Ive had dozens and dozens of bad customers over the years to get where i am today.

But like Daz says a lot of the time you can tell, quite a few times ive been doing a new one walked in the garden and thought shes not gonna pay and half the time im right. Quite a few doss holes round here unfortunately.

Bad payers come from anywhere as do messers but sometimes you just know and youve only yourself to blame.

Im Ltd so i dont understand how MTD works exactly as it wont apply to me.

Ive tried squeegee a few times and think its crap, cleaner planner is so clean and simple to use, i didnt like squeege at all it but i guess if you have to switch then you will have to get used to it.

Isnt there a way to continue to use cp and another software or is it all a faff now with mtd?

As for slips, just get a load of leaflets printed daz as above, i got 20k a few years ago for £120 and ive still got a box full in the shed. All i do on the first job of the day is write the price on a handfull, crack off them jobs then write another handfull its maybe a couple extra minutes a day to write a price on but it beats printing you`ll spend more time in faff and ink doing it your way.

What do you mean print a worksheet? Surely you don’t manually print your days work onto paper these days Daz?

There’s a few different ways to work with Squeegee. Personally I just have all my jobs in 1 big round and work from the ‘overdue’ tab and mark each job off as done and then again when paid.

You could also put each job into different rounds if you work that way.

I don’t print anything off though, that’s just creating extra paperwork that isn’t needed imo.

Download it and have a play. I did with cleaner planner and didn’t get on with CP at all.

No I don't print worksheets but i print my workday slips out every evening to post through my customers doors after I clean them.

I love cleaner planner. Its just fantastic and very simple to use.

Really don’t understand needing to manually print off individual customers slips these days, I thought you were all about simplifying things, sound like another faff to me.

I get 5k ‘windows cleaned’ slips printed at a time, they last me a few years and have my add ons on there too.

I have individual slips with their details on,how much they owe me,last clean date,etc( so I don't have to write the price on them or the date with a pen)

Far easier having a big bunch of slips and writing ‘£25’ or ‘£30’ and posting than sending a worksheet from CP, turning on printer, printing off, cutting sheet down and posting but each to their own.

I could do that from squeegee too but no chance I’d add extra time to my day for the same result.
