no offence
but why would anyone trust you with that information
you would hold cust details and prices charged
with that info you could go round and take customers
im not saying you would :-X

I was just thinking the same thing; I don't think this will take off as window cleaners like to keep there round info to themselves.

I am actually really insulted by that comment. I am a professional woman with over 15 years of administration experience and have no intention of taking up window cleaning. I have no desire to keep hold of customer details - once they have been set up on George they would be destroyed or returned to the client. I am operating this business with the strictest guidelines in place and would never betray anybody's trust. It is a sad thing when people's good intentions are put into doubt before they have even had a chance to prove themselves.

I do not think they was trying to insult you more being honest, you are a new member on here your website is not online and you would be asking people to trust you with the contact details of there window cleaning round and they will not know you.
That would be like me going into a bank and asking to see all there account details and promise to destroy them after I had looked, what would they say ::)
You are asking a lot and I understand where you are coming from but trust has to be earnt.
do you have details of customers you have done work for etc this may help you get some work on here.
Most window cleaners would not give out customer details, data protection etc.
Welcome to clean it up, and I hope you are not put off from replies people will be honest.

A simple search of this forum would have answered alot of the questions you have asked with regard to George, it's use and the amount of users that use it...
Just seems like a very blanket business stab in the dark without any investigation...no offence meant ,just an observation.

Good to see you can take criticism well ;D

Good idea for a scam, I wonder how I could implement that?
Ha ha ha!!! Ur Back!!! Made a million yet???!!!
-
Where are you based Angel?
-
My website is currently under construction and will be available to view next week. This is not a scam nor a stab in the dark - just a genuine offer of assistance to those who dont have the time or skills to carry out such tasks. As you will see once my website is launched, I will be offering a number of different administration services (word processing, audio & copy typing, proof reading, spreadsheet maintenance, research, web design, etc) for those of you brave enough to use them. This is a new business which I have launched in Surrey.

The Angel, good try, but take some good advice and try a different business avenue, because Paul the owner of George software has support which is second to none, and his program is user friendly
-
The Angel, good try but take so good advice and try a different business avenue because Paul the owner of George software support is second to none, and his program is user friendly
Quite, there is the small matter of the business model being illegal of course(data protection), not that that's ever stopped anyone of course.
Yes as the others said, nice try mate, but most on this forum are not as green as they are cabbage looking.

Using George is easy, and if there are any problems, the back up and support is already there,
its a good concept Angel, but already done by George themselves.

if you want the website at the same time please call sooner rather than later as they take time to design and get details from you.

So true too...

It's a good idea Angel, if I knew you I would put some business your way.
You have to understand though where some guys are coming from, you could be working for the inland revenue for all they know. Personally I have nothing to hide, some others may be a little more cautious.

Nothing to do with hiding anything more protecting a round that has been built over years and I guess most would agree with that, I personally dont use george as system I have works fine.
This idea as you say is a good one but asking people to trust there business to a total stranger is another thing even if they are honest I still would not do it as it it private to my comapany and I am sure my customers would not welcome the fact that I gave all there personal details to someone else.
-
I have struggled a bit with "free" george , and understand why I would want somone to help me personally ! When you want to get on and clean windows , and you are trying to be up to date , then the personal touch is worth more than a few quid ! I can understand where this service would be usefull ;D And for all the knockers . . . . . . . . put your brain into gear before your mouth goes into motion !
-
I just looked at the 1st post and it looked like a newly joined member plugging a business venture without doing any research given that most of the questions posed are more than discussed on this site...
Good luck to her and the new venture but I cannot see a real service for inputing customer names, adds, cleaning cycles...etc...
Cheers
Dave.

Thank you to the few of you that left positive comments. I will let you know as soon as my website is up and running. Maybe there will be somebody brave enough to give it a try!!

Don't pay any attention to the mockers - their mother never breast fed them.
Seriously guys give the woman a chance, some of you are so full of it - what happens when you canvass a new area? does the homeowner tell you to get lost? do they enquire that you only want to clean their windows so that you can come around and steal stuff? I suppose none of you get paid by cheque - its got bank details on it too.
Angel is trying to establish a business - she's motivated - the last thing she needs is you lot putting her down.
now I'm really mad.
-
oh yes - pretty typical that one of the very few positive comments came from SJM.
tossers.

I am based in Surrey but it doesnt really matter when it comes to the virtual assistant type of business that I am running as most business can be conducted via email, post or fax.
If there is something you would like to discuss, please feel free to email me on info@adminangel.org.

I can see that some people might have a need for some of your services. Personally, I am reasonably OK at using my chosen computer software and don't need to farm that work out. Good on you for having a go.

Angel, if i did take you up on this, would you manage all of george along with all of the tax/receipts that need to be done each year (like an accountant) so including more than just george, also including things like phone calls to customers (for example, late payments, or scheduling, some of us usually ring customers the day before to confirm). I would have to send you all my receipts for fuel and business equipment. I find george simple and easy to use, it can be irritating loading in new customers, though once its all on there it only takes around 10 minutes to put in the days info such as jobs done etc.. and rescheduling for the next day. I would need to be able to contact you regularly to exchange info via email/fax etc. & be able to do other irregular managing/paperwork tasks if they come up, mostly on computer.
If you can email me about this i would appreciate it. Thanks

Have emailed you - regards.

i think if you posted after your web site was ready u would of had a better responce
i didnt intend to come across rude
-
I don't mind seeming rude, or appearing to think the rest of you are stupid. What would you do if someone bought your round off ebay and then started working it as a result of this?
What would you do? they can prove they bought it and they have all the names and addresses and prices.
You can go to the police but so can they. If they didn't buy it legitamatly how did they get all the details?

You would have to be very thick to do that discount.
the person buying would come unstuck, the person selling would end up in court for fraud and the poor person that bought it would lost out unless they paid with a credit card.
would be a pain in the backside explaning this to customers why someelse has there details and would make you look very bad in there eyes.
I am not stupid nor would I give out all my customers personal details to anyone.

I must be tosser number one then. I thought you were supposed to have a degree? ???
If Angel gave some verifiable details this might be a different matter. I'm sure anyone wanting to do this as a business would have already have thought this through and decided that being able to verify and vouchsafe their trustworthyness would be the number one selling point (after the service itself).
-

I noticed this about you, Discount, but thank you for reminding me ... ;D
-
What would you like me to provide as proof of my trustworthiness? A reference? A letter of recognition? If I am so untrustworthy in so many people's eyes - how would you know that these items wouldn't be fabricated? How can you prove you are a genuine person? Please let me know and I will gladly do it - come to think of it why should I. I know the sort of person that I am and, as stated before, I have no wish to become a window cleaner, nor sell or pass anyone's details on. If you don't believe me don't use the service but please stop damaging my character - as some of you have pointed out on more than one occasion - you don't know me!!

I'm sure a lot, or some wc would like secretarial type help. There is definitely a business there and no reason that it cannot be conducted over the internet.
So full marks for a good idea. If you are genuine great.
Personaly I think you're a bloke though, but as your website is under construction ect there is no way of knowing.

Isn't this a marvelous opportunity for someone to prove me wrong and make me look really small and stupid..........
On the other hand I may have saved someone a great deal of grief. What say you Malc?
-
I think you're over-reacting Discount ... credit forum members with a bit of "nouse"!
And ... if you want to make a point about being careful in your dealings with unknown folk then fine ... but do you need to be so abrasive about it?
-
okay

Not only have already discredited my good intentions but you are now questioning my gender - what on earth makes you think I am a man? Sorry to disappoint but I am a fully fledged woman with children to prove it but you won't be able to confirm that even when my website is up and running as I can assure that there won't be a photograph. Anyway, what sort of man would ever call themselves or their business "Admin Angel" - maybe you shouldn't answer that.

like it :-X lol

Depends what angle "on angel" you've got!
Men with wings (Gabriel, Michael etc) ...
Women with heavenly bodies ... ;D
Messengers (one meaning of angel)
Secretarial help (as in Office Angels)
Fighter aeroplanes (Angels one-niner etc)

angel
when your up and going i will see if you could sort my work out for me ..
i have george but thers to much going on in it for my liking.
depends on your rates as well..
you could maybe work out a new system..
whos to say george isnt hooked up to the taxman.. ive never mate george but i trusted them..
-
Angel - George is really easy and takes no time at all. But I appreciate what your trying to achieve. What about a service that takes calls. I worked for a company who employed one of these and they answer as if they are your office and then email all calls to you, this would save people the hassle and time of taking calls during the day and give the idea of a larger business to clients. I'm sure this could be done easily (a divert to your phone and the number programmed to come up with the name, so you know who to answer as) Add this service to the rest of the services you intend to offer. However with the services you intend to offer I believe there will always be clients for you and you will build a sucsessful business. Good Luck! :)
