Title: first flounce of the new year!
Post by: dazmond on January 10, 2017, 06:27:04 pm
collecting last night and a long standing customer says "i cant believe you came to clean the windows on saturday in all that fog!it was 4pm before the window dried properly!"eh!? ::)roll

were the windows clean when they dried?oh err!yes but not that clean!i wouldnt mind but its a £4-00 front only!

the windows looked fine to me.got paid and gave her the old "i wont be coming round again!" and flounced off. ;D

what annoys me about these types of people is when am i supposed to turn up to clean the windows in winter?on a sunny dry day with no hint of rain/wind/fog etc?

Thats why i educate my clients that ive invested in thus system as it allows to work in such conditions and that i will be working in the rain rather than loosing income down to the elements.

Though i did get the one customer who asked me not to clean their windows when it was only drizzling. So politely told him i didnt invest in this for people to be stuck in their ways thinking somehow they will not have clean windows once the drizzle had finished and they would be more suitable looking for a window cleaner who is happy to loose days of work/income due to drizzle.
Best part, day after i picked up a new customer which was double value of house i just lost.  ;D ;D

We need to just carry on and change the way custards think. I've picked up a customer before in the pouring rain and she wanted me to do her first clean in it!

i think the real reason is she doesnt like wfp.she d rather i cleaned her 4 windows "by hand".sod getting my ladders out for 2 upper windows.

plus it used to take me 5 mins to clean her windows.now its 2 mins with wfp. ;D :D

People are stressed this time of the year, especially as the credit card statement for last month has just arrived in the post.

Shouldn't need doing again if you've invested enough money - go and spend some more!

Is there any point doing a front only @ £4 and then having to go back to collect it ???

Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Why not? Bacs wouldn't cost you anything to collect, whereas collecting is costing you your time and wear on the Capri Rodders
You do contradict yourself at times
