Hi guys,
My name is Ben. I'm 21 (and 3/4) and I've joined the magical world of window cleaning! This forum attracted me as I have seen a few people on here who have websites I've looked at in the past in order to get ideas - learn from the best eh!
I'm located in Stoke-on-Trent and I'm starting up my own window cleaning business. Only thing is, it's not that straight forward. I've got hurdles to leap and any help will be greatly appreciated /emoticons/smile.png
The situation is this. I'm getting married in April and need to build up a minimum of £1200 of business in order to just live. I've got it up to the £300 mark in 2 months, I'm currently in talks with some big companies for commercial work and already have a big mobile retailer on my list of customers.
I couldn't afford to buy a van so I've adapted. I have a Vauxhall Corsa (new shape) with a Pure Water Trolley system (Water Genie) and this set up works fantastic! I'm pretty healthy and strong and don't find the work draining physically but I'm after tips to help me expand and become successful. Some questions I have are:
1) What do you find the best/most effective way of building your customer base?
2) How quick did it take you to get to the £1200 mark?
3) Commercial, Domestic or both?
4) Anybody with commercial customers, how did you achieve them?
5) Any other helpful information? /emoticons/smile.png
Thanks in advance guys and see you around /emoticons/smile.png
