Title: new window cleaner
Post by: john63. on February 04, 2011, 06:48:53 pm: Recently made redundant from a factory thinking of window cleaning and came across this website and got some useful tips. went out knocking on doors and dropping leaflets gained about 50 customers in 2 weeks mainly from knocking is this a good start.
obviously need more, can you make a good living , what about the bad weather days as of now.
still applying for jobs but no luck .
