This is the best marketing advice I have ever heard - spend money, spend 10x more than you thought! It's scary to think of spending it but hope it pays off if you do it well. Great uploads man, REAL advice from a real working business person.
This is one of the best TH-cam channels for people starting out in window cleaning. I watched all your videos (the original ones you had up that are not available no more) before I started mine up. My business is established now as started 4 years ago and took so much advice from you back then. Glad you’re back as it’s always genuine and real advice.
I started off thinking I couldn’t afford not to answer the phone or reply to text enquiries with the mindset of losing the possibility of mega ££ over the course of the year…… Truth is you can! I’ve never door knocked, I’m of the mindset that if someone needs something they make first contact.. one size doesn’t fit all but word of mouth is the best advertising hands down.
Totally agree Dan about building up slowly and by word of mouth, even then you will get to the point where you can't keep saying yes. That sort of money sounds crazy! I know what you mean about the phone ringing, felt like throwing the phone out of the van window one day. What ever we do it is a juggling act.
I'm absolutely glued to stuff like this. I can't keep up with the organic growth now but struggling to find the balls and pull the trigger and get someone out with me. Really stuck with how to go about it so you sharing your tips and mistakes is so good cheers
Great advice dan,to be honest just what i needed to hear. It isn't broken so i wont try and fix it. I have plenty for myself and zero complaints. Thank you 👍
Leaflets usually get chucked in the bin the best way to gain work is face contact with some business cards I’ve got over 300 customers and now I’m sacking off the bad payers
Had my card ready and , nah lol Nice insight, its deffo not as easy as ppl think, having done a few leaflet drops the % of return is way way less than you think/hope, it can be quite disheartening, but like you did you just gotta crack on and spend!!!
Great videos Dan your dead right we all I love to be busy, but when that phone is ringing off the hook & your playing catch up every evening by god it can be hard to a point where your head would blow off! It takes a special kind of person to hack it! Keep up the good work 👍 love your content even from the start 👌
When you talk about flyers, did you use royal mail, or deliver them yourself? If you used royal mail, what was the costs per drop, and what kind of return did you see, as far as enquiries? 30k sounds a lot to me 😳. I think I have taken on around 80 customers this year organically, through our website, google business page, branding, the odd flyers.
How much would you say you got back in revenue from that 30 grand? If you have a rough idea? Branding means nothing. There’s terrible, scam companies that have had the best logos and branding theme, and really good companies that have super basic branding and no logo

Word of mouth is deffo the best!

So true!
No messing about brutally honest. I liked the big sell joke at the beginning £500 to lean the secret . them people are out there 😂😂
Hahaha always someone trying to sell you a course isn’t there😆

Great advice Dan ,I’m exactly the same it took me 4 years to get well established. Speculate to accumulate some risks are needed to require gains
Thanks Tim 👍
Looking forward to the next video of not taking on all customers!

Oh almost had ya 😆 when a marketing campaign doesn’t go to plan it can cost a lot of money and time!
Great videos Dan your dead right we all I love to be busy, but when that phone is ringing off the hook & your playing catch up every evening by god it can be hard to a point where your head would blow off! It takes a special kind of person to hack it!
Keep up the good work 👍 love your content even from the start 👌

I started off by door knocking and it's much better you do the houses you want effectively and work in Areas you want too if successful
Nice one Dan.

My word, would you like the shirt off my back also😆 only joking… not sure how much it cost for the leaflets.

Really hard to say because of the mess I was in in that year (staff etc). I will try and figure out roughly how much it would have been.
Can I please DM you and find out a little more of your FREE advice….
Of course, send me all your money and we can talk😆
