Re: Guys who do 6 and 12 weekly cleans.

This one was discussed before and like Mick I just couldn't believe that people could be that stupid, for example a 6 weekly
£20 clean would cost £160 a year but a 12 weekly clean at 50% more would cost £120, so a £40 saving for half the cleans.
Remember these guys are also cleaning in well to do areas ( the £50 or more an hour mob ) so £40 wouldn't be a lot of cash to
their customers and certainly not worth dropping half their cleans to save.
I think the conclusion was that their customers where either pin heads or dirty brutes. lol.

the trick sean is to offer the longer frequency from the off AT THE HIGHER PRICE.this works on large domestics and if your already busy enough workwise is a good way to boost your hourly rate without having to work much harder.

customers very rarely want a longer frequency if their already with you on an agreed frequency IME.if they do the price goes up.simple.take it or leave it. :)

price higher/work harder!

Exactly Dazmond, like I already stated as long as you have no competition offering better then the customer will have to buy
what they can buy, but these guys offer more than one frequency and would you take the second ? lol.
Don't get me wrong I know there will be exceptions like large mansions where there is the potential to save thousands and the
majority of the windows will never be looked through.

I've found if you are inflexible with frequency of cleans then you can easily loose quality premium rated work.  I simple offer the service that the client wants at the time and price the job up accordingly.  Again that goes for any services I offer .
