Sales Funnel and pipeline for Washington Window Warriors

 The sales funnel for the Washington window Warriors looks something like this: 

  • Market How many people pay for window cleaning in your area?

    • Thousands of people

  • Suspects Who pays for window cleaning? 

    • Just about all middle and upper class home owners

  • Prospects 

    • Who doesn't have a window cleaner that they hire every year? People who have an annual window cleaner are much harder to sell to because they are loyal to their current cleaner which infers that their current cleaner has shown loyalty to them as clients. 

    • Reach prospects with the brand. We market the brand as one that is based on quality and community.

  • Interested 

    • If prospects show interest in needing a new window washer or having their windows clean, capitalize on the opportunity and get them to them commit.  

  • Committed 

    • we have set up a date and time with the customer to complete the job

  • Closed

    • We have been paid and completed the job.

    • Follow up

        • We put them on our calendar for the next year or contract with them to do annual cleans at a discounted rate. 

  • Pipelines 

    • How do we keep a study flow of business?

      • The busiest quarters will be Q2 and Q3 for window cleaning

      •  Q1 and Q4 are primarily gutter cleaning but they will bring in far less revenue than Q2 and Q3 

      • In order to compensate for decreased revenue in the fall and winter we will have to exapnd our business to include Christmas light installation and roof cleaning when we get to the point where we have full time employees.

    • A large portion of our customers will be a recurring customer base that we expand upon each year through word of mouth, door hangers, SEO marketing, and affiliate marketing tactics
    • The affiliate marketing tactics will be based on incentivizing recurring customers to recommend their community to use our business in return for a discount or giving them referral codes to share and if a new customer uses that referral code then they get a discount on their first clean.

What do you wish to get out of this class?

 When I signed up for the class I thought it was going to be related to the name of the class, Entrepreneurship in computing and Software Systems. I was expecting the class to focus on discussion of new technologies and how they could be implemented from an entrepreneurial perspective. Now that I know that the class is more focused on developing any ideas we have I want to better understand what to do in the first stages of execution. We are going over how a business plan is needed to provide a road map for the company and get the details written on paper which has taught me things about my business that I hadn't accounted for. If I could get anything out of this class it would be learning how to identify and recruit the people that I need to start a business that is out of my own capabilities. For example when I had the idea to start a VR company it was a great product that I had imagined but it would be impossible for me to build it by myself. I would need to recruit really sophi

Strengths and weakness

 Strengths:  Mannerisims: I grew up with parents that taught me basic manners like saying please and thank you which seemed really simple to me but as I've met more people over the years I've noticed that many of them dont do the simple things like looking someone in the eye when they shake their hand or having a firm handshake.  Connecting others together: I am constantly expanding my diverse network of friends and acquaintances and I am very impresionable and quick to make friends. Because people are find of me, they can trust me when I say I want to introduce them to another one of my friends.  Ambitious: I have a very ambitious vision for what I want my life to look like and being ambitious has helped me to dive into things that I would otherwise have not done like starting my window washing company. An example of my ambition is setting the goal of 100k in revenue this year.  creative and imaginative: I have a strong imagination and use legos as an outlet for my creativity.

Erik Hanberg

 What I was the most curious to find out about Erik was how invested he was in his book. Many successful entrepreneurs say dont fall in love with the product, but the customer. I imagine that when it comes to writing a book it is as if creating an art piece as every word comes from your own imagination. I would find it hard not to write what I want, but the customer wants. Erik also made the point that once he figured out the Amazon ads his distribution greatly increased. When I asked him if he would rather have a quality product that quantity distribution, he said that he would rather have a rough draft of a full book than a quality first chapter to get out. This surprised me because as a consumer I want to buy a quality product but has a seller he wants to distribute as much as whatever he can produce. It was also shocking to me that even though the kindle version of his book was free, people still wanted to buy the hard copy. I think this was a good marketing tactic because all it t
