Well I've been reading other threads and I've decided tomorrow I'm gonna knock on some doors and ask if people want their cars detailed. I've been doing my own interior detailing on my families cars for a while, so I have a steamer, carpet extractor, shop vac, etc.
Some questions I have:
- Pricing: I am confident I could do at least 90% of what a professional detailer could do. Problem is I have no credibility. I was thinking on charging $100 for a sedan and around $150 for SUV's and minivans. Am I under/over charging? Is it better to charge low and get referrals first?
- Sales Pitch: I plan on going along the lines of I'm Kevin I'm in high school, I'm trying to start a detailing business. Would you like your car cleaned? Minor thing, but would whatever I am wearing matter? I plan on wearing a t-shirt and shorts so I can quickly begin detailing but I've heard polo and khakis are more presentable.
- Referrals: I plan on making business cards using index cards and creating a GMB and social media profiles to get referrals. I'll hand these out to customers that I get from door to door.
Any other pointers?
