Title: are we a minority
Post by: jouk45 on June 11, 2009, 02:28:06 am
are we really a miority using wfp, i think we are, although we use the forums it seems like every window cleaner is thinking about it or starting up. but reality is, we are a minority, out of the hundreds of thousands of window cleaners in the uk, when ever i meet a w/c in my area, and get to talking of wfp, they have that look on there face like i was a mad man  ::) they are lost, they dont even understand what the heck am talking about, as a matter of fact most of them dont even use a computer, dont get me wrong, i make a good  living from wfp, but with frequently going on all the forums over the years, i thought that  all w/c knew  about wfp, has anyone else come across this

You're right.
People on here go on like it's the norm, but it's not.

I get people coming out of houses and asking questions about it on nearly a daily basis.

Someone I spoke to yesterday was visiting from Surrey and had never seen it before.
And I think that says it all!

Quite a lot around Guildford way.

5 years ago I was the only one using wfp in my area, now I see at least 10 different wfp cleaners every day.

Wfp is growing and in 10 years time it will be the normal method of cleaning windows and finding a ladder only cleaner will be rare to spot, apart from the high street shops cleaners. 

I also think that attracting new customers will also be harder to get.
