To get us out early and start domestic at a time when you really can't :D

I used to start at 8 am but I seem to be working faster and finishing early so I have been starting at 8:30 and finishing at 3. going to start at 9:30 today because of the rain.
I only have about 25 more to do this week so should be finished on Thursday or Friday morning.

Always start domestics at 7am.

That's quite early do you just turn up on those or make appointments ;)?
-
I know which ones start early, and then just let them know the night before.
Some I just turn up because I know they dont mind.
-
Thats very early Sach - are you saying that you had to be there for her to see you doing the job?
-
i have never started before 9.00am :o
however I would start at 7am everyday if it meant been fully booked... roll on a few more years:D
-
We start clean commercials when ever they asked for and normally big chains is from 3am.
Domestic we start at 8.30am which is due to Noise issues for neighbours.

Lol Cowboy.
Most mornings domestics start brush on glass 7am.
Like Alex says, you get to know your own round.
Commercials I start earlier but hate getting up before 4am.
Just feels wrong setting the alarm for 3:anything...

If any of my customers didn't trust me I wouldn't clean them at all.

Yes I normally have that view too but was in a funny mood to give her what she wanted she now naturally prefers to leave her gate open again rather then be disturbed at stupid a clock in the morning :D
It actually works well I have just arranged another problem customer that wants the back done but doesn't want to leave the gate open as someone might burgle her house
So its booked in at 7am lol
I Have done this before but now I'm actually really starting to realise that these demanding customers are actually worth keeping you can't start domestic really till 8.30am when everyone's gone to work and the kids have been dropped off at least the just turn up ones but the ones who want to be in provided they accept early its basically dead money brought to life during hours you can't work
You do commercial early and late when you can't do domestic but I'd say its well worth having a 30% mix of these sort of customers included in your commercials :!)
-
Of course too many of these are no good so you need to stick to the system but lets face it most will be fine with opening the gate as long as less then 3 in 10 are demanding its actually not that bad;)

Ive started work at 3am before.
And I can only really manage an 8 or 9 hour day.
If I start at 4am I can do 14 hours
-
Ive started work at 8am before.
And I can only really manage a 6 hour day.
If I start at 4am I can be back in bed by 10 am!
FTFY! ;D

I meant me but I get what you mean.
I seem to be physically incapable of dragging my fat arse to bed for an early night (unless it's for sex) and working a full day on 2 hours kip day in day out ain't easy.
It's a psychological thing. Even 3:59am is far too early, much prefer 4am-if you know what I mean
I enjoy a wee early night watching TV and cup tea with girlfriend lucky she normally start work at stupid times coz her job! But I like starting early and finishing late

There is a guy around me he's 72, yes 72 his nick name is flick, I'll leave that to your imagination, he's out all hours in all weathers, usually see him at 7 cleaning houses. Best of it, he was left a warehouse in trafford park a few years ago, doesn't need the money, must be love of the view ;)
