Hi, my name is............I am with ......................we are a janitorial company in y9our area, and we have been doing business here for over.........years. We would like the opportunity to talk with you about becoming your service.

Do you presently use a janitorial service? Are you interested in a competitive proposal to perform our service? There is no charge to sit down for a bit and do a walk through and present a quote for out service.

Is next Tuesday at 2 pm good for you?

(Did you take a look at the site I posted Apple?)

Stringer

Yes, and I've actually read one of stephan schiffman's books about sales too. Thank you. Ok then it seems I'll just have to give all of this a try first to see how it goes.

Are you using a separate browswer or another tab, please?

Another tab

[Clough]

Okay, good!

What's the name of your business, please?

[applecs]

Apple Cleaning Service

[Clough]

That's great that the name of your business begins with the letter "A"! You'll be more likely to be found sooner on certain search engines that operate alphbetically.

Also, when listing in the Yellow Pages of the phone book, your business should be first or near the beginning of the listings.

Now, what specific types of things are you willing to do for people, please?

Please list as much as you can.

Thanks!

Well our company just does commercial janitorial work. Within that there's different things like cleaning windows, sweeping, vacuuming, moping, cleaning bathrooms, dusting, floor care, carpet care, emptying trash and recycle bins. I'm sure there's more but I can't recall anymore at the moment

Okay, that's good!

Now, what are the possible locations where you'll be wanting to do the work, please?

I'm asking about the State, cities, towns and counties.

Thanks!

It would just be in the northern virginia and southern Maryland area. Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties, and the independent cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Manassas, and Manassas Park for virginia. Rockville, silver sping, potomac, bethesda, gaithersburg for Maryland.

[Clough]

Thank you for posting that!

Now, I'm going to check out what kind of competitioin that you will have online.

I'm sure that you get the idea. You put in as many things that you can do as well as where you can do them.

[Clough]

Do you get it, as far as how to post an ad, applecs?

If you work at it, and study ads that I've posted, you'll wind up on the first pages in searches.

[applecs]

How do I look up the ads you posted?

[Clough]

I'm going to find the links now.

It will take me a few minutes...

[applecs]

So I should put everything you wrote in the descriptions box except the title right?

[Clough]

Links...

Link One

Link Two

Link Three

Link Four

Those aren't all. But, at least it's a start. Most of what you'll find for a number of pages will be about what I can do.

Thanks!

[Clough]

so i should put everything you wrote in the descriptions box except the title right?

You can put the title in the box also. But, I would suggest varying it.

For instance, it's important to use words that are variances on words when advertising on the Internet. Ing, er, plural and also singular for descriptive words. Different search engines will pick things up in different ways.

Cleaner, Cleaning, Cleaners are three different types of words that you could use at the same time in ads.
