When Canvassing What's The Best Offer To Attract Customers?

[instrength]

Looks like we are all going out or about to go out and canvass talking to prospective new clients, what works for you?

• What's the best patter you use?
  
• First clean free?
  
• Free gutter cleaning if you sign up to so many cleans per year?
  

Personally I ask a existing customer if anyone local might need me, if they say yes I go round to the neighbour and say XXXX thought you might need a window cleaner etc would you like a free quote?

10% off first clean but i just add the 10% on the quote. i find if a house is say a 10 quid house i go in with 15 and they say ohhh thats more than i thought it would be, then i say ok as its you ill do 10% off or ill take it down to 12 but dont tell anyone. i used this a bit but only on ppl who call me. i never got any work from knocking doors :wacko:

 

[OoO]

How much does your window cleaner charge?

£20

I will do it for £12!

Simples.

I found " hi do you need a cleaner for your windows"

And exaggerate cleaner a bit, that way it dins down the word windows, otherwise they don't listen proper n think your selling glazing.

Or "hi, need a glass cleaner"

 

[harunh]

knock on doors and say to them hi their wud u like me to lick ya windows ?

 

[OoO]

That's a no no round here.

I did say it was a joke /emoticons/wink.png

Customers who want u to undercut are the bad customers..... What if sum1 undercuts u ? They will go with them , i know most of my customers wudnt go with another cleaner even if he was cheaper which is gud this is the type of customers u want mate not customers who want it 50p cheaper

 

[JDMW]

theres a saying i tell my customers. you pay for what you get. buy a cheapo pair of shoes they wont last long, get a decent paid they will last you months if not years. same with window cleaning, pay peanuts get monkies :lol: /emoticons/tongue.png

I go round to the neighbour and say XXXX thought you might need a window cleaner

Nearly split my sides, reminds of a customer that called me back because the windows didnt look clean, I offered to buy her nets, proper had their day.

Do you live in the bronx or soemthing? That **** doesnt happen about here. Nearly every window cleaners up to something dodgy up here. No one wants to draw attention to them self here.
