I have been known to price up the odd commercial contract in my time, and I always tell the customer that we are not the cheapest but we will give them a great service.
Always works well for me I usually get 50% of what I look at

haha i cant stop laughing at the 'what race are you' post.  its feels a bit like if youre on a date with some one and its going really badly, and youre just desperately plucking questions out the air to fill the silence

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!
Takings off all first cleans till march 7th 2014
October  total=  cleaned  extra per month
November = cleaned extra per month
Total £  so far.

to help improve other window cleaners and me when quoting for commercial window cleaning

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.  ;)
