5 Canvassing Tips To Grow Your Window Cleaning Business // Partridge Exterior Cleaning

[@stephentyrrell5951]

I have been cleaning windows for nearly 34 years and vouch for the fact that this is very valuable information. I have only recently realised the value of trying to speak to every house in an area. The more times that you need to go back, in order to catch the elusive residents in, the more likely they are to not have a window cleaner when you finally get to speak to them (because they are always out!). Speak to everyone and you will find the customers that other window cleaners miss. Also, the more doors that you knock on, the sooner you will find an area where a window cleaner has given up. The answer to almost all window cleaning problems is ....Knock on more doors!

I think people appreciate raw, real content like this. Just a guy with real experience sharing his advice for free. Not some overproduced video that spends half its run time trying to sell us on a course! Thanks man!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thanks for all the thumbs up on this video, when I made this I didn't think it would be so popular so will definitely be back soon with a more in depth one going over some strategies on how to close a sale efficiently and some other helpful tips to keep growing.

[@kevinhoskins8415]

Hey Sid, I have been watching a lot of your videos and they are great, I started my window cleaning business in December last year, The canvassing is the hard bit!! but after watching this video I have been trying to go out everyday and i have been picking up 1 to 2 customers each day, however today I've picked up 8 new customers and 3 of them are full cleans (gutters, facias, windows and conservatory) proper buzzing lol, so thanks very much for sharing your experience!

[@JogaBonitoCFTV]

Great video, we've been going for 2 years in November and I've found when approaching potential customers confidence is 99% of closing a deal

[@isabellerininger6249]

Brilliant video! 🎉

[@PBurgess81]

This is great time and something that I'll definitely have a go at. Cheers for taking the time to do this one. Would definitely be interested to hear the other million tips you have up your sleeve. Keep it coming. Cheers

[@mrtjones5466]

Great advice thanks I’m just starting out Window Cleaning bought a small commercial Business start next month should be exciting never done it before. But hey you only live once. Can’t lose with the stuff that I use 😊

[@pawelpasek]

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thanks pawel, I’ll be offering a mini course soon so stay tuned if you’re interested :)

[@pawelpasek]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning sounds like a thing from your movie. The movie from 4th may @ 8:03 :D

[@rainydaygirl57]

Excellent idea to post the hints after your video. A lot of people glean info by reading it. Reinforcing what you said with the written list will really help reinforce what you were talking about.

[@vinnysinclair3718]

When I knock doors I seem to get a very good response with basically just asking them would they like a quote for the window cleaning. I just say hi sorry to bother you I clean windows all around this way and I was just wondering if you'd like a quote aswell. People seem to like that. Respectful but still straight to the point

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah I agree, use that sometimes myself and works great too 👍

[@ched999uk]

Great tips. Always good to learn from someone with experience. More tips are very welcome. Cheers

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thanks Ched, will make a follow up soon but if theres anything specific you need advice on you can message me on the links in the description. Cheers mate.

[@ched999uk]

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@Powershiftcleaning haha :D nah i always just run round quickly when I have time and say I've just finished clearing the gutter on your neighbours house, I've noticed there's quite a few ones in need of doing on this street, do you want me to check yours? Thats an in then just get the ladders or vac on it and show them if its full or not. (:

[@renttorentwithbenandcraig7474]

Great video!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers Craig!

[@craigalanwilson]

Good advice pal

[@jonathanhart6005]

I was a double glazing canvasser for my sins..team of 8. I was too salesman most of the time!! Because they wore suits I wore smart casual . Then went into window cleaning, everything you said is correct, wear your belt and step back alittle . Have ID ! Non pushy ! Tip for all..I always say sorry to bother you when they are not interested..sometimes they call you back especially when you get next door. Great videos 😁

[@jonathanhart6005]

Top salesman not too

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah man too right! It pays off hanging around salesman all day because you end up learning exactly how not to act!

[@jacksonohno]

Have id?

[@CraigWelshBoxer]

Great tips. Any chance of a part 2 mate?

[@wesleykeys7663]

Hey mate love the videos can you do a video of your set up for soft washing roof etc many thanks keep up good work

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers mate! I do mention it in a lot of my vids but I’ll do a dedicated video on it soon. Cheers again 👍👍

[@TradMan]

Good advice 👍🏻

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers buddy. These older vids must be hitting the recommended again 👍

[@TradMan]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning 😉

[@Powershiftcleaning]

Good advice. Would you knock on the next door to the house your cleaning gutters on and tell them the state of there gutters.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Always mate👍

[@sirBrouwer]

And offer a packets deal to do both gutter and windows. (face it you are on that ladder anyway) If they think that they get a bit of the price with a 2 for 1 deal. (the only thing lower is the fact that you don't have to drive there twice)

[@pvgreaser]

Good video thx

[@Premier1ExClean]

What do you do about the houses that have No Soliciting signs on them? Do you continue to knock or do you just pass them by? I usually just keep walking.

[@bencavanagh5425]

This video is so good and helpful. Please do carry on with other vids.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers mate stay tuned there will be some more coming soon 💪💪

[@GeorgeFrancis-l9v]

Hi Sid! I was wondering whether you’ve ever done canvassing just for gutter clearing? I would imagine you’d get less work than if canvassing for window cleaning? Just trying to work out how many jobs I can aim for/expect to get on a whole day canvassing, thanks 😊

[@paulcampbell6316]

Hi sid, hope you're back up and running after your recent a collision. When conversing do you ignor no conversing signs or miss those houses out ? Kind regards Paul.

[@benaxon9721]

But if most houses already have a window cleaner how do you compete (other than lowering price). Let’s be honest most houses are already covered by another window cleaners patch. Any advice?

[@roberthilson6327]

Also a great thing to do is go out and practice your canvassing in an area that you are not really interested in, especially the hardest one's, and you will be amazed how quickly you pick it up. It's all about confidence. And because your not bothered about the practice doors, it will remove all the pressure. 😅

[@agaricsun]

A friend does very well with a clipboard leaflets and getting call backs. Not sure how you have managed

Quality Advice !

Thank you :D x

[@MH-fj1mp]

I have wanted to start a window cleaning company for a little while. Is this possible without the experience of window cleaning myself? If so how would you recommend finding someone who would take the work on as you build the round? Any help would be really appreciated. I am really excited to get started.

[@ibringtherain7669]

Have u started?

[@iniboulboul6302]

[@christopherellul4812]

Great advice.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thank you Christopher really appreciate the comment 👍

[@adrianxxxx36]

Cleaning business is not simply at all and a lot people will be disappointed about their revenue but I wish everyone good luck.

[@ibringtherain7669]

If it’s a side hustle to compliment main income I don’t think it’s too bad mate.

[@PCLpropertymanagement]

I always wear my boba with tools in it although not working Looks more professional

[@PCLpropertymanagement]

I think pitch is overrated I am a Londoner and speak like that I just normally say “alright mate/sweetheart/love etc do you need a window cleaner?” Does the job for me rather than having a big script

Door knocking is finished, never knocked a door for work in my life ,Most have stickers on their doors advising against door to door sales, that's what the internet is for, save knocking doors, i do have people approach me while I'm working , to ask for a card , most just take the details off the van

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

It’s the best way for newcomers mate, not really needed if you’re already established. It’s also cost effective if money’s tight when starting up and you can’t afford to advertise 👍
