We’ve been using Voice AI to handle calls when we’re unable to answer the phone. Overall, it does a solid job, but we’ve noticed that a number of callers hang up as soon as they realize they’re speaking with an AI. I don't know how many people hanging up are potential customers vs. salespeople calling to sell me something. @Benjamin Millen — I’ve heard you mention on your YouTube channel that you use an answering service for appointment setting. Would you or others mind sharing what you use or recommend?
Cleaning Vinyl Windows
Does anyone have any tips or tricks for cleaning vinyl windows for a house? They have 12 windows around a porch and they cannot be removed according to the homeowner.

We have a large market in the Raleigh area but I regularly get underbid by other companies … even for cleaning homes valued well over $1 million. My biggest concern is finding more customers who value quality and service over price.
Another Commercial Proposal
I’ve got another commercial proposal that I’m working on for a 3 story building for cleaning 225 large external windows with tinted hydrophobic glass. These windows are supper dirty so I’m thinking it would be faster to power wash the building first with a mild window friendly soap first just to get all the major dirt off and then come back and use the WFP on the upper floors. Anyone have thoughts on that? I don’t know if it’s just that I’ve just been at the right place at the right time but it seems easier to find large buildings property managers wanting window cleaning quotes than small storefront buildings. Curious if this has been the case for others.

Thanks. I’m going to add a gooseneck attachment that will give us about 10 more inches and think this is going to have a much better reach for this job. I’m going to prolly wait to get a larger wfp after we really need it.

@Duane Miller Thanks for the tip. I’ll check that out!
Commercial Window Cleaning Bid
@Benjamin Millen, I've been watching your channel for about a year now and alway appreciate your content! Thank you for setting up this network. We have been doing mostly residential window cleaning (and pressure washing) but are wanting to get into commercial window cleaning. I'm working on a bid for a new (large) restaurant with about 80 sets of windows (2-3 sections in most places - each section is 3-5ft x 4ft for each set. They will want their windows cleaned once a month. Most of the windows will be fairly easy to get to indoors and the outdoor windows we should be able to use a combination of squeegee + mop and water fed pole. They will want the windows cleaned between 7am and 11am before they open so that may be a challenge as well. Anyone have experience with cleaning that large of a building? I'm looking for a rough estimate on how long you think it would take to clean that many windows inside and out and much to charge for monthly cleaning for this many windows at a restaurant. I'm estimating that it will take 6-7 man hours after the initial deep clean (we will use two people for this to meet the time crunch). I have no idea what competitors charge for this kind of job for a monthly clean for commercial. Any feedback would be appreciated!

@Karl Reinhold, thank you for replying. I would love to provide more detailed pictures but I don’t know this group well enough to risk revealing who the customer is by sending detailed pictures. The total count of all the panes inside and outside is 158 panes so times 2 means 316 total panes. There’s more glass inside as they have several enclosed areas with all glass. I’m planning to bring them a proposal by tomorrow afternoon. After the initial cleaning, I’m estimating that it will take 6-7 hours to clean all the glass. From the more experience folks out there, does that sound too optimistic?
