It's all about your marketing skills....................
Amazing ad copy secrets http://tinyurl.com/7zwnb
How to write KILLER headlines http://tinyurl.com/cuvc6 Get in your Van and stop at restaurants after the lunch rush, around 3pm and if they have dirty carpet, present yourself and give them a "DEMO", right now.
Clean a 2'x2' section at the entrance area which usually is the dirtiest.
BANG!!!! They see how clean you clean and they ask for an estimate.
You will get many jobs this way........ I do......
Goodluck........

I don't know what it's like in other people's areas, but in California we aren't supposed to use "sanitizer" on carpet. Sanitizer is a specific type of agent, as is "disinfectant," and they aren't cleared for our type of use. Not that I've ever heard of this being enforced, but we use deodorizers, odor neutralizers, and odorizers, so that's the verbiage I stick with. Eventually, you may run into a chemist or a "clean chemical" freak, and you'll have to do some explaining. Almost ten years ago while I was with Chem-Dry, we sometimes referred to our deodorizer (we used Consume at the time) as an anti-microbial. Got a nice earful from customer/professional chemist one day about how any cleaning agent should act as an anti-microbial, how unremarkable it is to have a special additive that gets rid of microbes. Whoops. Well, none of us techs back then had any special training or knowledge. It was just monkey-see-monkey-do.

BNI is working fairly well for me. Don't expect to get tons of job
referrals immediately. People within the group will want to get to know
you a bit and may choose to test your ability on small jobs of their
own before they refer you to friends and biz associates outside the
group. But if you do good work and show integrity it will lead to both
new customers and valuable contacts.
So far I"ve pulled about 3000 in actual billings from the BNI chapter I joined in March. But a direct result was meeting the owner of a residential furniture store {my cards are now on his counter}, a director of 18 Real Local Residential Real Estate Agents {each has my coupons in their new customer pack}, a carpet and tile store owner [gives out my card and a coupon with his monthly invoices}, and another janitorial co who also sends my coupons with monthly invoices. I expect these 'contacts' will probably produce more in the long run, but it will be slower to come in. Another benefit was an introduction to the the VP at a commercial office with 11000 square feet. The intro was very warm because of the BNI, so the main concern was when can I start and how often do I recommend they clean, rather than price. BNI does not work well for all business types but I think it has pretty good potential for our business so long as you give it sufficient time to work. |
