John,


Almost forgot to answer your ?’s


All these location are great commercial accounts.

Question #1“ And how do you get a McDonald’s or lets say a 7-11 store for a client?”
Knock on their door {talk with the gm and ask him how you can pressure wash his store}


Question #2“Do you go in to those places and try to sell them your services or do they mostly call you thru a yellow page adds you may have?” if you wait for the yellow page ad to kick in you will wait a long time for a McDonalds to call you.

Question #3“Residential seems so much easier to me but Commercial seems very appealing for any business to be involved in. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated”
You’re right residential maybe easier but I have commercial account that pay each and every month. Example a McDonalds that I have had for over ten years I have made to date exactly 21,000 on monthly service. Lets not talk about additional services and inspections washes that come up over night. 10,000 over the last ten years in just extras. Tell me a residential customer on average that anyone has made that kind of revenue. I myself have struggled with residential market. I don’t like the residential market simply because there’s no residual income. I feel like a used car salesman selling residential. Although I have friend that make more money than I do some days selling residential. I do think my annual gross is higher.


John, hope this helps this time, you need to knock on doors and meet with potential customers. Go to the marketing board everyone that knows this business has posted ideas to use. You need to just implement them. Do you like to eat out? this is a great way to meet the gms. Impose that they allow you to demonstrate your services, they will not turn you down you’re a customer. If they do don’t eat there anymore.
