I'm actually thinking of canvassing an interior window cleaning round
Hi andy i do this already, All depends on which way you want to go with it.
(1) do it as an add on when customer at home or arrange to do it when they are in
(2) sell it as the same way as you do for your normal window cleaning if they are in or not
(1)I felt was a pane ok to do if they were in, but hard to arrange a day to suit both you and the customer
(2) Is what i do, firstly got to get the trust of the customer this should not be to hard if you have been doing there windows for some time although when you tell them it will be on a keyholder basis some are reluctant understandable
Can take a bit of time to get up and running but as you say ideal for rainy days
Ok how i try to run things is if it is going to rain mon/tue i will do them then, just as you would do your exteranls on dry days
it works the same way as your externals 4/8/12 weekly well this is how i do it my aim was to get 640 internals a month 40 for each of us 20 a day for 2 days a week could do more but you are not as quick as doing externals as you will be moving things of window sills so customers will remove them for you if they know you are coming next day some forget
I normally text them to let them know if i will be round next day, gives them a chance to clear things away
i dont collect on the internals when i text them to let them know i will be round they leave the money at an agreed place inside the house
price wise they are all different depends if you have to move things about to get to windows as some have beds close to windows and some with blinds and curtains
oh and there are the ones with the dog dont forget they are there not be the first time i have walked into a house and almost lost my hand customer forgot to lock it in a room
it is a good earner as i find a lot of women hate doing windows even more so if they are at work all week
now is the time for new customers as a lot want them done for easter and you get the xmas rush as well andy it can be good as soon as you build up that trust with your existing customers they will recommend you to others.
I have my sister doing some for me customers seem to be more relaxed with a women in the house when they are not in it just runs the same way as domestic cleaners would do
Remember though as it is key holding you will need keyholders insurance because you will have a lot of keys
Good thing for me is i myself are not far away from working 5 days a week for 48 weeks of the year it is a hard push but it is the trust thing that makes it harder to build than an external round customers will have a laugh and a joke with you but to hand you the keys to their house when they are not in is a lot of trust,
i got myself an enhanced disclosure to give me i hope a better chance to get new customers as with most of this type of work you would need one if you were to work for an employer legal requirement these days
