One of the best ways to get new customers for a deck cleaning or deck treating service businesses is to call the potential clients or prospect of customers on the telephone. One of the best ways to get a phone list of customers who have decks is to get with construction companies that build decks and trade and customer lists.
Another way is to ask for referrals from each deck that you either clean or treat and see if those customers will not give you phone numbers of neighbors or friends and family which also own decks at their home. Deck cleaning services can generally be quoted over the telephone and for those customers who want their deck treated or coated with special coatings that generally requires a visit and a free quote.
To get yourself invited to give a free quote you need to ask the customer on the telephone when the last time they cleaned or treated their deck was. Then you need to listen to what the customer has to say and answer all their questions adequately.
Once at the customer's home you can get a better idea of how much it will cost you to do the job and give them an exact quote. But you must use the telephone to get yourself invited over to the customer's location in the first place. And this is why telephone skills are so vital to a deck cleaning and deck treating companies. Please consider all this in 2006.
