Hey everyone, I just started going after business about three weeks ago, and I cannot seem to find anyone that is interested in having there properties cleaned. I have bid about thirteen or fourteen jobs and have followed up with almost everyone of them. When I call back, or stop in to talk with them, they just say that they are not interested. Here is one example, I bid 15,684 sq. ft. of flatwork at a local shopping center, and it was to be done once a month, so I bid it out at .08 per sq. ft. When I called them to follow up they told me that they gave the contract to someone else. I thought that .08 sq. ft. was a pretty reasonable price being it was a monthly account, but feel free to tell me if I was way off base with those numbers.
Plus, if anyone out there has a certain way that they land a job and is willing to say so, please do. I am starting to get really frustrated and am wondering if I am just a moron when it comes to sales. I can talk your ear off in general conversation, but when it comes to sales I tend to get really nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Againg in advance. Erik,
