wet weather
« on: January 17, 2012, 10:31:28 pm »
I am a bit envious of people with over 150 monthly customers, I only have about sixty and i struggle to get them done every month because of the rain. Does everyone stop work in the wet weather ? Im in south west Scotland.

i used to be like that when first started but that was more because i didnt have loads of work so thought i leave it today cuz looks like it mite rain,but i new i could catch up back then,now if i dont go out clean in rain or wind etc i no iv just lost money as will struggle pull it back,custy get used to seeing you working in all weather after a bit i still get some who say didnt think you'd be working today,like you say fook em

If a customer comments on me working in the rain I always say it makes no difference to the quality of the clean if it's raining - and offer to go back if they aren't happy when it's dry
So far in two years zero callbacks
I've got over 250 customers and could easily cover these in 3wks chap

and  (sitting here listening to the rain pelting down on my windows ironically)  to point out
within reason you dont come just on sunny days to keep the price fair to them
i:e if you worked less you would have charge more per clean to cover costs and so on
