| What is the best way to get apartment complex contracts? Do you send flyers? Do you go pounding on doors? Do you send a fax? I'm just curios what has worked for everyone in the past? |

| Apartments want the lowest cost available. If their contract is up with a carpet cleaning vendor and another company makes a bid that is a nickle cheaper, guess what? The current vendor is out of the job no matter how good the cleaning was. |

go straight to the propery manager... Dont waste your time with anyone else... get a brochure made up about your services and... tell them you want to show them how you can save them money on their carpet cleaning.. tell them that you realize they may already have a current cleaning company, but you want them to consider you for any future work that might come up.. tell them you will clean one apt for free to show them how good a job you can do. The apartments can be a very lucritive market.. I just landed a 45 unit apartment complex today!!!
$65 for one bed $75 for two bed $85 for three bed... the other guys are right though..... Price is usually the determining factor..... dont cut your balls off!!! ------------- Don't Cut Corners! Clean Them! |

I have several complexes,,,,14 I believe used to have over 20.
took a while to weed out the cheap ones (wouldn't let me raise prices)
now I'm gonna fire the ones that pay slow.
I got them all by beating on the door so to speak and word of mouth......that and one property manager owner owns 6 complexes
not huge money but it pays the bills in the slow months
3bdrm-$105
2bdrm-$95
1bdrm-$85 ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

Let me ask you guys this,
if you have a contract with 1 apartment complex (an average size complex) how many units per month do they usually call you out to clean ???? ------------- Don't Cut Corners! Clean Them! |

Rental units are a good source of steady work, the money is not the greatest for the units themselves, but when you clean all those corridors every 6 months(some anually) it makes up for it..not to mention the floods and the tennants that see you coming into the building on a regular basis and want their carpets or upholstery done. We leave a biz card in every vacant unit we clean and cards on the bulletin boards. ------------- It`s not how far you fall...it`s how high you bounce back up... |
