Here guys listen to this . We have a new wc starting out in our area. What this guy is doing is when door knocking, and the custy saying they have a window cleaner he is asking who they are then saying to them that they arnt trading anymore with a cock a ball story. Also he has been know to be watching other cleaners whilst cleaning to find out wich company is cleaning, so that he can tell there custys when he knocks that they aint trading any more and that he has taken over. This came from one of my good custy Cant wait to bump into him ....

It's happened to me a couple of times over the years. I've also had chancers turning up on my work telling the custys I've asked them to take over as I can't cope with all the work I've got.
They usually end up targetting the wrong man and get a slap = end of problem. If any of your custies have been conned into changing, just tell them he's a con-man and it's not true. They'll come back to you and tell the other one to get lost. If they don't, they weren't worth hanging onto in the first place.

It anoyes me as i have worked and canvassed hard to get my custies. And i have full respect for my fello window cleaners. As i know it aint that easy to put together a nice size round quickly. Thank god all the custys i have seem very loyal. I am also finding it hard to get good prices as most of the wc are charing £5 glass frames and sills a month for a 3 bed house . So its taking some time for me to get more i seem to have stuck at 70 These all being 10 - 15 quid a 3 bed house wich i think is good.
Hopefully my website will pull some work in too.

I did it myself, just make sure you have the right tag words in your metatags.
I will alter the website slightly each week. this helps with the listings.
