Started the day at 8 again
First job was a control tower on the barbican; this is the job i needed the back pack for as there is no parking for a transit.
Had to clean all the outside & inside windows. Took us an hour.
-

-
Got to this next job a 930 not a bad little earner this one.
All the windows and the signs where cleaned.
After this one we did another 10 but i forgot to put the SD Card in the camera so i ran out of memory

Had lunch at home and picked up the SD card.
Started this next one at 12.30

Alright Rhys i have been running SAJ Window Cleaners for 6 and a half years, Started when i was 16. Feels like yesterday i started the company.
At the start i just put out hundreds of leaflets a day and slowly built up a good customer base, after the first year i was getting enough recommendations to stop the leaflet drops.
Those days in my posts where my quite days that’s why i was taking the pictures, today to busy to take pics.
I think we clean between 450 & 500 properties a month, but looking to get that down to 400 a month but without losing any money.

Why? Are you trying to hide something ???

When I did mine, someone said something similar and I never understood it then nor do I now.
I think we all agree that the majority of customers would not just drop us for a stranger who appeared on their doorstep offering to clean the windows for cheaper than their present cleaner.
Stuart has just posted pics of his work day and I find them motivating and informative.
I would recommend as many people as possible doing it as I found it a really motivating factor in my working day when I did it...I couldn`t wait to get to the next house to take a photo ;D
for an inspiring site and photos look here:

The thought of someone driving around Liverpool searching for the properties I posted pics of and then, if they found them, approaching the owners to undercut me was a bit laughable to be honest.
Lets have more picture diaries I say ;D

Totaly agree steve.
You going to do any more pictures diaries?
-
well I pretty much do the same houses to be honest...a few additions here and there and a few of the lower priced awkward ones have been binned.
I have put signwriting on my van though and fitted a pole holder and also got a 35ft carbon fibre pole so do more high windows.
I can feel my shutter finger twitching here ;)
