And I mean window cleaning - wise. Not as my dear late Mum once told me "don't get your girlfriend up the duff"!! Mine was read on here a few weeks back (and I think it was Macmac - not sure?). " All windows look clean when they are wet."

It was me & it's true ;D IMO it takes quite a bit of time & experience to be able to leave a property in full confidence that the windows will dry clear & free from spots/smears etc. I see silly quotes on here like- 4 bed detatched, pull up, clean wfp, drive off in 10 mins! nonesense. Maybe it's these who have all the complaints from customers. ::)

Set yourself a minimum charge, avoid council estates like the plague!!, Do an execptional job and charge well for it! Keep your costs to a minimum! Get yourself a Harris pole for £15 from b&q!!! (thanks Dai)

you can be the best window cleaner but a good salesman/ mediocre window cleaner will always do better

Fantastic salesman, exceptional window cleaner will do even better!!! especially if he has a bit of business sense as well!!!! ;)
(why would you settle for being mediocre at your job? I strive to be the best I can in everything that I do!!!)

Best advice for me was from mum:
Always put a bit aside for a rainy day.
Wish I'd taken that advice ::)

Try your hardest to achieve perfection - be satisfied with what you get!!

Agreed, but I would rather make enough money to really enjoy my retirement, instead of working 8 hours a day!!

The best advice with regards to window cleaning I've had was not to undercharge... followed by a long seminar on why you shouldn't! It was given to me by an elder window cleaner.
And the best advice I've had non-window cleaning was from my Dad who said, 'Son, the best things in life are hairy'.
-
The one I always remember is,
"you only get one chance to make a first impression".
-
I`ll tell you the worst advice i`ve been given,buy a Harris pole.
-
Why? I am happy with mine, and Groundhog said it was the best advice he'd had on here.

Yeah well lets just say i`ve seen him galloping down the road on shergar with his 10 gallon hat on,either that or it was a cowboy.

Hi All,
When I first started WFP Phill Washington Thomas ( a member on here and a good friend of mine) showed my his system and said
"If you wet it, wash it!" refering to any part of a window.
He meant that if you get water on any part of the window and don't wash and rinse it then dirt will run onto the glass!!.
The other pearl of wisdom was way back in 2004 when a chap said about WFP
" WFP is not a 'Magic Wand'"

Hi David, I like the one about if you wet it wash it, thats very true!! Not seen you on the forum lately? :)

can't comment on the council estates as i don't work them but the rest is so true.

A good piece of advice and one that I say often these days to my teenage sons is
"The best way to get out of trouble is not to get into it in the first place"
A few moments thought can save you so much grief later.

dump your trolley and get a vanmount

Here's three of them
Keep it simple!
If you do a good job they'll tell two of their neighbours, if you do a bad one they'll tell ten!!
There's the can'ts and the won'ts, tran the can'ts and get rid of the wont's!
And there endeth the first lesson! ;)

My Dad: "Sh*g em while your young lad, you can always drink beer when you
get to my age". ;)
And No 1: "Don't bother with a trolly, go straight for a van mount". Various. :-[
