I use Homestead to do my site below. That coupled with Google Adwords is a killer combo!

Interesting... I never considered banks! Banks are usually smaller, and very do-able with a two person crew, plus they are obviously not short on income to pay fairly for a cleaning crew.

Something else that would help when interviewing/bidding this job, would be to take in an official sealed state document that shows you have no criminal record - I have found clients go CRAZY OVER THIS!!!

Just this past week, I spoke with a current client that fired TWO cleaning crews in the past 2 years, because they were arrested for running a METH LAB, and another was stealing Vicoden from their medicine cabinet!! (They were both employees of Merry Maids - go figure, lol)

*What is your best technique and approach with banks or similar clients, to meet with the person in charge and seal the dea!?

Your website is the printed version of your sales pitch. You can talk until your blue in the face extolling the virtues of what you do, but if its not in print and theirs no pictures or proof, its harder to believe.

Also, since your website is a part of your sales pitch, dont half-arse it.

On that note, don't use one of those free domains where you can post a site for free, like yahoo or such, it is very unprofessional and looks cheap.

Good luck
One of my pet peeves! I can't STAND people trying to network ('pimp') their company, and handing you their business card like they are the CEO of a Fortune-100 Company... and then reading their email is icleanhouses@hotmail.com!!!!

You wish to start with Google and Yahoo maps. The listing is free and you do not need a website. Your local merchants will search and find you in the maps.

A website (and a plan for getting people there) is probably your most effective form of advertising.
