three ROOMS and a HALL for 100 bucks

[Brian L]

Is she going to prespray before you get there?

 

[Bob Foster]

Nothing wrong with that and I would be very glad to do the same.

I quoted on the phone for a 3bd town home with stairs at $200 and got a "Well let me talk to my husband and I will get back to you" and that was after she asked about what I was cleaning with and her blah blah and my blah putting my best foot forward showing concern for her carpets being cleaned properly.

I guess I should have quoted
3bd
small hallway
stairs
living room

@150. But I would have gotten $225 - 250 for that a year ago.

Some work is better than no work. (should have quoted $150)

 

[Jay D]

had 2 dinky houses like that this week, phone quotes lost em both, too high. :|

 

[Ron Lippold]

no quotes over the phone. if they dont want to meet me they dont want it cleaned right.

 

[Jimmy L]

A guy that advertises in the thrifty nickel here has an ad that says "3 rooms or a couch $30".

I think his name is SHANE.

I invited him here to see if he will up his game and become a true professional.

:shock:

I had a "hand over referal"... a cleaner farther south that didnt want to come up, gave me this one...$210...

I called, talked to the lady a little while (she was asian and a little hard to understand) so i decided to go and do a estimate at her house.. They also had some other cleaners coming.. They ask about my method, and the difference in "chemical" cleaning, said they had issues with past cleaners leaving it sticky..

So as i tell them about yes we need chems to break the soil down, and then i rinse with WATER.......wait for it..............what my difference is.................the angle of my jets and the amount of water used to rinse their carpet. Well the husband was some sort of engineer, so this perked hsi ears and asked more about what makes me different...Jet angle, jet sizes, the whole turbulance with the glide and not shooting the water "into" the carpet..etc.

So i am walking the house, thinking oh my!!! Bad filtration soil :| then i find out they have electric heat..??? Look a little closer and its just BAD FUZZ BALLS ON THE EDGES!!!!!! So onto my Ron Werner segment..

Took my Vac (i have pics for this :shock: ) it was.
2 liv
1 din
1 master
2 bed
1 tiny office
2 sets stairs
3 tiny halls

I threw in the tiny office and halls $$$ wise $30 for this room and $25 for that room

Anyway 6 SIX!!!!! canisters filled on the vacuum....yuck

ohhh also had bought some Fels Naptha to try...not really any spots that bad...but it did fall into my pre-spray tank (old porty) so it gave a little more kick on that part of the spray..

Do what you need to, make a personal visit for est. because if no other reason...You may need to bring that damn vac!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[Jimmy L]

And I understood all that?

 

[SuperFly]

and I did ask her before I got there to vacuum the carpets and move all small furniture items off the carpet

You actually asked her.. Hackish...!!

A Professional would never ask a customer to vac and move furniture..
Move breakables off furniture but not move the furniture..
Thats your job..

 

[cory kenyon]

thats why i gave it to you dougy.

"where would you like the piano Mrs Jones"? bastards.

 

[steve frasier]

in the winter I wasn't getting many calls from my web site so I had Andrechelle put up a web special similar to that

still didn't get any calls

 

[Mr.V]

3bdrms and a hall I'd do it,,,,,still kinda slow up here until the snow goes away

I ask em to move what they can (especially breakables)

BIG DEAL!!!!

I'm there to clean,,,,,not move chit.

chances are once they see I'm a one man show they move everything next time around anyways............why not warn em ahead of time???

I like to vacuum it myself most of the time anyways though,,,,but when giving a deal..........let them do it.

 

[floorguy]

thats why i gave it to you dougy.

oh did you talk to her and was a bit worried??

I thought about giving you a little, but after 1.5 hrs to vac the place... I thought to myself


HELLLL NOO i am tired!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:


HEY JIMMY!!!!!!!



KMA!!!!!

 

[Mikey P]

I cleaned a mini van today for $150

 

[Mikey P]

You would too for $300 an hour.



But than again, I'm not so sure you could get up off the floor.

 

[Mikey P]

I always toss in the astro turf.

That way they spread my name around at the club house.

 

[Jimmy L]

[DevilDog]

Right now just be glad you are making some money and not totally having to give it away.

 

[gary mackay]
