I used to go out collecting , a couple of hours per week all unpaid. Had enough of it so now I use Paypal or sae.
You will be suprised how many like the idea, I do 2 cleans then the ones that are not in either send a cheque  using the SAE provided , or pay via my websie and paypal
I did loose a couple of customers when I first started it , but they were the ones that I had trouble getting my money from , so no great loss

Been using SAE now for 18 months had a couple that never sent it so once i got the money i knocked them on the head.

No i don't get any problems and i don't do any collecting.
Wish i did it before as i used to hate collecting.

I use to go collecting Tuesday to Friday for about 3hours a night, that is a lot of unpaid work and I was losing my nights cos I was knackered when I got home. So 12 months ago I changed over to SAE (without a stamp) and what a difference lost a couple because they thought it was a stupid idea to send payment to a window cleaner.

3 months ago I started offering bank transfers as well up take was slow to start with but now I reckon about 20% of my custy base pay this way and 75% send the cheques no problem.

I still go out collecting (only an hour a week now) cos I’ve still got work under £4 and don’t see the point in them writing a cheque for this amount and it is nice to get some cash in hand.

Tacky change over as son a possible mate you won’t regret it.

This is what I give to my custy if they are out fell free to copy it if you want mate.

I telephone all my customers the night before, (free phone calls with my telephone provider) all my customers like this extra service, I collect at least 98% this way, when I clean their windows, no collecting or waiting for the postman.
