Do you make any money from these type of deals??
« on: October 02, 2012, 04:07:53 pm »
Genuinely interested to know if this works??
From what I've heard, you have to give upto 50% away? Or am I wrong?
 Over 200 already sold - either way! that's still a heck of alot of filthy one offs for a fiver a pop  methinks ? :)
Can't imagine many will stay regular when the price goes up

You're right after commission it will probably be more like £2.50 a pop. Take away fuel for all that travelling and there ain't much left - rather them than me.

That's what I'm thinking - this a crazy deal surely ? I absolutely hate doing new cleans - so to potentially be doing a fair few of them for a couple of quid each is madness
I genuinely hope this guy/company holds on to a decent percentage of these, and at better prices!  :)
I also hope that householders who already have a regular cleaner don't  see this deal and jump ship just because of the well cheap price

You would have to be mad or desperate to offer a deal like that.

 I think it just attracts the bargin hunter types, those that would only want a one off.
I would spend my time leafleting not cleaning for 1970 or national rates  :D

£5 to clean you house windows including frames regardless of how big your house is?? :o :o

absolute madness!even if its an average 3 bed semi which normally takes say 15 mins WFP(30 mins if a first clean).itll be a stand alone as well.if you get the gutter clearing you might be able to just about get them done in say 30 mins so £40 an hour doesnt seem that bad but then you need to pack up and drive to your next job?

surely most will be one offs.i suppose if your desperate for work and you manage to get the gutter clearing at £35 as well as window clean then you could fill your day up if you get a few in the same area? ??? ???

its not for me though!i dont do gutter clearing anymore!! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

I'd love to know the retention of customers %
But even so, potentially cleaning 2/300 houses for a couple of quid each - I'm out  :)
