Title: George and total earnings?
Post by: ftp on April 03, 2009, 07:57:14 pm: How accurate have you found your predicted earnings to be with George? Mine seem to have been a fair bit less than last years forecast. How about you?

If you have lost slightly more work than you have gained, your income will be down on the forecast. Similarly, if you have slipped behind for whatever reason, say you will have only cleaned a two monthly 5.8 times instead of 6 times for example in a year leading to less earnings.

Cheers
Dave.

You've obviously had new customers, lost customers, off ill, bank holidays, Christmas, bad weather etc etc.
They all impact on the total earnings. When I first predicted mine it's ended up nothing like it's ended, just take it as a rough guide to what you can achieve if you never have a day off and none of your customers have holidays or say "leave it this month"

Post by: pingu on April 04, 2009, 08:42:02 am: I normally run a year forcast off at the start of the new year and then try and beat all monthly totals ....was a bit difficult this jan/feb though...

George can not possible predict the human factors...just the data provided...as they say SISO.
