Hey guys, im new to this forum, ive been looking through the forums here and on Detail City for a while now. I have recently opened up my own company, and am looking for some input on how to obtain a solid customer base. I had one idea that i thought about trying, but wanted some input from you guys.
I thought about contacting some of the local house-cleaning companies that clean the high-end condos, apartments and houses, etc and offering them a percentage cut of what i make off of details for every customer of their thats signs up for a detail. In other words, while they are having their employees perform the house cleaning, i would be "sub-contracted" through them and detail their vehicle at the same time.
I only thought of this because my mother works for one of these local companies, and im almost sure i could work it out with them. I would only do it for 3/4 months, just enough to get the word out. With the help of an established company, people would more than likely be more willing to buy a service that is similar to the one they are already receiving since they know there is a high quality level from said company.
After three or four months, i would retain these customers as my own. This would lead to referals from that company and the customers, and i could also refer my customers to that company at the same offering.
Suggestions? What percentage should i offer the company?
