Title: 8 weekly to 6 weekly
Post by: richywilts on December 30, 2010, 12:02:17 am
been thinkin that its really hard t grow the business whilst working in the business prob got about 6 weeks of full work with 2 weeks chasing round after messers and faffing round how do u think customers would accept a change in frequency would they be happy or would they expect cheaper rates.

but if i could convert them all to six weekly it would solve the problem of having to build the round up it works out an extra 3 cleans but with current weather conditions i think its be an extra 2 cleans per year

Keep it at 8 weeks and just canvass up more work at the weekends... You'll soon fill the gaps and it will be better in the long run.

when i 1st started i was every 6 weeks and changed about 1800 to every 4 weeks. i worked out that that iv i lost 30%(which i didnt) the yearly income would have been the same than it was if i had kept 6 weekly and easier to do with less work but the same money luckily they stayed and it boosted the yearly income considerably

why not just do the round every 7 weeks then until youve picked more work up they wouldnt notice that as much as 2 weeks early

When I started up I put them every 4 weeks and if a customer ask to be done every six weekly or eight weekly then I will ask others if they prefer to change. :)
