Well I put the feelers out last night asking Customers if they still want us to Supply our Window Cleaning service to them. YES PLEASE most of replies. That was around 20 only. not one Negative. I could not believe the positive replies.
I plan to message them with a date and time slot. no note in letterbox no contact . just pay online etc. I will park outside there house , clean / Gone. 9am / 12pm Get some work done, get some cash flow coming back in. Just enough to take the pressure off. 1 / 2 days a week to see how it goes
Or until im told im not allowed to go out to work.
June is a way ahead, NOT guaranteed to be contacted.

seriously mate DONT BOTHER WITH TEXTS ASKING CAN YOU STILL CLEAN......ive worked the last 2 weeks as usual,sent my normal texts,etc....I HAVE HAD NO SKIPPED JOBS AT ALL THIS WEEK....and only 4 last week.....most customers have been great...ive also been paid quicker too for most jobs.....even the childrens homes which normally pay after 30 days have paid me in less than 14 days! :D
ive only had one job this week who wants to suspend for a few months until the 12 week isolation period is over.thats fine by me as its only a £10 4 weekly.....
-
I wouldn’t send out texts like that i sent some out saying I’ll be round to clean them at X,what you are doing is giving them a reason to say leave it please.
-
Same here just turn up n do them if they dont want them doing they will tell you,only had about ten in two weeks that said leave them 🙂👍

I worked a day last this week.. The first one for over a week.. I changed my mind so many times should I or shouldn't I.. Had no problems with customers they was all great.. Got home read the news that 500 people had died that day.. So put it into perspective for me.. Not worked since.. I really need the money but untill the figures start going down I don't think I'll be working
-
Get out to work you can't spread it if you follow the guidance.
I was in a dillema worked today it was great no problems no bad vibes.
Will be working from now on.
People die every day usual death rate is 600000 a year.

That last line did make me laugh Daz yeah pay for your funeral 🤣🤧

I’ve carried on as normal
All my customers have been great.
I even have customers phoning me just to make sure I’m coming.
-
It'll only affect us when our customers start to die.
Or if we start to die.
Let's hope they don't happen.

A bit extreme

Back to original post. Might be worth scrapping posting the slip through letterbox and move to a text confirmation
-
You could always put a envelope through when they are staring at you out the window,make sure you give it a good lick and a wink before you pop it through though eh 🤣🤣🤣🤣😷😷😷😷
-
as I said, no posting a note in letterbox . they get a text. if I feel comfortable with no crap off non customers ill see how to go ahead in the next few months. The thing is I do not have all customers numbers. So I do not want to turn up for them to tell me to go away. I think ill leave the oldies alone .
As they keep saying work only if you cannot work from home. It fecked it up for us when they first said for Essential Workers Only to go to work.

I was in Aldi today, bumped into a Customer, 60s They were wondering why I hadn't been round working. I told him, stopped working staying at home. He says its your Bussiness , you need to work.
-
If you’ve got the numbers just a short text saying window cleaner Tomorrow-today-in an hour etc,we are trying to carry on as usual at the moment but are aware of social distancing as you pay online this won’t be a problem.
I hope this is ok if things get any worse and we are told we are unable to work we will let you know when we return to our normal schedule.

8 skips and 1 cancel for me this week.

Just to answer the original question. I would continue to ask customers. Its a deadly virus and yes I get it we can safely work........I'm still working too. However if the customers aren't comfortable with you there DONT GO. They might also have financial worries and so window cleaning isn't priority. Btw I've only had 1 cust postpone
15 years running and I believe communication is key

I'm guessing funerals are cheaper now. Only a few will turn up. No wake to pay for. Every cloud and all that ...

On a normal day in the UK we average around 1,600 deaths, day-in-day-out and that's without the Chinese plague.
We are a population of 67 million.

And with the virus?
It's ok to be scared.
