Just had a text from a £25 a month custie saying that things are getting tight etc so they have cancelled my services untill further notice!! I text back and just said I totally understand and wish them well in the coming months.

I always found it nice when customers were straight up. Too many have to keep up appearances and find an excuse. I would of gladly taken back a customer that was upfront and honest too

All cool, if they want u bk, no problem.
Things are getting tight, good reply, well done.

Her hubby was a manager at local Vauxall new car dealers and I think hes been laid off for a few months hence them tightening their belts etc!!

I used to be a Sales Manager at a Toyota dealer but left to start window cleaning 18 months ago ... so glad I did all motor trade having a bad time at the moment

Motor trade is knackered at the moment.
I had the same last night out collecting-nice customers who asked for a card to ring when they get back on their feet again.
-
as they said money is tight you were right to reply. if they give no reason i never reply to a text cancelling and
.
if they get in touch at a later date i speak to them roughly and jack up the price ,then higher still if they still want me
A bit like hell hath no fury like a woMAN SCorned

lost one as well at the begining of week.... they asked if they could call me now and then for a one off clean?
I said that would be ok, but I would charge a bit more ...job £23 si I said it would be £33 as a one off.
I then offered every 3 months at the original £23 , and they agreed!
it's a nice easy job that only takes 20 mins , so I am happy with that. hate to lose anyone... I have l;ots of surrounding work also

I had one before Christmas wrote a letter and called me to say her husband has lost his job and had to cancel.. fair play they where straight up its always appreciated.. id take them back like a shot she was always very prompt in payment cheque on the mat next day after cleaning even with second class post.
