Title: spotted 2 new WC'ers today
Post by: matt on June 11, 2009, 02:34:27 pm
i was cleaning a few houses on a estate and i spot a guy up a nice and shiney new wicks ladder

then in about 45 mins, i turn the corner to spot another guy up a ladder

i dont know if they are undercutting or what, but these 2 were allways done by some1 else, seemed a little strange

I got a £250 job every 12 weeks, £24 every 12 weeks and a £10 every 6 weeks! all of this today and they all approached me!!
There are new w/c's around but it goes to show that people and business' are still going for  recommended established companies.

I see new window cleaners around all the time,who cares,there not taking any of my work,theres plenty for everyone!
As for B&Q ladders we all started off with them,don't knock them because they're probobly starting up a buisness and will get a set of Ramseys in a few years time,if they are undercutting they won't last long but if they are genuine guys good luck to them.

It's that time of year again 8)
Every year out comes the summer sun and out comes those who fancy getting a sun tan whilst doing a bit of window cleaning.
A good half of those who start about this time don't see past October when the 'Fun' goes out of it. ;D
