Title: Admitting Defeat
Post by: Pole2pole on April 11, 2006, 11:00:26 pm
I lost 2 customers today, two old gals who live next door to each other. One said she was getting son to do them from now on. The other was gonna get hubby to do theirs. No trouble doin them trad but they just didn't like the results with WFP. They gave me the benefit, but after 6 months one or two bits of glass were getting white streaks down them time and time and time again.
Not so much on the main upstairs window, but the little ones above that open outwards.
I've cleaned the frames(time and again) I've blasted the glass when rinsing, but in their defence........they weren't coming up perfect like i promised they would. I've about 450 customers on a monthly turnover and these are the first i've lost in this manner. Question is..........Is it fair to say that for one(unknown to me) reason or another, sometimes wfp just don't work???

I would blade them but truth is when i've got all my wfp kit out, i just can't be ar$ed to go back to van, get ladders, bucket n belt etc etc...Easier to let them go. There's another job round the corner waiting for me, I'm sure.
