Yeah, sorry my lasy reply wasn't very helpful was it  ::)

1. Hand pick 5 companies a week.
2. Find out the name of the facilities manager (or similar).
3. Write a letter addressed to the name you have just found out.
4. Wait 3 / 4 days and call them directly to ask if they had the letter and would they like a quote?

Andy
cheers for that Andy that was alot more help  :P

I've only used this method for about a month and I've picked up a very large school to clean (inside & out) in January and a couple of offices.

I think Dave St Ives was spot on. I've started picking up schools and property management companies without trying, simply by cleaning peoples properties who are connected with these places. If you have a signwritten van there are certain places around that will attract a lot of passing interest. Some of my properties I will clean at rush hour to make sure more people see me cleaning, I still have several holes to fill in my month though.
