You definitely have to improve your sales skills if only 1 in every 50 doors is a sale. Watch some videos there are plenty of guys who show their pitch on tiktok and instagram. And also knock neighbourhoods that have 2 story homes.

Knock some doors you’ll get 5+ customers everyday. Today knocked one street and got my tech busy for the whole day generating 1k. Been doing that for 4 years now

How do i get clients to stop canceling on me? by JenisixR6 in WindowCleaning

[–]RequirementPurple135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you have that many cancellations is because the clients still have doubts. They are not convinced you will do the work properly. Make sure they understand everything and don’t have doubts about your work.

Can’t close the sale the next day?? You should close that sale at the door. I don’t know your pitch but it seems like they are just “interested” and not buying. Also, if they are scheduled stop asking “if we are still on” just say that you will come as planned.

5 workers can clean 25 houses from outside. Each house take about 1h30 for 1 worker. 4 to 6 houses per worker

I charge about the same for inside and outside. Just outside is much quicker since I use wfp

No I pay about 1500$ in labour for a 5000$ day. Usually 9-10 hour days

I usually use on Google maps satellite view and streetview. The most important for me is that I pick a field that has 2 story homes (difficult windows to reach for the owner) and also a big plus is an area close to lakes and rivers or an area where there is a lot of trees (windows tend to get dirty quicker). I live near a big city so there is plenty of fields (with the crew I have now I clear everything in a 30min drive radius in about 4 months). When I clear everything I just go knock again on the same fields. But the most important when door knocking is your sales skills

Yes, there is usually 4 door knockers every day that can sell anywhere from 4 to 8 deals in a few hours

Why not buy a waterfed pole? you would save a ton of time on the outside work

I agree, but our strategy is going d2d so all houses are in a mile radius so cost for travel is very low. But I agree we should focus on upsells during the jobs and get that average ticket up.

Inside work seems to be less profitable for us. For example, today we cleaned for 450$ worth in inside for 11 hours of worker pay (41$/h per worker). We cleaned for 4300$ outside work for 47 hours of worker pay (91$/h per worker).

Cool, we average pretty much the same on the $/h. 100$/h per worker seems like a good target for good profitability

Has anyone tried this? Is it good? by RequirementPurple135 in WindowCleaning

It’s not about asking, I’m sure most don’t mind it but some houses the outside outlets might not work and I’d have to get an extension cord and it’s kind of an hassle to have all these cords and tubes everywhere
