Title: what are you doing in your down time ?
Post by: Window Washers on April 25, 2012, 12:21:36 pm
Been reading the posts about people that are not or can't work in this rain.

What are you doing in your downtime to move your business forward ?

Designed a leaflet, made some sae templates, made price increase letter, paid car insurance off, had a look at some Wfp gear totalling costs etc and paid my car insurance! If it's raining again tomorow I'm gonna get some ink and print some leaflets out and get amongst it!!
That's enough for the windows for today.
Now got the kitchen to decorate for a couple of hours, gym and quick pint of beer before the real Madrid game kicks off!

re:bobby  'we window cleaners are a proud bunch, raised from birth to spot bird muck from a mile away.  since the dawn of time leafletters have been the windows cleaners slave, doing every task the window cleaner does not want to do.  i am well within my rights to treat your son as i like.  if your son promises to bow at my feet (and bring my slippers) then perhaps i shall take him back on'
