I just picked this out of another thread by and thought it might be helpful here.
It's on how to contact commercial properties
If I dont know what type of building I am calling I would say the following " Would it be possible to speak to somebody with regards to window cleaning at the premises" Care/Nursing/Rest or Retirement homes, ask for the manager. Pubs/Clubs and Inns, ask for the owner or manager. Schools etc, you would have to start again with the first line, as its either the bursar or the premises manager. (Schools tend to be the easiest to get into) If you can avoid it, don't get into a conversation with the person that answers the phone, its not their decision with regards to service suppliers for the company/business - aim is to get straight through to the decision maker, without having to explain too much, so paramount is getting passed the gatekeeper. Quite often, the person who answers the phone takes it upon themselves to make the decision for the whole company, sounds a bit harsh but you must speak with the person who is in charge of what you are ringing about, thats key. If their not available call back when they are rather than having the person who answers the phone say no. I have written an article on this I have posted it before, but I will attach again, if of any use to anybody
