Hey guys. maybe it is a silly question but I need some help.

I'm currently working for a 5 star hotel and I notice that their windows are lame. Everything else in the hotel is reeeeally clean but it's been a while that their windows are dirty and they don't seem to do something about it.
Well, thing is, windows are dirty and needs to be cleaned.

I was thinking about emailing them offering a window cleaning service and if everything goes well I hire a company to do it and I make some money out of it at some margin. But I don't know how to approach em through email. I want to make some money out of it and get a feeling of entrepreneurship in the real world cause I won't learn how to work in heights and get a licence to do it.

How would you guys do it? Should I create a dummy email offering this service like a B2B company? I call them and pretend that I don't work there and say that a guest told me that windows needed cleaning? This is weird cause I work there but it's a clear need that I wanted to make some money out of and keep my entrepreneurial mind sharpened.

Maybe I will be called action faker but eh, maybe not.

are there window cleaning service companies in your local? are there other hotels / buildings that need to be cleaned?

call the company and see if they would be interested in some leads.

+1. It's a lead gen model. Try to send them an email. Then, a printed letter. Then, call them. Do not limit yourself with your hotel. Just try !

Why are you talking about email and phone?! You work there. Go into the manager's office and talk to him/her face to face. Offer to bring a team to clean the windows at cost. It's called networking. It's how I got my first sale ever.

Read a book :The secrete of Selling Anything by Harry Browne . (this books will help you finding ways to make an honest sell pitch to the hotel manager face to face). Reminder this books is not about those crappy sell pitch we learn in a salesmen training .
Dont go for emailing option . Talk to the manager directly . Use rules talked about in the book.
