Title: Can't clean a window without pricing a job.
Post by: colley614 on April 24, 2007, 07:06:15 pm: Hi guys,

Since I got my car back on the road I can't clean a window without getting at least 1 more job. I made up, at last things have turned in my favor. A couple of weeks ago I couldn't buy work. Today I went out and done a builders clean on an office and got 2 jobs from it. Then I went and done a big detached house and got another 2, possibly 3 from that. After that I went and done a semi which takes about half an hour and got 2 jobs from that. I arrived home to find a message on my phone from the detached house wanting to know if I can do another 2 houses in her road. Then I got a phone call from another semi wanting me to do her and her next door neighbour. I can't pick up a squeegee this week without getting another full days work and I'm made up!!!

Thanks for all the advice the last few months when I felt it wouldn't take off now I can't move for work. ( I could possibly need another pair of hands if it keeps going this way.)

There are always obstacles in any business old or new but to be successful you need determination, perseverance and a little bit of luck.

I am going to start leafleting around my houses now as I have quite a few houses now but they are far apart. I think today I spent about an hour and a half traveling from job to job. So I want to get the traveling ironed out and then I will pretty much be sorted.

I had the same last week, a lady delivering papers asked me to quote her house as her window cleaner has packed up his round.
So I dropped her a price and flyered the neighbours, got a call from one of the neighbours who has found me 10 more customers before I even clean hers.

Hope things keep going this way for a few more weeks.
