Interesting thing just happened…A gentleman messaged my Business Facebook page asking if I am Insured. Now, here is the fun part…He’s my competition…He actually owns a decent size “handy man” service, doing Window Cleaning, Power Washing, Awning Cleaning and Gutter Cleaning. Also owns a Laundromat…I know who and to what extent my competition is…I did my homework LOL
I do not believe he knows that I know who he is and that he owns a window cleaning business…hell, he may even be on this forum! I can say with certainty, that I am no danger to his business as I am just starting out and I’m limited in what I offer…However, I do not plan to be new and small for long!..The way I see it,there’s plenty of Home service offerings to go around. I also do not intend on undercutting his company price wise…that’s not how I roll.
What would you all make of his question…if I have Insurance?..digging to see how serious I am about what I do? or looking for a way to turn people away from my company?
A couple of years ago some guy messaged me asking if I can clean old style glass that is found on older homes; something about not altering or damaging the glass. After a couple of messages back and forth I just wrote him off as a horses tail end and deleted him.
I would reply to him to meet in person maybe you can net work with him. I work for two other companies if I get real slow or if they need help on large jobs. We also send each other jobs when we are to busy to take on.
