Please tell me what you all would do if you were me. This is the 4th time I have sent them the proposal, and now they are stating there are terms that do not apply.. 🧐

Nice response! I also listen to the client that wants changes and update if it makes sense to me. Over phone, or preferably via email. Everyone is happy. @Kendra Watkins $18.83 for real, up to date lead contact list? How many?
Be Challenged!
I teased it earlier in the week that I’d like to do a challenge (I love challenges). I wanted something fair, which equally engages whether you’re small (me) or you have a large business. Between November 1 and December 15, the winner of this challenge will win $100 for the holidays. How to win: 👉 3 points for every recurring proposal delivered. Doesn’t matter if it’s commercial or residential. 👉 1 point for every one time -or- temporary service proposal delivered. Temporary includes services that last for a month or less (eg a deep clean, PCC, etc). Doesn’t matter if commercial or residential. On December 16, add up your points. Post your score. It’ll be an honor system. I want you to post your own identifier of that prospect, how you met them, and the outcome after delivering that proposal. It doesn’t matter if they agreed to your proposal or not. Why proposals only? There were times I had zero growth goals. I wanted to solidify what I had. So if this is your goal, this makes it easy to participate. I also don’t want to put you in a cash flow crunch (been there, done that). The winner will be paid out around the 17th or 18th, after points are tallied, preferably through Venmo. Good luck!!!!

Thanks! Done with a school walk through today, and I have another walk through tomorrow morning for Bishops (referral) 8 bedrooms residence during visit for once a month cleaning. Is this acceptable too in the Challenge? :)

And another customized laundromat cleaning.
How would you price this??
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16GP55jdrpS_pO8bM8T9cENlF21rEhUz0p61mUqLdDvk/edit Let’s do a test run of pricing. I’ll start with a real client, complete with pictures. It’s 12,000 sqft cleaned 6x/week. What would YOU price it at? Provide in an answer: 1. Your rate per month 2. Total estimated hours 3. Breakdown by percentages of labor, supplies, and gross profit. For example we typically aim for 65% labor, 2% supplies, and 33% gross profit.  Share publicly (or in private): Thanksgiving weekend I’ll share the rate.

Residential Post-Construction Cleaning - client says too expensive
Hello, I have a referral for a residential post-construction cleaning client. After submitting my bid—which included post-construction cleaning, internal and external window cleaning, and power washing a 300 sq. ft. area near the pool—the client said my quote was too high. He believes the job should take no more than a day to a day and a half, noting that the interior is mostly clean and that the primary focus is on the windows. His suggested budget is less than half of what I originally quoted. He also mentioned that after final fixes, the painters, floor finishers, and plumbers would clean up after themselves. He offered to send photos for a revised quote instead of having me visit the property again, as it’s about an hour away. I’m hesitant to rely solely on pictures, as I don't want to commit to a quote without a clear understanding of the actual workload. Additionally, I’m uncomfortable with the client estimating how long the job should take, as it may not be accurate. If I do proceed with a quote based on photos, I’m considering including a clause that states the price is subject to change after an in-person inspection. Any thoughts or recommendations on how to navigate this?

I suggested 15% off. The house didn't pass town's inspection so post construction cleaning is delayed by 3 weeks. The owner told me he is going to send me photos after fixes to show me the cleanliness. He is assuring me that he is having contractors to clean after themselves and not too much to clean. He also invited me to come again to take a look and re-evaluate my proposal. He seems very eager to go with us because he was referred to us by my current client. I am not sure I want to do a second walkthrough as it is 50 mins away from my base.
