Once you have the proper equipment, know how to wash windows and have done the preliminary business steps, you are on your way to getting customers!

This is the most challenging part of the window washing business - and the most rewarding.

Commercial Accounts

If you want business accounts, you cannot be a wallflower. You are going to have to "cold call" businesses. Here are some tips to give you courage for cold calling:

  • You are offering a valuable service. Not everyone knows how to professionally clean glass.
  • Make sure you are confident in the basics of cleaning glass. Practice at home and on your neighbors' windows.
  • Dress the part. Make sure you are wearing your clean work shirt and clean pants or shorts.
  • Have your business cards ready and know what you are going to say before cold calling.

Armed with your business cards and trusty pen, go to the nearest strip mall. Go into the first store in the strip mall and say something like, "Hi, my name is Blair, and I'm with Squeegee Boy Service, is your manager available?" If so, ask the manger if you may give him a free estimate on cleaning their glass. Tell him the estimate is for the outside glass and both the inside and outside of his glass door. Write the estimate on the back of your business card. Often you will be hired on the spot.
