What’s up, everybody? My name is Justin, and welcome to Forever Self-Employed. Today, I’m excited to share some of the easiest and most effective ways to get more customers for your pressure washing business. We'll also take a look at a recent job we completed and discuss how we landed it, leveraging our work to gain even more clients.
While working on a job in a neighborhood, the owner of a nearby house noticed us and asked for a quote. That job got accepted, and here we are, completing another project in the same area. This inspired today's video: the easiest ways to get more customers for your pressure washing business. It’s all about maximizing every job to create more opportunities.
1. Get Reviews and Before/After Pictures The most powerful way to get more customers is to collect reviews and before-and-after pictures for every job. These combined testimonials significantly boost your credibility. Make sure to ask clients to leave reviews on the platform where they found you, whether it's Google My Business, Facebook, or Nextdoor.
2. Post on Neighborhood Facebook Pages After completing a job, ask the client to post a picture of your flyer in their neighborhood Facebook page. This can lead to multiple new jobs, as people in the community see your work and recommendations from their neighbors.
3. Utilize the 5 Up, 5 Down Strategy After finishing a job, distribute flyers to at least five houses up the street and five houses down. If you have extra time, consider canvassing the entire neighborhood. Door knocking can be incredibly effective, especially if you’re comfortable with direct interaction.
4. Be Friendly and Approachable Always smile and wave at everyone passing by while you’re working. Engaging with neighbors can often lead to inquiries and potential jobs. A friendly demeanor makes you more approachable and leaves a positive impression.
5. Leverage Yard Signs Place yard signs in the customer’s yard, at the front of the neighborhood, or at the exit. This increases visibility and can attract more business from passing traffic. Always ask for permission from your clients before placing signs in their yard.
6. Maintain Customer Relationships Keep track of every customer you service and aim to make them recurring clients. Regular follow-ups can ensure you stay busy year-round. A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system can help you manage your clients, send invoices, and collect payments efficiently.
