Always works well for me I usually get 50% of what I look at

Post by: windiewasher on March 09, 2013, 12:12:00 am: When quoting i tell them how much and how often and payment within 28 days!
I also say i will do them now as that way they don't get anymore quotes and you get a instant decision!

what good questions are there ask and how to ask them

The most important question when walking into the building:
"I'd like to offer your company a quote for cleaning - Who is the person I should be talking to about it?" - - - so many people loose out simply because they don't talk directly to the person that makes the decisions.

The 2nd most important question is "Who do I send the invoice to?". NOT "WHERE do I send the invoice?", ALWAYS get a name - a real person to deal with,.. it makes sorting out any issues much easier. ;)
