Buying another Window Cleaning Business…
Hey All,
I received an email recently from a window cleaner looking to possibly buy another window cleaner’s business. He asked some questions, so i thought you might benefit from then answers in case you are ever in the market for another window cleaning business.
Hi Steve,
May I please get your opinion/advice: I talked to another window cleaner over the weekend and he wants to sell his business because he is moving in a little over a month. He claims to have 135 residential customers and a handful of commercial customers. It is not a franchise. He is asking $7000 but says he is flexible on the price and it is important to him to find someone who is trustworthy. I trust what he has told me so far, but I am just not sure what price is fair and if it might be best to give him some money down and the rest as a % of what I actually make from his customers. Can you please give me all the thoughts you have about this?
Thank you,
David

Contacting Property Managers
Hi All,
I received an email recently from a window cleaner looking for advice on what to send to a property manager in order to get the relationship going. I thought you might benefit from it:
Hi Steve.
I’ve spent the last few days calling property managers to get on their vendors lists’ and have had several ask me to send over my “info”. I was hoping you could offer your input on what kind of package to send them. Your thoughts are always appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bret

Some Card Wording to use…
Hi All,
The other day a window cleaner signed up for Send out Cards and as we talked about how it can benefit his window cleaning business, he asked me if I would send over some card wording that I used within the greeting cards that I sent my customers. I told him I’d send it on over to him, but I also figured I’d post it to the blog.

Creating a Free Website
Hi All,
Good morning. I’m back with you today to talk about the process of getting a website online for your window cleaning business.
We started this series of articles by first discussing domain names: how/where to buy it, how to save money (use a coupon code) when buying it, etc. That blog post is here if you haven’t read that yet.
Next we talked about editing the DNS information at your registrar (the place where you purchased your domain name from).
Today we’ll talk about the actual website itself as far as creating one. There are a number of ways to create websites all the way from free methods to paying for expensive web designers.
