i know all the women at womens institute are very clicky and was thinkin if you could arrange to do a talk on how your cleaning services benefit them i think it would be a good target market as most are 50+ in age and if you did a good job for one i think it would be great way of getting referrals im just not sure they would entertain the idea as they tend to get people in for providing tips such as gardeners and bakers etc

And now we introduce our guest speaker, Mr. Richard Wiltshire from Lancashire who will regale us with his life story for the next thirty minutes.
RW: "Errr Kof Kof umm unaccustomed as I am to public speaking I have put a few lines together to tell you about my life as a window cleaner."
Heckler: "I say, d'you get to see any unusual sights when you're uppa laddah?"
RW: "No, not really I have this long pole that I erect to get up to the customers upper storey and ... "
Heckler: "Oooooh I bet you do! Did you hear that Gladys, he's got a long pole!"
RW: "No! I mean I stand on the ground and I get it up and right into the corners where all the crud and spiders webs are and scoop them out."
Heckler 2: "I'm 79 and I've got cobwebs and spiders everywhere ..."
(Room collapses into raucous laughter)
RW: (Blushing) "No, you misunderstand me, it's much safer with me on the ground and my pole spraying up at your bedroom window ... you can look out and see me rub your top cill to a nice shine if you want to..."
(More laughter with tears rolling down the ladies' faces)
The Verger barges in all flustered and starts berating RW.
"What do you think you are doing young man; this is a christian gathering of fine upstanding ladies ..."
Heckler 3 "Oooh vicar! It's not us who are upstanding ... it's 'im!"
Verger: "Right I'm off to get his reverence!"
RW: "Um er I didn't ... I mean ... "
Vicar: "Now then what's going on here?"
Heckler 1: "Nothing vicar, we've asked this rude young man to leave and would you like a nice cup of tea and a french fancy, vicar?"
RW leaves, his head hanging in shame with yet another fine story for cleanitup, while the vicar sups his cup with the fine ladies of the W.I.

Go for it....I'm sure they would be delighted to hear you include a wrestling demo free with the window cleaning service :D

If you upset one you upset them all, they will all toe the party line, when Mrs Jones sacks you for not shutting her gate.

im considering it guys ive got thew number for the woman who runs the wi in the village we have began trying to build a round in ive already got a ten minute talk saved on my computer from bni
just spoken to the leader and they have there programme fully booked until october
I've flicked through the rest of the comments and after roilling about on the floor with laughter, have to say thanks Rich as having a "down" day and this has cheered me up......
Ok so they are booked up until October, why not ask Mrs Leader of WI if you could deliver some leaflets to her to be put out at their next meeting, or find out when the meeting is and get one of your chaps to put leaflets under windscreen wipers in their car park.
Dave is right though.......get it right they'll ll be custies for life and recommed you, get it wrong and they'll all be soon gone :)

Gold just went platinum. Love it!
Not a bad idea to be fair Rich, but as Dave Morris pointed out ,they will all stick together.
