Have you got a Bill and Ben working in your area?
Tell me something about them....
-
I will tell you exactly how they work.
They go out for a few hours a day, often doing one house in each street meaning they have to keep returning to it day after day (obviously to hide there earnings from the dole), they build quite impressive rounds, usually quite compact, but the best is how they decide to increase there profits after a few months.
See me and you, we would put the prices up, or invest in a better product or system. No these guys, they just start missing windows out!
Custy gets pee'd off, and dumps them.
Seriously they are not really that much worth bothering with. If it was me I would let the custys go and then go back to them in 4 months and ask how they are getting on. If both custy and cleaner are happy, good luck to them :)

plenty near me, but i just hoover up the excellent jobs around them.
-
The only thing that bothers me about them is the lack of brain cells to be honest.
I mean, if they just want a bit of beer money you would think they would go around offering a "traditional window cleaning service" at a higher price than the WFP guys in the hope to pick up the odd one. Some custys hate pure water (?)

I am sure I have lots around my area, but to be honest I am so busy building my own business they don't bother me.
Spend your time on investing in your business not worrying about what other people are doing that you consider are not a serious competitor!
