hi all what is the best way to canvess to get schools etc there are a lot of schools i drive past that look like they have not seen a w/c on years yet when i go and ask to speak to the head the receptionist takes my number and i never get a call back any ideas?

Think you have to register with your local council

ive always found that when i pick a school up, it might be up to 2 years before they have it done again,
they always have really tight budgets to work in.

I have managed to pick up some schools by first being the reliable w/c of the caretker

I have picked up my first school last week, cleaning next week.
being an ex pupil i popped in and had a natter with the caretaker about 12 months ago.   
about 3 weeks ago got a call from him asking to pop up with all insurance details as my quote had been excepted.  12 months!!!  thats alot of umm ing and aah ing

anyway start the clean on tuesday, when all the little kiddie winks are on half term,

[Tosh]

I've been asked to quote for two schools and both only wanted cleaning once per term (so four times per year).

I never got either jobs, I'm sure they just go for the cheapest quote from the window cleaner they think is capable of doing the job.

I wouldn't quote for another school.

[ronnie paton]

most i do are twice a year but they do have a tight buget and its not a priorty so they may say "leave it this time" senario

[TVCS]

this school wants a once yearly clean.  I had to adjust my quote accordingly. 

[wightsurf]

I got in contact with anything i want to clean, and it works for me

[Chris Cottrell]

I dont think they all just go for the cheapest quote, I have a high school to do next week and when I was called to go see them they asked me not to waste time giving a price , just asked me to start and see how  far I get within the purchase order they gave me, adding that if I used it all up on the first visit to remember that there would be no more till april next year when the new budget is set
