am going to go for commercial jobs my own way.

[harunh]

am not going for anything big. Just business premises of sole traders so thats takeaways, conveniance stores,hairdressers etc, just phone them and ask about window cleaning on the premises. I think this would work.

Phoning never works as well as meeting someone in person,...

You'll find that most businesses already have a cleaner, and most get the windows done VERY cheap already, so it might not be the best type of work to target. Personally, I always send out letters to new businesses opening near me, and I've gotten a few well paying jobs out of it. I'm lucky though as all the other window cleaners near me are uninsured, and the businesses always want a copy of my policy -- since I know I've no compe***ion, I can push up the price a bit. /emoticons/tongue.png

In my experience that can be a waste of time, getting in there first as soon as you see a shop opening will get you better results, just keep your eye out for them.

I done a bit if research on this in my area, It seems some windys do shops for next to nothing a couple of pound just so they can get a line of shops, not for me but good luck.

I've printed a quote for one to take in tomorrow which will make 4 in same place now 7.50 every week plus same again for inside once a month just 5x 7 foot by 2 (ish). Went personally to all 4 I didn't think phoning would get the jobs.

I think that's the case what WC said a lot of them dont care, it's the last thing on there mind if there windows are clean they are happy whoever does them.
