Full disclosure, I am in the area and own a pest control company in Vancouver, Washington. Before I started out, I had a few different people come to my house occasionally for pest control services. One of the guys that came out really tried to hard sell me on services that I was not even sure that I needed. I don't know about you, but I really, really hate pushy sales people. It makes me feel really uncomfortable and what I have found is that most pest control companies fit this mold.
When I started New Leaf Pest Control, I decided that I wanted to be different and set up a company that was never "pushy" and never made the customer feel uncomfortable. So far, I think that we have accomplished that.
I got a call from a potential customer the other day that seemed pretty nervous about having a pest control company come to her house. She asked me an interesting question, "if you needed to find a company to come out and treat for ants, would you pick your company?" Well, I didn't really need to think about it too hard and I said, "of course". But, later on, I did think about it. If I was a customer, how would I rate my experience from the moment I picked up the phone to when the technician left my house. Perhaps it is unfair to answer that because my opinion is obviously so biased. But, regardless of that fact, I think it is important to think about these things, to make an effort to create a good experience for the customer.
Anyway, in this long winded, self serving rant, I wanted to offer you a coupon for reading it all the way to the end. Please click here for some pest control coupons in the Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington area. Thanks for reading!
