word of mouth ask your friends to ask their bosses..

but just walk in looking decent and ask to be introduced to the boss or manager...

make sure you have a idea of what you want to charge and be ready to sell yourself..

its not a perfect game but you get better the more you do it.. like life...

Maybe start with shop fronts and build a reputation from their??

Ask to speak to the manager, When I grow a set I plan on doing this lol

 

[koopmaster]

LOL I have asked everyone at work, one guy lives close but doesnt want his windows cleaned.

My personal favourite! Different businesses will have different "doors" to get work through. Find a particular building you want to work with and call reception to ask how you could give them a quote for cleaning.

Or ask to speak to the purchasing manager!!!!

That can work, but only if that goes to the right person, if your free in an evening or when it's raining then why not

That's illegal. It's unsolicited mail and you can easily get prosecuted for it. Happens everyday.

what makes that different to all the leaflets they send through our door lol

There's no difference really. When you receive junk mail in the post, this is normally because you've opted in to receive it, or simply just haven't unticked or ticked a box somewhere. Unsolicited mail is the same whether its electronic or through the post, if you don't want to receive them anymore then you just need to opt out.
