Dear customer,

Re Window Cleaning

With effect from DDMMYY, the new price will be £ ......

Many thanks,

John.

I dont do a letter as such. i wait until a time the custy is not home and then write on thier bill....   "please note a small price increase from next visit to £?" That way i dont get into customer haggling, awkwardness etc. if they really dont like it im sure they will let you know.

Starting to put prices up tomorrow on a 80 house round I do. Was a round of 50 when I bought it and way to cheap but everyone gotta start somewhere  :)

Wont all be going up as ones i canvassed are good prices but the origianals are too cheap

all the 50p's getting rounded up and the £7 going up to £8

been putting it off as all close together but think time is right

i jacked my prices up by just writing "new price=          on the slips. had a few sqwark  but the way i look at it,its hardly going to break the bank is it now. 

 some of the whingers on my round seriously need a taster session with the local "big boy " firm, im forever hearing of how he deals with wasters ,no messing for sure

think you get to a point and then u think not having it anymore .. happened to me a few months back now have zero tolerance for messers and bad payers (fecked them all off) ... its like a disease if u let a messer in then it spreads so now cull em straight off ... like that copper from Northeast Ray Mallon - RoboCop took no messing and introduced zero tolerence policing .... apparently crimes fell by massive amounts ... some may think its extreme but the way I look at it is like when u are getting loads of women its dead easy to pull on a night out and u just keep getting more and more ... like ur giving out subconciousl signals and i think window cleaning is the same ... work for divies / crackpots / messers / chancers / poor payers / general idiots then these people are attarcted to you however it works the other way have quality customers and i think quality follows ..... so there you have it my theory on why window cleaning is like sex  :D

Thats exactly how I do it, don't make a big thing of it.. just a small note on their bill saying the price wil be £xx as from the next clean is all thats needed.
