Commercial carpet cleaning bids strategies

[Bernd]

Just ask them.

I ask, "Would you like me to email you a reminder in (1,2 3,6 or 12)  months time, depending on each situation.

I have 4, 6 & 12 weekly accounts, as well as 3, 6 & 12 monthly accounts, and others in between.

Each is based on it's merits as to size of premises, quality, traffic & what they can afford as well as how they like their property to be displayed.

Those that don't care to much about the appearance of the carpet, I don't particularly worry about.

Those that want their carpet to look good all the time are the ones that I focus on.

If you don't ask, you never know.

I also ask if they'd like their upholstery cleaned as well. a VERY GOOD add-on.

I do not discount my rates due to the times they want cleaning.

We should all know what it costs to run our own business, I'm not going to reduce my price to make someone happy, & lose money on the deal.

Many times these people will use you once, be full of promises, then get someone cheaper next time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. You gave me some good food for thought.
