I have picked up Nine letting agents in 2 and a half years in the same area by perceverance. The best investment i ever made was a spiral binding machine for more commercial use, rather than the diy ones. I make my booklet around 4 - 6 pages with a seperate topic on each page. Another good early purchase was a programme called serif drawplus. For a cheap programme it produces stunning graphics. This incidentally can be downloaded free of charge off the net. It's an earlier version but is still as good.
My pages are front cover
page 2, Introduction to our business
page 3, What equipment we have, i.e truck mount. Explain that it does not need power in property to do work as
a lot of properties have token meters and lost keys.
Page 4, Other services performed.
Page 5, Who you have worked for.
Page 6, Contact number sheet.
The latest letting agent that we have started doing work for has recently seen a national property letting company start to use their agency, and they alone own over a 100 properties. Coupled with the other rental properties that they have comes to over 200 properties, so the letting agents are quite lucrative.
With this particular agency we offer to do the domestic cleaning as well to provide a single package. This is something that we always did for the private landlords anyway, so in this day and age you have to diversify.
Sometimes they will already have a cleaner they pay by the hour, but you never know. I have recently been approached by a large building firm that i have done carpet cleaning for, with a view to doing builders cleaning. I have never carruied out this type of work before, i.e dust removal but am sure the machine can cope.
