid quickly if you was in my area around the fylde i would snap your hand off it's a win win situation allround.

good call Phil. Maybe it would be in your interest to get in touch with your local window cleaners? after all, us window cleaners do develop a kind of friendship over the years and often they take my recommendations on painters, roofers, gardeners....as i see them every 3- 4 weeks all year round, year after year. offer them 10 - 15% and see what happens....

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

I think i will mate i'd happily give 20% per recommendation it's worth it's weight in gold

Have you been drinking again?

 

[Len Gribble]

Billy he has defiantly a smaller one than you   I’ve see it and played around with it

Like has been said its a trust thing and if someone takes the pee they will lose out in the long run for being too greedy, but they just can't help it.
