Window Cleaning Business is see a boom! WHY?
Window Cleaning Business is see a boom! WHY?
I wish I could say it is because people have read my guides and received the right type of training to have a successful business. No, that is not it at all. What is going on is a common occurrence when ever there is a bad economy. People grab a squeegee and just start knocking on doors looking for any type of work. It is out of need of work, need of a job and not wanting to have a real business. What ends up happening is they under bit the work… The thing hey when I was working I was making 10 to 15.00 an hour can they clean at that price. They become overjoyed if they hit $20.00 per hour.
That is how I got into the business some 20 years ago, to took many years before I learned how to price the work right. I know how hard it is to need money and when you need work and money and you have a customer will to give you some… It’s hard to lose that job because you don’t meet his price.
What i have done sometime so that I just don’t give the job away for next to nothing or lose it, I tell them regular price… What they sheeeeeek at itI say, but “this is what I can do… If I do it this time at $XXX amount then I want you to guarantee that you will use my service ( week/bi-weekly/monthly etc..)…”. Lock them in as a regualar customer. That takes the sting on the loss of money and you tell them to reffer people to you.
