I use this simple line with good results. I stop by a business and say "I noticed your (building.... sidewalks... Dumpster pad... ect.), I would be interested in providing a proposal when you put it out for bid (or are ready to have it done)." About 20 percent of them tell me to write it up now and give it to them. I have gotten away from the "putting it out for bid" line to avoid suggesting that there are others out there to get prices from.
Even if they haven't planned on getting it cleaned, it puts the suggestion in their mind. I leave a wood brochure, property cleaning brochure, business card and cover letter with whomever I talk to and ask them to forward it to the decision maker if they are not in.
Give it a try.... you got nothin to loose
