Do your regular customers expect you to work over the winter / Christmas periods, i was asked yesterday if i worked over the winter and I think they were surprised when I said yes.

All year round ... Is there any other way ?? Only had 1 so far say make October last visit till April ... Guess who never got their Sept clean let alone October visit ... I would always offer every other with a slightly uplift in price but this 1 was a drunken messer who was becoming a PIA so dropped her totally

i think we all have custys that would be happy if you didnt turn up through winter just to save them money plus if they working its always dark when at home, and custy that ring if your a day late,either way for me if they aint happy with year round service bye bye

I have had quite a few off these " not in the winter thanks" I have tried to explain its a all year round service as we agreed on first clean. It seems to be more this year.They tell me the windows are staying clean, So you have a good job then.Yes they say. Well I will not be coming back in the summer I only servioce customers who stick by an agreement they made with me.
