Don't say that. All you are doing is just stretching the truth. I do it myself. I catch the biggest fish, the most fish and just happen to leave my camera at home. I am also all about "catch and release", so I can't prove it when I get back the dock either!
And, I only date the best looking women in Tampa! Tons of them in fact! But I am unable to prove it, because they are all married
This summer has been very slow, with lots of rain. Rain is bad, customers get impatient, go shopping, and some hack or roof cleaning butcher will beat your price everytime.
But what is weird is this, most of the new customers we are getting have no idea who we are, or what we represent. They have never even seen our website. They are being sent to us from past customers, or fellow exterior cleaners who do not do roofs!
I have to spend a lot of time with them to explain why we are better, or they go shopping, and then the roof cleaning becomes a matter of price only.
Its so up and down, one week I got 6. The next week I have 0. Anyone have recommendations for repeat work? Am I an idiot for not offering gutter clean outs?
Not the most glamerous job but we've been scheduling them for October, trying to set up at least 5 a day which makes for a profitable day. Not only does it break up the monoteny of the roof cleaning/pressure washing, but there are residual benefits as well. When we do a great job on their gutters and leave them with a trifold that has our other services listed, who do you think they'll call next Spring when they want their siding washed before Mother's Day? We also push for annual maintence contracts, which gives us even more of an opportunity for an upsell.
Honestly I have more than doubled my sales from last year. We will be close to the 175k mark by the second week of december. By far this is the best yr ever.
All bullshittin aside, I've been so busy for the past three months that I can't come up fOr air. Finally tOok a little vacation up to north Carolina, which has literally been my first day off since july4! And nOw I'm up here and can't relax due to employee concerns and bullchit that's taking place back home. It's aggravating as hell!

There is some. But it's not high.
What we are doing is putting those gutter cleans wit roof or house washings in that neighborhoood. To make an 8 hour day.

That is a great idea! Especially if your having other guys do the work.
On a gutter cleaning I sold today she had a dirty roof. Told her how she could get a free gutter cleaning wink, wink! she passed but I gave her one of our flyers, so now she knows about her roof!
