My equipment: [e.g. 8 GPM hot water unit / 4 GPM cold water + surface cleaner], and I can work [days/hours, e.g. nights and early mornings]. List the 15 best types of commercial properties for me to go after first, starting with recurring flat-concrete work like dumpster pads, drive-thru lanes, storefront sidewalks, gas station pads, strip plazas and apartment complexes. For each one give me: what usually needs cleaning, how often it typically needs it (monthly / quarterly / yearly), who usually makes the decision (store manager, district manager, property manager, facilities company, HOA board), and one thing to say that would matter to that person. Put the ones my equipment can already handle at the top, and skip anything that needs lifts, high-rise access or a big crew. ================================================== PROMPT 2: YOUR ONE-PAGE CAPABILITY SHEET (Step 2) ================================================== Write a one-page capability sheet I can email or leave with a property manager. Business: [business name], [city, state]. Owner: [your name]. Phone: [phone]. Email: [email]. Commercial services: [e.g. dumpster pads, drive-thru lanes, sidewalks and storefronts, parking garage stairwells]. Insurance: [e.g. general liability, COI available on request within 24 hours]. Hours: [e.g. nights and before opening, 7 days]. Water: [e.g. we block storm drains and recover wash water where local rules require it]. Service options: one-time, monthly, quarterly. Include short sections: Who we are (2 sentences), What we clean, How we work (hours, safety, water, after-visit photo reports), Service options, Contact. Plain and professional, no hype, no claims I can't back up, fits on one page. Leave a spot that says [PHOTO: before/after]. ================================================== PART 3: HOW TO FIND THE PERSON WHO DECIDES (Step 3) ================================================== - Plazas and apartment complexes: read the leasing sign out front. It usually has the management company and a phone number. - Look the property up on your county property appraiser website to find the owner of record, then search that company to find who manages it. - Restaurants and stores: ask the manager "Who handles your outside cleaning?" It's often a district manager or a facilities company. Get that name. - Write it on your walk sheet so every follow-up goes to the right person. ================================================== PROMPT 3: WALK-IN SCRIPT + EMAIL + VOICEMAIL (Step 4) ================================================== Write three short first-contact messages for a commercial pressure washing prospect. My business: [business name], [city]. My name: [your name]. Property: [property name and type, e.g. Bayside Plaza, a strip center]. Decision maker: [name and title, or "unknown"]. What I noticed: [e.g. gum and dark stains along the storefront sidewalk, greasy dumpster pad behind the restaurant]. Offer: a free test spot on [area] so they can see the difference. 1. WALK-IN SCRIPT (under 45 seconds out loud): introduce myself, say what I noticed, offer the free test spot, ask who handles exterior cleaning, and ask where I can leave my capability sheet. 2. EMAIL: subject line under 8 words that mentions the property by name, body under 90 words, mention I attached a photo of their [area], one clear question at the end. 3. VOICEMAIL (under 20 seconds): name, business, the property, the test spot, phone number said twice. Sound like a local owner, not a salesperson. No buzzwords, no "I hope this email finds you well." ================================================== PROMPT 4: TURN YOUR WALK SHEET INTO A ONE-PAGE PROPOSAL (Step 5) ================================================== Turn this site walk sheet into a one-page commercial pressure washing proposal. [paste your filled-in walk sheet here] My business: [business name], [city, state], [phone], [email]. My prices: [e.g. my hourly target, chemical cost per visit, any per-sq-ft or per-pad prices you use]. Price it per visit from my time on the walk sheet (setup, cleaning, cleanup and drive) at my hourly target plus supplies, and show your math in a separate note to me (not in the proposal). Offer two options: MONTHLY (a better per-visit rate) and QUARTERLY. The proposal needs these sections: - Property + prepared for [decision maker] - Scope of work (every surface, with square footage) - Not included (from my walk sheet) - Frequency + schedule (allowed hours, how we handle cars/people, water/drain plan) - Price per visit for each option - Payment terms [e.g. net 30, invoice after each visit] - Insurance (COI attached) - After every visit: a photo service report - Acceptance line (name, title, signature, date) Keep it to one page, plain language, no hype. ================================================== PROMPT 5: SIMPLE RECURRING SERVICE AGREEMENT (Step 5) ================================================== Draft a simple recurring service agreement for commercial pressure washing, to go with this proposal: [paste the proposal from Prompt 4] Include: parties, property, scope + not included, frequency and schedule, price per visit and payment terms, rescheduling for weather, access and site safety, water/drain handling, insurance, what happens if a result isn't satisfactory (re-clean window), term and how either side can cancel with [30] days' notice, signatures. Write it in plain English. At the top add: "DRAFT: have a lawyer review before use." ================================================== PROMPT 6: FOLLOW-UP SEQUENCE + AFTER-VISIT SERVICE REPORT (Step 6) ================================================== A) Write my follow-up messages for a commercial proposal I sent to [name, title] at [property] on [date]. - Day 2: short check-in that they got it (text and email versions) - Day 7: one useful detail about their property (e.g. the dumpster pad smell in summer, the entrance before a busy season) - Day 21: offer the free test spot again or a quick call - Then once a month: a one-line check-in, never pushy Each under 50 words, friendly, from a local owner. B) Write a service report text/email template I send after every visit: "[Property] — service completed [date]. What we cleaned: [list]. Notes: [anything we found, e.g. a stain that needs a second pass]. Before/after photos attached. Next visit: [date]." Make it short enough that the manager can forward it to their boss as is. C) After 3 good months, write a short message asking if their company manages any other properties that need the same service. -------------------------------------------------- From the Pressure Washing Plays YouTube channel: youtube.com/@Pressurewashingplays This kit is general information, not legal or insurance advice.
