Good idea Simon, ask and it will be told.

So this thread is a bit of fun really as it seems a few would like to ask genuine questions and I am happy to help them.

Few things first though.

I will not be answering ANY questions from

This is because I believe any question from you is actually designed to stir a problem rather than actually help you or others in any way. Im sure one of you will say something on here..... I wont be responding in any way. You clearly don't want advice from me anyway so why bother. I urge anyone talking on this thread to just ignor any and all negative people/posts, just don't respond to them, lets see if it can be done. Negativity will not help you develop your business, only a positive mindset and focus will, I am a strong believer in this.

For others, If I don't answer your question it doesn't mean I cant I just might not want to or I may answer it in up coming youtube videos I am planning.

Hi Lee

Do you feel that having a fixed price list gets you a better response from flyers than the typical call us for a quote type flyer?

Thanks,

Robert

Do your guys have a set number of hours to work a day? Or a list of jobs to do?

I ask because I have a theory that if you have set hours, they'll work slower.

A good question Robert and there will be a video on this as theres lots to consider on this point.


Short answer is I dont think it makes the" response" any better or worse. I did this as we cover such a big area it got harder and harder for me to go see every house.

As with lots of things I do they may not be the best option for a single operator. For a smaller business I think it better to see every house and get the price spot on every time. For us it can be hit and miss with prices but being bigger alows us to absorb the difference if that makes sense.

They only have a set start time and that varies according to where we are working. That time is 7am earliest and 8am latest to have left the yard by. After that its a jobs list, They are only allowed to return to the yard before 4pm if the list is finished.

How do you source your workers (on the glass) and  do they have any part in collecting payment from customers?

What methods do you use to get new enquiries?

Now now Dry clean, you know why you are banned, just can't believe I am😭😭😭

I always use the website Indeed for both cleaners and office staff.

It works on a pay per click basis, the more look at and click on your add the more your charged. I find it costs about £300 on average each time in order to get enough CV in. I might get 20 for this much then I whittle them down based on location and job history. I might then have 5 I would call and do a quick phone interview, current situation, notice period ect. This leaves me with maybe 2/3 I will invite for a face to face interview.

I don't know what his is but mine was £2500 last year all in. I expect it may be a bit more this year. I use a chartered firm where several people there do the different aspects of my business such as VAT, PAYE end of year ect.

I strongly recommend them

They are Charles and co Reigate Ask for Tracey Sales who is one of the partners.

That's what I want to know.

They assured me that it won't be anything like last year's this time...it better not be  I said because I'll be asking you for a fixed price this time and will be looking at other quotes.

Might give yours a call Lee actually. Mine is Barnbrook Sinclair. You have been warned..

Hi Lee,
You seem to have a great business model and have achieved good growth.
However, your on line reviews are quite poor.
What are you doing to address this

If you had to start from scratch, what would be the top things you would change about getting to where you are now?

[Spotfree]

Lee,

What do you think of the franchise model? And why do you choose to employ instead?

Thanks

My question is: When you attended the ‘forum posting for dummys’ course recently, what were your opinions of Solar Steve and why is he your main inspiration when it comes to developing your online persona?
