whats the situation

[SRE]

Back to the original post - we've had a bit of sun for the last couple of days, not a lot but just enough to encourage our customers to call. We've had 4 this week, maybe if we could all do some sort of sun dance it might help!

whats working your end flyers? advertising? cold calling?

 

[SRE]

Referrals from old customers and events. Very little else works for us.

 

[Ian-LS]

having a good website helps as well:angel_smile:

 

[SolarCity]

We've had a nice increase in enquiries. And we're winning some too - which is also important!

I'm just glad to be working again. It's been a struggle.

We're doing a big leaflet drop from tomorrow.

 

[Eco Deal]

50% of our jobs are not in north west . wehave always work all of U.K all we always will.

 

[SolarCity]

Likewise, we work nationwide.

we're a bit more picky, and only do Leeds, Yorkshire and surrounding areas and erm Inverness

We've installed far more systems in Inverness than we have in Bradford...

Gavin, you will have to put your prices up a little in Inverness, with the news today about the price rises in alcohol in Scotland, unless you are T total of course...

Seen an upturn in enquieries have done about 5 quotes this month none confirmed. Some customers want verbal prices which really is tough as its the unknown. None booked for May or June yet !!! However got a survey booked for every night for the next 2 weeks .....must get something I hope.

But again not spending much time on PV as the customers haven't been there luckily electrical and building contracts are busy !!

Website and google/referrals ......

I misheard the article on the news earthstore...thought they said 50 pence per unit meaning 50 pence a pint......lol

 

[moggy1968]

got one confirmed job, just sent the contract off today to be signed so have organised my inspection for May 29th. I'd let it lapse as there didn't seem much point if there was no work coming in, now rushing a bit to get the install done in time!!

Now we'll start a push on advertising and getting the website done as I've gone to the expense of renewing.

Think we were on the £20 bottles of wine last time we were up there, rather than the buckfast

But yes, our prices are higher for up there to cover the costs of hotels, transport etc and we're still seriously under the local conservatory company prices. The scaf cost up there is pretty shocking mind.
