[steve_64]

Excuse the innocence but how do you really know how much your clients make?

I don't know how much I make.

 

[ruff]

Upon going through their garage, I was once asked by the client if my price is going to reflect the Mercedes and Lamborghini parked in their garage.

I vehemently denied

Come on Ofer...

Surely even you are familiar with the concept of debt and being financially over extended.

The "vocabulary" thingie, however, though patently wrong, is mentally a keeper. Hope after all, springs eternal

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'm just cleaning dirt out of their carpet. Rich people, po people, as long as they pay, I remove the dirt.

Who I clean for doesn't make me any better of a person, I still just remove their dirt.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

And they all got dirt!! And if I can’t suck it out, i’ll Rub it out or spray it out

 

[SamIam]

I think in areas of greater population building and building while continuing to raise your rates will eventually get you there!

And I also think being personable helps!

I mean seriously can you imagine Mike showing up to your house?

Lady Killer charm he calls it?

 

[Doug Cox]

I actually prefer a clean customer over a wealthy one any day.

 

[steve_64]

I actually prefer a clean customer over a wealthy one any day.

Cept I charge more the dirtier it is.

 

[Acp]

Most make a lot more than me. I would say on average the household total income is over $400k/year and plenty are way beyond that.

we do work in cookie cutter neighborhoods sometimes where homes are around $500-600k, boeing employees, lower level microsoft etc.

 

[steve_64]

I'd say I'm well above the median.

 

[Jimmy L]

I've exposed my client base far too many times on here. Just today I had to severely discourage a carpet cleaner who arrived at one of my many mobile home parks. He was going door to door pushing his truck force portable. I yelled out...........GET THE FOOK OUT OF HERE DIPSHIT OR I WILL COME AT YOU LIKE A SPIDER MONKEY!

About 5% of the population in Reno and sparks are making more than 200k per year. Since population combined is over 500k and projected to grow to 1.2 million within ten years.. I also allowed to work in my county in any of the unincorporated towns including Tahoe area. So population is definitely a lot more

So about 25k to 60k people that I can market to right now if I present myself correctly as Mikey says..

That's my average customer's monthly income


Some of you are being a bit obtuse


If your customers walk in closet is filled with $75,000 worth of clothes, the garage has $200,000 worth of cars, they live in 5,000 plus sq ft , have a beach home , winter home , boat, and the finest of furnishings, I'll grant you they have some debt...

But the also ain't making less than $300,000 / year


For every bozo that's on the brink of bankruptcy there are 50 ballers that are flush

How the hell did you get Jimmys high school yearbook picture?

 

[Jimmy L]

RADAR I HAD A TURD TODAY THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE YOU!

 

[Desk Jockey]

RADAR I HAD A TURD TODAY THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE YOU!

You look at your turds?

I usually just cover them with grass.

 

[Jim Williams]

"I don't judge on appearances. And I don't ask."

We have old ladies here who look dirt poor, but once you get to know them you find out they have tons of rental property and a few million in the bank. My grandparents lived that way. Drove old cars, wore old clothes, heated with a woodstove. They looked broke but had plenty.

If you have a slim, white and hard turd then you should see your proctologist asap...


It's probably AIDS

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I just signed up for a neighborhood exclusive magazine today. It targets 4 neighbourhoods I do work in already. These homes are anywhere from 850k, to 10 mil. I signed an 18 month contract for 200$ a month. Will it pay off? We shall see...

 

[Nomad74]

I got a call today from a lady that was behind me in the Starbucks Drive thru. She made me mad because she interrupted my ordering of a warm cheese danish. So I made her mad when I told her my minimum is $150.

 

[FB7777]

$150 minimum?

Damn

 

[BIG WOOD]

Does thier household earn about the same as you?

Or..


More?
Much more?
Less?
Much less?

Why do you ask?

 

[Old Coastie]

The stockboy at Loews makes more than me.

But I have a better life and people trust me in their homes.

3 calls, one books.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

3 calls, one books.

I really hope you are wrong on those numbers. There’s another guy that was doing it. He’s only stopped because he said he’s blown his rotator cuff. He was in the magazine for the last 8 years. I’m thinking of buying his client list.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Why do you ask?

If you're an OO and are not targeting your marketing to the wealthiest in town, even if that means they make 40k a year, you're a dufus.

Leave the po folk to the multi truckers who send out goobers to play the numbers game..

 

[Blue Monarch]

I prefer to work for the middle of the road folks.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

which is still way better than than the lower class who only respond to discounts and to those who market deodorizing services..


dont get me wrong, I'm not talking about the uber rich, most communities only have a hand full anyhow, and their home managers certainly dont respond to coupons and facebook ads.
