Quote:
'Our highest earning day ever on ladders was £600 and £870 using water fed pole, yep you read right.'
That says the real reason for the article.
Drop a hint about concept 2o and mention how much money can be allegedly earnt even if it was just one day.

I find it harder to believe that running around in a Smart Car is worthwhile! He's got a 50L tank in their! That would last us an hour i think ???

I read the article in the latest window cleaning magazine.he s basically saying if you have a DIY system you ll die skint!you all need to fork out for a pro system at 4 times the cost of a DIY SET UP.he says it's all down to attitude. we should be lining his pockets instead.
Also PPB gets talked about again. ::)roll ;D

guess you be putting off your new van purchase and buying one of his systems for your current van then ;)

So that's why I haven't become a millionaire yet why couldn't I have
seen this sooner.

to be fair what he is saying is if you treat WC as a business, and take it to it's full potential you can make a lot of money.
i have no doubt they have hit those max daily turnovers that they quote. i myself did over £800 on a day before christmas this year. it is definately not my typical day tho (it practically killed us!), and £850 is not Concept2Os typical day also. it does show what you can achieve.
WC can be any type iof business you wish. can be extra cash on the side, or it can be a money making machine run from an office. Julie and Carl @ concept 2O have developed their business into a a money making machine.

Sorry Ian. I'll stick to 'What brush should I get for cleaning [X]" posts, or perhaps "what pole do you recommend for [Y] :D
i think the secret of earning more money is using the lightest brush ::)roll

bob plumb makes his own from Asda @ £3.99 and makes £689.72 a day !! ;D

no not today got a text off him before saying summit abour getting blown by Gale .... lucky lad !
-

ha! he only ever moans to me about his back :P
-
I think it may be a misprint
He really means that if we don't all buy concept 2o systems then HE will die skint

You would find Richard I don't just have a smart car I have three vans and a smart car for shop fronts, test cleans, quotes and publicity! I bet I get more work from my smart car then you get in all your advertising put together
that makes more sense than using them as a WC vehicle. you'd have to refil them every hour wouldn't you?
really interesting to hear that you pick up a lot of business from the car tho. is that from leaving it parked in hi vis spots?
-
It has 75 litres and can go 5 hours for regular cleans wfp tops trad bottoms, I just need to pull up pull a pole out and start cleaning, everyone comes over to ask how!
that would only last us 2 hrs. we dont trad bottoms tho.
interesting idea if it brings in a lot of work tho...
-
Clearly you only do little houses! Try doing big commercial you will learn to make your water last
??? we're pretty good on water conserving to be honest. we just work fast. that's the best way to conserve water
if the Smartcar works for your business good luck to you.
if we were doing more quotes it might be of interest

I don't use luck to make my bussiness succed I use hard work, so in future you got a problem with my bussiness or want to slag me off how about do it to my face and not on a forum you don't think I'm on
well i didn't 'slag you off'... so errrr.... not sure what to say? :)
-
What got me was the idea that it meant you were a better business man if you decided to spend £6,000 on a pump and tank instead of £600. ;D
-

i dont think richard was "slagging" you off, he was just making comparisons

Perhaps you could suggest a nice aromatherapy bath for DMC because he obviously need to chill.

Interesting thread.

i imagine mincing around in a Smartcar all day must make you a bit self conscious? ;)

LOL.

Mincing in a smart car !!!!! You really havnt got a clue what your talking about
sorry, would 'cruising' in your Smartcar be a better description ???
-
Why you jealous your business so small you can't afford more then one vehicle? When you have a business worth talking about then start taking the p out of others, my smart car ROI is properly ten fold to your one van
well it's clearly worth ten fold one of your vans isnt it!
-

So size does matter?
-
fair play to DMC.he s in a different league to us one man bands!
im happy though! ;) :)

What a condescending article.
Lee must be really hard up for contributors to give this guy so much room.
Basically if you pay lots for a very simple machine to pump water to a brush you'll make more money and be a better window cleaner and not die poor.
I'm am engineer by trade and I dare say I know more about how systems work than he does.
It makes my blood boil to see people like this basically trying to con the uninformed out of their hard earned.
It reads like one of those lying I can change your life and make you rich if you only give me lots cash articles you read in down market magazines.
Did he really feel the need to get up at 3am to tell us how frustrated and sad for us he is that we all haven't forked out for his pump, tank and controller?

to be fair i don't think Carl actually says that you should buy one of their systems. i think his point is your aspirations and your beliefs about what you can achieve are the most important thing to what you achieve.
if you are only looking to pay your bills and make a bit on the side, and there is nothing wrong with that, that is what you'll achieve.
if Carl is guilty of something it is perhaps believing that others should have the same aspirations as he has, which is to grow a massive business in this industry.
-
Oooo I have no issues with self esteem at all, I have issues with people like you trying to put others down and make them look silly! Why can't you be pleased for people succeeding, or is your business that bad you make to make your self feel better by putting me down?
you so clearly do have self esteem issues! you read criticism from my initial comments, when there was no criticism there. if you were self assured and happy with yourself and your business, it would have been like water off a ducks back. the truth is the only criticism was in your head and you read that into my comment.

You would find I havnt been on this site for at least a yr because of the fools

Ignore them mate, they're fools. They're all laughing at your car, i can tell. So, apparently can you !!

looks like we have another who might be heading for the door ;)

I think I might be qualified to comment here.
Ian Lancaster Window Cleaner comprises 10 vans all fitted with DIY WFP systems without the necessity of incurring any debt whatsoever.
Maybe I'm "The exception that proves the rule", but I think our record shows that a reliable and efficient WFP system does not equate to the spending of thousands of pounds.
Nor does having a vastly expensive set-up have any direct effect on the earning potential of any individual.
I applaud people like DMC if they have the marketing drive to sell their product, after all that's what we all do - but I do think looking down on us lesser mortals because we are not blinded by their brilliance is inviting the sort of criticism displayed in this thread.

Don't buy that at all.
I've read many articles such as this.
They start off on a similar tack about feeling the need to share feelings (I.e getting up at 3am to write)
Then it refers subtly all the way through to his system and why life will be fantastic if only you take the leap of faith with him.
Its old hat and may still work on some.

Im confused why DMC Window Cleaners name has been dragged into it and slagged off when I thought this post was about "dying broke" if you don't buy a Concept2o system? ???

I find it harder to believe that running around in a Smart Car is worthwhile! He's got a 50L tank in their! That would last us an hour i think ???
That's why DMC got upset. ::)roll

thats the forum for you ........................... very few posts stay on track however DMC "dragged" himself into this post ...... IMO Richard was only stating that a SMART car with a small tank (50litres I think but cant be a rsed reading article) wouldnt last very long which is true however I think DMC took his observation as a critisism ???
Only reason he was "slagged off" was due to his handling of the alledged critisism plus some folk like a little bear baiting ;)
-
You have to admit it's an interesting "concept" putting a DIY system in a "yer missus's" smart car with
50 err 75 litres to get business for a business.
I quite like that.
I also like:
Gordon Bennet said "run DMC" which I thought was a smart concept.
;D
-
Oh. DMC has run. Deleted all his posts from this thread.
Some people are very touchy ... sigh. ::)roll
