How To Get Clients For Roof Cleaning

[Krishanp_07]

I took @Johnny boy ‘s advice and started a roof cleaning business.

I’ve tried Facebook ads and ringless voicemails but they both don’t work.

Should I try another method of finding clients or should I just do a different business?

I’m sure you executed it really well. I’m sure Facebook ads “don’t work”. I’m sure you didn’t just do a shit job and it’s not your fault.

Facebook ads do work. Send me your ad and I'll roast it for free and tell you where you went wrong.

Pure gold. Saw this and had to take action. Switched up the words a bit to run it for car detailing and now I'm getting messenger leads for $7 each.

The ad is running great but the only problem is converting these leads.
I've had 8 people interested (15 leads total) and they all ghosted me.








I tried switching up my messaging tactics a bit to see what works but nothing has worked yet.

I would guess that my problem is caused by either:
1. my offer is not good enough - people still msg that they're interested so probably not
2. facebook leads quality is just shit - doubt it. if that were the case no one would run fb ads
3. messenger isnt a good way to close since its easy to ghost -tried fb form leads too and most lead phone numbers were fake

Where do you think im messing up on closing these people? How can I get that conversion rate up?

Anyone feel free to give your 2c if you have any ideas.

I'm in cleaning groups nearly every day on Facebook and see posts like this everyday.

When I started my cleaning business I used to walk around neighborhoods for hours passing out flyers. Flyers do work. You can't get those cheap flimsy things. Get a design made on Fiverr and get 1000s printed with good material.

You should also have a website, a good one that looks professional and represents your brand. If you don't have that then have your social media setup. People like to find out more information about a company before hiring them. They'll type your name into Google and do some research. Make sure something pops up when they do.

Maybe your problem is caused by 1, 2, or 3, but you should be focusing on what you can control - which in this case, is your conversation and closing.

It's weak and has cost you any opportunities you did have of getting the sale.

If someone has already signaled interest, you should be asking them what day, their address, and their preferred payment method - not f*cking around with "how can we help" and "we will assist you shortly" like you're a Comcast customer service rep.

"Hey Karthik, how's it going? You're looking to book our special $199 car detailing, right?"

- Yes

"Great, what's your address?"

"We can swing by on (day, general time). Credit card, check, what works best for you?

That's a very basic outline but you're probably just better off getting a phone number ASAP and closing that way, using the same approach to the convo.

"Hey Karthik, how's it going? You're looking to book our special $199 car detailing, right?"

Yaa with the leads he got was one step closer but failed on the execution part, try working with phone calls and make them feel genuine, this post is excellent example and try having social and flyer ads ,if this doesn't work than maybe its your area thats not suited to the service u offering or someone else is doing for them with better service than yours

In the first hour they text me. Instantly for some if I’m already on my phone when they message. Even tried waiting a bit.

Then saying "We will assist you shortly" is a lie. That's a total turn off, so turn off that automation.

And like other people said, try and get the phone number as quickly as possible and close via text.

Right now it's like you're going fishing, you caught a fish on the hook, and you're forgetting the reel them in when you have them. So they're off the hook and swim away...

Thats part of the game, you'll get lots of people responding and ghosting.

Sometimes I call them out, they'll respond to the ad and then say no thanks, and I'll respond why the hell did you respond then?

Although I probably shouldn't!

You got to think about who your audience is. You can't be putting a skull emoji in your ad.

I get you lol. I am world famous for disciplining people whom I find to be rude or impolite in sales

One time I got a guy who kept asking me to send him case studies, and I pointed him to our website, and he kept insisting that he wants a specific one, bla bla, I told him to look there, he kept insisting that he doesn’t see one relevant for him (which was false, he didn’t even look properly), so I got pissed off and told him I’ll end the call because I don’t work with losers who don’t do their homework.

 

[perchboy]

Nah F*ck this shit.

Past 3 days, $600 WORTH OF JOBS THAT CANCELLED ON ME!

One guy even cancelled on me right when I got to his house

Facebook has the shittiest lead quality for car detailing. Oven cleaning leads from fb were great back in the day but car detailing I think I’d get better leads going H2H (homeless person to homeless person) than running Fb ads

Do you send reminders a few days and then a few hours before turning up?

Reminder day before and before I left in the morning. He gave confirmation and then when I showed up he said he has someone cheaper

Even I booked a meeting with a lead and when I called before going over, he said he is too busy for a website at the moment and I haven't heard from him since. This sucks!

Start taking small deposits. That will stop that immediately.
