We've just managed tp sign up a chain of 8 motor dealer/garages.
More expensive than the previous lot too, nice extra £2k a month.

South East maybe, not South West.

I haven't lost one, and I've gained in 3 months what I usually get in something like 2 years.

I've had a few cut back in the last two weeks but picked up a few new ones so about even. I have had an awful lot of customers tell me that they have been approached by other window cleaners offering to undercut there current one but so far they have been sent packing. But like it or not there is a recession and sooner or later you will find it out! It might turn out to be a blessing and some will pick work up as people look to make savings they will seek more competative prices

I agree with that, some of the prices they charge down here are well over & when we chat they are moaning thet are loosing a few already.
