Weather changes.....phones go silent!!!

[curt johnson]

A week ago the temp here was over 100 degrees and all we could see was sun. 2 days ago the temp dropped to the 60's and we've had thunder showers, lightning storms, tornado warnings, hail, and rain. For the past 2 days I've been calling my own biz line to make sure it still works!!!!!!

I hate times like this!!!!

It's just the opposite here. I was having a good year until school went back in. Phones stopped ringing. Phones started ringing again with the weather change.

whats up? how are you currently getting new customers? I know your pain friend! Do you have any high end hotels in your market? I am up to 7 upscale hotels now and even when residential is slow the payments we recieve on a regular basis are incredible. If I shut down residential altogether we would still gross over $100k. We are getting an average of .23 per sqft. although we do have 3 packsges we offer. some we clean weekly for about $1500 cleans and 2 we do 10 day projects cleaning the whole place: carpet and uph. these 2 are $ 18,000 dollar jobs. pay cash for truckmounts vehicles ect.. Id be glad to share some tips! pm me when you get a chance. Bill

[Jim Martin]

Time to diversify.

What else can you do with your talents?

Jim I was thinking of you this morning (not in a Brian and Harper way) as I was cleaning in shorts and the temp was 56 out side

56 must of been great......I was doing a 2 story house with a broken A/C ....seemed like 120 in that house doing that twisted stair case.... and I bet I lost 5 gallons of water just sweating......

I can only imagine how much more comfortable it would be to be crazy busy at 60 vs 100 plus.

Never have been able to figure out why the phone rings, or not.

Like yesterday..

No calls all day long.

Then in a 1 hour time frame I booked 4 jobs. Then dead again.

I'd love to be swamped now as I'm taking Nov 24th Dec 19th off then Dec 24th till Jan 3rd

What is classified as a "high end" hotel?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

They don't rent by the week.
