Hey there. I am trying everything and i cant seem to get any jobs. Im really in need of some help.
do you guys see anything wrong
my latest google add that resulted in one call had 18k impressions and 500 clicks
my facebook ads didnt get me any work either
I put out a ton of business cards on mailboxes and it got me a few jobs but nothing crazy
Until you establish a reputation, nothing will “come your way”…figure out what makes you different, and figure out how to communicate that to people.
We’ve had good luck with Nextdoor and Google reviews. It’s tough getting your foot in the door with everyone using search engines and various online sites. Back in the day you could just pay $$$ for a big Yellow Pages ad but that’s long gone.
Dress presentably and knock door to door with business cards in your hand. Be polite, smile, look them in the eye and quickly explain what you can do for them. Don’t insist, when they say no, and most will, smile and thank them for their time. You only need a fraction of them to say yes. Be positive and perseverant.
Also in my experience if you focus the conversation on price you won’t get the best customers and you’re shooting yourself in the foot. If you do this it puts them in the wrong mindset. Focus the conversation on the quality of your service (obviously make sure you offer great quality) and how much their property will look great when you’re done washing it professionally.
This is what i did starting out in 2015 and most of these customers are still with us today.
One more tip: once you set a price, be firm and don’t change it. If someone can get you to bring it down once they will always try to take advantage of you. Staying firm will show you are confident in your service and this helps build trust.
So true! I’ve had guys want to haggle (often it’s just a cultural thing, don’t take it personally either)or tell me “that’s only worth $xxx”. When my reps are like “what should I do?”, I call the guy and thank him for his feedback on the value of our service, but our price is based on the costs we incur to run quality equipment and the costs to provide a good wage to guys who will do a quality job (and we’re not sorry for making a few bucks in the meantime…)." Every time I can recall they booked the job at the full price, and referred people after (usually even declining the rewards we offered them for sending us the work). People will respect it, when positioned properly.
