Leaving Free Estimate Message on Answering Machine

[KleanerDude]

I am cold calling and leaving messages about our free estimate and holiday
specials on people's answering machines - anybody else doing this and maybe
you could tell me what kind of callback reaction you are getting. Thanks.
I am calling in Riverside County area of southern California. Anybody with
suggestions or ideas, let me know. I am going to continue call, regardless,
would just like all kinds of feedback about this type of solicitation. Thanks.

John residential or commercial?

What has the response been like so far?

 

[dealtimeman]

Hopefully commercial.

On residential it will work for those that have been needing to schedule a cleaner and haven't yet for any reason, but I bet you are actually drumming up work for other cleaners by doing this.

You are calling leaving a message about carpet cleaning, that triggers a reminder that they need to call their regular cleaner.

The special would have to be very compelling in order for me to call and schedule.

I want to know also, are you calling residential or commercial? Are these calls to past customers? Crazy to be randomly calling non-past customer residential.
