Doug,
Im very suprised you preferred calling on commercials rather that domestic door knocking, I absolutely hate walking into reception, it as if they know exactly what your after. Then you meet the guy responsible for maintenance, mouth almost immediately goes dry and hands start to sweat and begin to shake. :-[ But for some unknown reason the nerves tend to make me think and speak extremely effectively, weird ???

When you see the receptionist never say that you would like to see the person responsible for cleaning,maintinence, Hygiene etc, the receptionist or the decision maker will say they are too busy, they always do!! Try this... 8) "Hi there, I have come to do a quote for carpet cleaning, who do I need to see" she will then call the confused decision maker to reception,  just explain to them that you sorry to give the impression you were booked in to give a quote, you were just offering.
So there you go, you now have the main person responsible for maintenance right at your feet, and whats best, he knows exactly what your there for!!. 8) 8) 8)
RESULT!!!!

Don,

We all have a laugh and a joke, and sometimes we all go a bit too far.

How refreshing it is to see some sensible and informative posts from you.  :)

Ooh, Must go, Bath is overflowing!!

Don,

The reason I preferred commercial was that I felt like a salesman when I called and afterall all companies sell , so why shouldn't they receive.

I also agree with your comment on asking for the premises manager etc , I too tried to give the impression I was calling for a prearranged quote.On the Tack international sales course I went on  , a couple of hours were dedicated to getting past the dreaded receptionist.

On door to door selling we did quite a lot in the 80's in London , but I always felt I was being a nuisance , disturbing people in there own homes.

Cheers,

Doug
