i want 12k for it 8x the clean...as long as the person goes in and does a good job they,ll have themselves £19500 a year!!!

 the round is 4 weekly hence cleaned 13 times a year @ £1500= £19500
 also there are yearly conservatory cleans and gutter and fascias cleans to,so you could add at least another 1k to the above figure.

i would say be smart uniform helps . be professional the van will help.
dont under cut to get work!!!!  drop all messers and not todays.
i give em a 3 strikes if there lucky. but i,ll tell them all day long i run my business not the customer.
i will bend over backwards to and go out of my way for them if they need a clean
or have some thing on. its good old fashioned customer service.

DO NOT UNDER PRICE.... to run a successful wfp biz you need to have an average of at least £9 per property. DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT.
                                         hope this helps  david.
