-
If hes smaller than you do it
If hes bigger dont
Hope that helps
-
ye thanks for that lol
-
just explain your running a business and was asked to quote for a job, the occupier is un happy with your service so they have asked me to clean hem.
tell him your not targetting is work but if you get calls to quote and pick up the jobs you will clean them.
he may threaten you but it will all be hot air 99% of the time, and if you are to start a business you will have to step on someones toes just try not to be underhand and make sure you do a good job and you should be fine.
-
Do the house,dont worry about him moaning i wouldnt.if he phones again just say tuff and then put the phone down on him. ;)
-

If i was that guy.... i would have been too ashamed to call the new window cleaner...
knowing that , he knows the customer thought i was crap and did not do a good job....
he has got a nerve ringing you actually!..... what does he expect if he is rubbish at his job...
clean it... show him how it should be done... ;)
-
i just dont want the c..p of him you know what people sre like ;D ;D ;D
-
i cleaned a new house the other day... a window cleaner comes strutting over to me...
"ere , mate... have you got this job through leafletting" ?
I said, no... yellow pages why?....
he said oh right mate... just wondered .. and walked off.
Strange man.
i wish i had have leafletted now.... then i could have asked him if he " Owned " the area. :(
-

i got a call from a window cleaner on macc road the other week ronnie...wasnt you was it :)
Threatening that i shouldnt leaflet drop etc...do you know anyone who works there?? sounded asian? but i may be way off there could of just been a really bad manc accent...
-
how did he know you took the job? i guess the customer must have told him.
Why would a customer give your details out to him in order for him to call you?
Some people! calls you again explain that you will meet up with him and chat about it, dont be threatening but soon as you say that he might realize that your not intimmidated and if he keeps it going go round every street in that area and canvass it!
-
im not that little
-
just joke ing , but how did he get your No ????
-
i gave her a leaf let as i left and she must of given it to him good eee
-

I keep seeing "david wood window cleaning" vans all round there, they are like locusts in the morning they do nearly every shop on a6 between hazel grove & stocky and crap loads of houses!! Its getting really cramped with window cleaners now,we should go round and get them all out and split in half between us - hazel grove that is ;)
-
david works on is own think is dad helps him out every now and then unless he has expanded.
He is alright dave i bought my first bit of work of him.
I used to be jelous when i seen comapny with loads of vans or doing well but know i know there is more than enough for everyone some will do better than others and i know which bracket im in so im happy.

I know Dave Wood fairly well and he's a member of this forum as it happens. He got me started, showed me the ropes. Will be working with him on saturday in Stockport.
-
I want bad mouthing him :) just commenting that i seen em alot this week :) Im not jealous (honest), no really, just working out who is in the area im in to find the little toerag who is trying to threaten people, i know its not ronnie or dave as they have no need too...

Hello fellas, popped in from Carpet Cleaning section and was compelled to read this thread ......... take it from me, this bloke would not ring if he meant you harm.
He is trying to bluff you off job with loud noises, we all know that if we were wound up that much then we would just turn up and get it sorted ........... people who tell you what they will do are normally VERY unlikely to follow it up.
If they grow some and do turn up, then they should be in for a surprise as you should be prepared ;)

I told the guy where to find my address, on the website but he hasnt been round :)
Just interested to find him, i so badly wanna nick his work hahaha he has asked for it :)
-
Good for you ......... had similar before and when you say that address is on website so feel free to pop by it does throw them a bit ........... adding that he should bring a mate to help him or to get his van back for him is something i found as a good additive to the conversation ;D
-
