Just in case they say it is required to submit for all three properties?

Yes, since you were not able to discuss this with them. Usually they want you too bid all listed areas. It is to their advantage as they deem that they should get better pricing with all three bldgs... 'volume dictates pricing.'

If you do not bid it, you may not be considered at all... and will be eliminated from the process.

I know that the bldg is in a bad area... but you should be able to do it... it is only one or two days per week after all, not 7 days/week.

Same thing for the window cleaning?

I would say this: 'Carpet cleaning is available.' ' Window cleaning is available'. That's all. You can farm out this service and the windows also. Get a price from a carpet cleaning company and mark it up 15 -20%. If she presses you on a price NOW... tell her $ .18 sq ft. That is competitively a little high, if she questions it tell her that is a 'ballpark figure---wall to wall cleaning. Then get a price from a professional. His price may be high (that is why I quoted higher to cover you) because there really isn't a lot of carpet involved. Again, volume dictates price.

I hope not to hear tomorrow that i lost to stringer on the bids.... hehe

That my friend could be taken as an insult, by now I would have guessed that you would have seen me as not that kind of person.

Trust me, I do not go after small jobs.

Again, I suggest that you remove any pertinent customer information and put it on here... please. We covered this Clean... unless it contains personal or vital customer info it should be put on here... please.

Yep. 'Carpet cleaning, Hard floor refinishing and window cleaning are available upon request.'

You want to be all and everything to your client, it gives you more work and profit and do you really want a carpet guy that you don't know in there and he does cleaning also... get it?

No, that is 'classified', that you need to email me, but any correspondence pretending to it should be on here.

I am trying to help you with information that you would usually gain after much pain and possible financial loss. So that you would not have to 'pay this price.' I would never back stab anyone intentionally, that is a truism. Without integrity, one would definitely eventually fail in business, in my humble opinion.

Now that is not to say that some networking isn't possible. You are not large enough and probably not have or be able to secure the financing necessary to do a large job/s. (I am assuming here) However, you are able to take on small and medium sized jobs. We occasionally come across smaller jobs that we do not take, nor do we look for them anymore.. but we do sometimes have people call us. You may hear of or know of a job that is larger (starting at about 25,000 sq ft up wards to over 500,000 sq ft), I would appreciate you letting me know. AND if it became a contract, I would give you a one time 10% commission of the first month's payment, that could be as high as $1,500.00 or more...

Show it under the heading of that building as a sub title... (In bold) 'two suites... numbered 1234 and 5678... ' then list the specs for those two offices.

Cleaningman23 · Jun 14, 2009, 07:20 PM

Determine your invoicing methods, example; net 30 days

You must remember... always be professional, always type, never pencil in something. If you and the prospect make changes in pen or pencil, then take it and retype it for her.
