I personally never intend to beat anyones price, and especially don't
advertise that I will beat their price. That appeals to a customer that price shops . 90 % of my customers never ask price.

Customers are not dumb, to tell them that you are giving them the extra 60 cents that it cost per postcard is not going to gain you any points.

Once a clientele is established I am with Kennie on his earlier advise.
work with the customer base you have on reminding them, and try to provide them with an extra money making service while you are there
if they are interested. Not Bait and Switch but to let them know that you also clean upholstery or that you clean cement floors in the garage etc. etc.

I USE THE SOFTWARE I DEVELOPED ( www.castlebrooksoftware.com) to send postcard reminders on a pre planned schedule. It is the best way to work with existing customers. They in turn will be your cheerleaders and
I do not find a need at this stage in business to give away my profits to a price shopper. Each to his or her own!   

I also send out Thank you cards that I get from www.violand.com, made especially for carpet cleaners and add 10.00 off business cards for referral purposes. A referred customer doesn't always ask price as they want you , not the other guy.

Good post danmarck! I  agree that you establish the type of clientel you advertise too. Giving away products or service puts you with the majority. Seperate yourself from them and sell that! Be different, do not sell yourself short. Established customers do not ask the price! Big smile

This is all fine and good if you have a house list of 20 thousand customers.  I barely have 2000 customers...need to keep building my list.
 
The larger your lists gets....the easier it will be to keep and maintain profits.
 
50 calls a week isn't an unreasonable goal for 2 trucks it should be a norm.
 
 
There is over 1 million households in my reachable service area...trying to reach and maintain 20 thousand isn't unreasonable either.

I agree with what you say Steamer if you want that type of customer. I recently had hardwood and marble installed in my house. Price was not an issue with me. The best installer was. I did not ask the price before the job started. Was just happy to have a professional do a great job! Big smile

I am glad I am not in the city. The consumer must think it is a silent auction. Just be patient next week someone will give us a lower bid for our cleaning. When cleaners compete the client always wins. They don't need to call for prices they come in the mail?

Nightrider; I do not claim to be a marketing guru or expert for that matter, however I did operate a business that made money with very little advertising. Not to say I didn't try different methods. Some worked others didn't. My point is that if you advertise to a price shopper then that's the type of customer you have. They will simply move on to the next best deal. I built my business from hard work and mostly referals. People respected me and my work. For that they paid a fair price and received excellent quality and service. Why does this industry continue to sell itself short. If you are a professional then you should be compensated for it.  Big smile

Nightrider; Yes for the most part we are price shoppers. Except for me and many others like me when it comes to having work done in the home. When I want something done I research who I want to do it. That is enough for me. I do not ask price. I want quality not quantity. I may not represent the majority however my family, friends, and former customers all did business that way. There is a market!

If you have allowed people to dictate the price you charge, Ya from your world " All " people are price shoppers. But from my world and from many cleaners who have taken a slow solid growth approach the customers we have are loyal for the most part. (you lose one once in a while) and their friends are good solid leads, they may ask roughly how much this is going to run, So that they are not shocked but they usually always book the cleaning and never mention price again.

Steamer, A person should be able to make a "Very Nice " living off of 2000 customers, you are underselling yourself and not weeding out the
bottom end. I solved some of this in my business over 10 years ago or so by giving myself a yearly raise ( Price increase) I had gone 15 years or so with almost no " Raises" .

Give yourself a raise and never look back... IMO The clientele improves automatically as you raise your rates.

Each person has their own ideas and that is what makes this a great place.

" But we are all price shoppers, The Rich, The not so Rich, & The Poor." ( Nightrider)

I HAVE FOUND A NICE GROUP OF REFERRAL BUSINESS (and it is not all my business) that they do not really price shop. They have been referred and if I am good enough for so and so I am good enough for them. and if john Smith thinks I'm the best that's good enough for them . No questions asked . I have tried to build my business on those customers and not the ones that I have to promise 15% below the lowest price to get the business.

(Night Rider )" People don't dictate what prices should be charged......THE MARKET DOES. "

This is not 100% true. Many carpet cleaners allow the customers to beat them up on price.( to dictate ) Even though the average market is at say .22 some cleaners allow the customer to make them feel that they are not worthy of that price. That Joe Blow cleaning will do it for X number of dollars etc. allowing that to happen is letting the people dictate.

I just tell them that we do not price match, that we have been in the business for 25 years and that we know what we are doing. and that
If they wish to go with the lower price they risk the chance that the other cleaner will not be cleaning to our standards.... it is totally up to you mam
what type of cleaning you are willing to pay for.

What time of the week is best for you, mam? Oh , Tuesday or Thursday , OK I have a 9:30 Tuesday Morning will that work for you ?

etc. etc. If they are not referred sometimes the only thing they know how to ask is what do you charge?

Last Tuesday my fuel pump went out on the van . I called two companies, the first one hesitated and seemed to be making up his price on the fly. I didn't trust him. So I went with the other.

At 1 AM he drops my van off at the car dealer and I ask if he can give us
( Myself and my tech) a ride home. He says ya sure and added 50.00 to the bill. less than 1 mile for me and my tech lived 1/2 mile from his shop.

I know he has got to run a business but it's the kickem when their down attitude I didn't like I would gladly pay if he had had a few people skills and made me feel like I was getting something for my money other than a screwing.

The bill was 200.00 towing and over 835.00 for the fuel pump.

So no 15% discounts this week!!!!!!!

GM, came with lifetime on the pump, but the catch is the labor isn't covered just the pump and the labor is a major part of the bill because my silencer is in the way of the gas tank which is were they hide the fuel pump now days.

You get your vehicle back and you feel like you have gained nothing for your $1000.00. It stinks but life goes on.

We need to keep those prices for carpet cleaning up. " and not be afraid to charge " .

you only go up a hill for a few seconds...but if your leaving your van on an incline for 2 hours running at 2000 rpm you will cause damage if the fuel pump has to over work...

Absolutely HORRIBLE idea! Why in the world would you put this on the flyer:

"We will beat any written quote by 15%"

Why, oh why, would you do that.

Some of you need to learn a thing or two about marketing. Really. You are going to kill yourselves. Do you think that low of yourself and your service.

If you are one of those....good luck.

You would be much better off doing the same but saying "Add 15% to the highest price you have been quoted in writing....and that is what we will clean your carpets for. Give us a call and find out why quality minded people choose us."

Only dumbA$$es offer incentives such as you mentioned.

LOL! NO, it is not about low price. Bu think what you want dipsh*t.

My name is Todd J. McLean

I own a successful cleaning company and run a Genesis 59.

What else you want to know. I don't give out penis size because I don't want guys to be jealous of me.

So don't ask for that one.

You must LOVE doing a lot of jobs and wearing your employees, yourself, and your equipment out.

I prefer to do LESS work, make more money. But do it as you like. LOL.

Dude, you might just be the dumbest person I have ever seen on a BB. YOu really think the average client can do as good of a job as you can? Well, in your case that is probably true. My dog could probably outclean you by PISSING on the carpet.

I don't have a client that could come close to delivering the quality we deliver.

But think as you wish. You are the type that I completely kick ass on in my area.

DevilDog

P.S.- Now I realize that there are people like Mikey P. and Greenie who try to make this carpet cleaning thing seem like rocket science....it is not even close...but there is a bit more to cleaning than you get.

Hey gal, you keep on selling those .99 hamburgers while I'll give my clients the best burgers in the world and see them pay handsomely to get them. Whatever lifts your skirt little girl.

Jack, Todd always livens up the posting wherever goes. He used to get people pissed off at him on the ICS board and John Guerkinks board as well, just like I did, so he can't be all bad, eh? Being a former marine, gives him the kind of atitude that will piss a few off by the way he talks, but I think he is an OK guy once you get to know him abit.

Todd, Jack really is a smart guy that knows lots more than most of the guys you will talk to on the boards. You really should give him a little more respect. I consider him one of the smarter people I know, and I know thousands on the boards.I know you guys would probably like each other if you quit the Macho stuff.Jack certainly could teach you alot, as he has helped me.

He is a HACK. The typical lowballer that most of us HATE. And you KNOW it.

Nothing macho about this. He is a HACK. Pure and simple. A guy that knows a lot KNOWS you don't do good in this business by GUARANTEEING you will underbid ANY WRITTEN QUOTE by 15%.

I don't like the guy...and  never will. The only reason I got on this board is to do some research into a piece of equipment I am looking to buy.

The only thing I see is thousands of BASH Ken Harris threads. Trust me, I doubt this board will be a regular thing for me.

Just trying to get some info..

By the way...we know that Ken has issues with integrity...which is too bad because he is actually one of the smartest guys to EVER frequent any cleaning BB.

His knowledge is so far above and beyond a guy like Mikey P. and Greenie is is amazing.

Ken, clean up your act.

I could care less who likes me and who doesn't . It is funny that many guys say I am not liked, but EVERYDAY my email box has guys trying to get me back on the boards!! In fact a year ago I had two board operators BEG me basically to come back. LOL. Ya, I am hated.

I get regular emails from some of the leading experts in the industry....and I am not talking about wannabees like Mikey P. or the American guy that thinks he is KING of glides. I am talking about real experts. Guys that do NOT have an agenda.

I hold nothing back. When I got into this business I was sold a line of crap a mile  long. I learned the tough way that the BB's are full of shills and salesmen.

I am neither. I have been around the block a time or two. I know what works and what doesn't.

One area I agree with NR about is that fact that cleaning is not that difficult. It is not rocket science. It is funny to see some of the CRAP that is said on these BB's. Once you figure out how the money flows and who is connected to who....you will soon see what is really going on.

And do you think for a second having a guy on the hotseat is going to do you much good!!! LMAO!

I mean, really, how many times can you yap about glides, kunkle valves, cfm, psi, and stuff like that? Many of these so called experts don't know anything more than you or I, they just try to get you to believe that.

And many people on these boards are either selling or helping their buddies sell. Pure and simple.

You hear guys talk about if you buy something less expensive it means it is of less quality and doesn't work as well. Are you fricking kidding me!!!

Look at the glide deal. Many, and one company in particular, want you to believe that glides are worth $200 a pop. Ya, sure they are a good product...but other glides far far far less work just as well and in some cases BETTER.  But they don't want to hear that!! Hmmm. Wonder why. Maybe because it hurts their sales.

Yep. I think that could be it.

So you can love me ( I hope  not), hate me, or just don't give a damn. But you will get my HONEST opinion EVERY single time. Period. That is my only agenda.

I have much respect for a number of guys in this industry....guys like Ed Valentine. Larry Cobb and a couple of others.

The rest...they will try to convince you that you need  a Whoretex to be a good cleaner or that you need a 27 step cleaning process to deliver great results.

Ahhh, no you don't.

Then there are guys here that think offering 15% LOWER than the lowest written quote a clients gets is good marketing. Are you f'ing kidding me.

And as far as Ken Harris. I truly hate to see the crap  he takes...but it looks like much of it is deserved and that is sad. Because Ken Harris is an extremely bright guy. Very very smart. I can't tell you why he is having the issues he has. My dealings with Ken have been outstanding. And that is the truth.

 Ken Harris is almost directly responsible for most of us knowing about glides. He is the one that really got the glide issues going. Then another guys comes along and tries to take credit for it...but the only thing this guy did was improve the manufacturing process and apparently offer better service, which is important.

But Ken Harris knows his stuff. Ken you need to get your fricken act together. Really you do. Because as far as some of the so called experts....you have them beat by a mile in brain power and knowledge. But that is not the only thing it takes to make it.

Ok, now I am done. Take your shots at me. Not one person on this earth can hold up to people attacking them as well as I can....so don't even waste your time.

If you have a question on something...I will try to help you when I am here (which will not be often). If I can't answer the question I will put you in the right direction to find someone that can.

You will get ONLY the real straight stuff from me. None of the other ass kissing  you see on Mikeysboard, ICS, or even CCSOP. Cleanfax doesn't count....do they!? LOL.

My first bit of advice is to look into ALL of the glides. Price them out. Try them. You might be real surprised at the results...and you might be happy you saved a nice little chunk of change.

Also, get some bigger hose from the truckmount to the door. You will be happy you did.

P.S.- And by the way...I am on EVERY BB EVERY single day that I choose to be on them. Apparently these gals think they can get rid of me by using NORMAL standards. But normal standards have  NEVER stopped me. LOL. I just don't care to be on more than once or twice a week anymore. My cleaning business and restaurant keep me pretty busy. The CRAP I see on a couple of the boards is AMAZING. These guys just like to get in a circle jerk and have their fun.

LOL! Yep. That is a certified ToddFACT!!!!!

I said a lot for people that can comprehend something.

Of course when you only cater to slow people, people that have NO education, and NO money...I can see where it might be hard to understand that giving a client a quote for 15% LESS than the next lowest quote is a good idea.

I am off....and for those that know me...I will be getting off also. Don't be a hater.

Do you want pics? Well, I can't do that because some of you will surely see that you are lacking in the lady area also.

Maybe I will talk at YOU on Monday.

Till then, get the vaseline out and enjoy yourselves.

He is for real. I helped him decide to buy a Genesis machine back in 2002. He will tell you that was the best move he ever did.
