Give them the choice?
« on: January 22, 2009, 12:50:41 pm »
Been delivering leaflets everyday since xmas. When i get a call should i tell them i come and clean your windows every 4 weeks or give them the option of 4 or 6 weekly cleans?
Thinking 6 weekly cleans means i need loads more custies to fill my round plus evrey third week i will have double the amount to do.
What do you guys do as i'm confused ???

i always tell a new customer if they want a 4wkly clean it will be, eg:- £10 or if they want it 8 wkly it will be £12. that way you can intergrate the 4 and 8 wklys together , and i dont offer 6wkly anymore.

4 and 8 weekly for me...most are 8 weekly...I have to admit I would hate it 4 weekly for the majority..it would bore me to tears to be honest...

Cheers

i quote them £x ? on a 4 weekly basis , if they ask for less frequent , then i offer an 8 weekly service , usually at the same price , i dont advertise 8 wkly though , most of my round is 4 wkly .

I do exactly the same I never mention 8 weekly unless they ask.

If you have a 4 weekly round stick to that, I'm often asked for 6 weekly but those ones are offered  8 weekly otherwise you end up in a street with only one job to do.

I do whatever they want - the time to choose is when your round is built up.

most of the windows i do are still gleaming after 4 weeks seems pointless cleaning them and i think theyll end up begrudging paying monthly in the end i tend to take people on on a 8 weekly yet sometimes there still really clean even then.thats with wfp.

yeah i go along with that too..

However it depends on the size and amount of windows, its its a large place, they pay more, so i'm more likely to offer it how they want it.
