How to do a pest control estimate?

Hello everyone, Daniel here from Pest Free Canada.

I am wondering if there are any other pest control companies on here who have any new or interesting ways to provide a estimate to a potential client? Or even to add value to a current customer?

My company focuses on solving a customers immediate and ongoing issues, but also doing exclusion work to prevent it from happening again. I also like to look for other small jobs that a client may need and offer that service to them. I feel like this strategy adds the most value to every stop I make and lets the customer know that I care about really solving their issues.

    Hello, Daniel! I commented on another post of yours. 

    I have been thinking about offering exclusion work as well but I want to figure out the logistics first. I’ve been doing this lead acquisition for honeybee removal specialists for 10 years. I did a lot of removals to begin with but became so busy managing calls for service that I left that behind to focus on referrals. All the guys that work for me are independent contractors, so I can’t manage the exclusion work too closely. I can’t do it myself because I work full time, in local government. 

    I feel like this is a great opportunity but I’m just not in a position to do it. How easy is it to sell to the customer?
