I turned up at this job after the customer phoned me up to give her a quote. She was happy with the quote and at the same time i picked her neighbour up to. Went to do both a week later, no problem. Next month did the neighbor and then she comes out and says not to day i have a headache. ??? The following month not today I'm decorating ??? One more lady i thought and your binned. Then this month i decided to do her first Not today the house is still in a mess after decorating. OK no problem i said you have cancelled 3 months running so im going to drop you as customer because of my 3 cancellation policy. She called mr a w**ker and slammed the door in my face. :-\  I have picked up two more in the street   ;D and her windows still have bird poo since Late February.

I point out to my customers that I tried telling the bank manager "Not this time" once when the mortgage was due,...

They get the point very quickly and realise I'm running a professional business & I'm not the stereotypical dole scrounger that so many ppl believe window cleaners are.

"Not today I haven't got the time." was the one that left me  ???

These days if I get some fanny excuse I say: "No problem call me when you're ready and I'll see if I can help." That way if, as or when they call I have the choices of:

I'm a bit short on work so I'll do them and perhaps charge a bit more. Or I'm busy so can take pleasure in saying "no thanks."

Did a quick canvas in a road where I have a new customer.
Woman grabs the leaflet from my hand.
W: 'Oh great I've been looking for a window cleaner for ages, how much do you charge'
Me: '£15 for this house if done monthly'
W: 'That's great'
Me: 'Ok shall I book you in my diary'
W: 'No I'll need to decide which weekend I want it doing'
 ::) ::)

I wonder why she's been looking for ages...

I was told today, " Not today, there's a big flag hanging outside the window" ?????

Turns out it's an England flag her hubby put up for the world cup. I told her it'd be there next month too to which she said, " The football's not on that long is it?" On hearing that it'll still be going this time next month she says, "Sod that, the silly sod can put his bloody flag up later then."

Down came the flag and up went my pole; her hubby's just a keen footie fan I guess ;D
