2 questions for you Mike. 1. Do you ever draw up contracts with your residential customers saying that you’ll come every year or semi-annually to do a house wash or any other service or do you just do a good job and hope they call you back next time? 2. I’m only in my second year of business, about 10k revenue per month and only work in the summer. Is a CRM worth it? I’m just using the free version of Quote IQ right now.

Thank you. Isaac. 1. I never think to bring up the subject, but if they do, I’m glad to add them to the schedule. Joe Deery chooses to call it an “Annual Agreement”. I do however send out a mass text every February. This reminds them of my services. This results in 30-40 washes each year from previous customers. 2. I absolutely feel that a CRM is not only worth it, but absolutely essential. Where else can you hire someone to schedule, keep regular contact, bill clients, send mass texts, run estimates, request Google Reviews, send out mass texts, etc… for $50 a month. I use Markate. I pay for the whole year up-front and get one month free. I wash from March to December.

Hey Mike, another great video. When your spraying a hotter mix like this are you watering down the trees and shrubs around more than once? Or just a wet down before and rinse after? How often are plants or flowers getting burned from the SH?

Before and after. It does happn. Thankfully not that often.

How is it free, when you working for it. We call it bartering, but still, it’s not for free. If you did a job for free, it’s still not free, as you just bartered with the self or the lord 😬
@TheFreshRinseАй бұрын
I like that! Well, I got paid for the work I did… but the customer paid for the CRM through the tip they gave me through the CRM. I’m attributing the tip from the ease that the CRM created.
