Well for me, having my van sign written was a first rate move, it has without doubt paid for itself several times over.
I get very few phone calls as a result of it, but I regularly have people come over to the van as a result of it.
Often when sat in a supermarket car park!
I have no idea why Squeaky after 10 years only has enough work to just about fill up 4 days a week.
In all of my years window cleaning I have always picked up work without having to canvas for it (apart from when first building my round up of course) and there is not a week goes by without someone wanting a price.
Four years ago I had wound my round right down, was totally disenchanted with window cleaning, had just enough work to get by on, was barely turning over 15k a year.
Changed to WFP, regained my enthusiasm and now (without any active canvassing whatsoever) have so much work I can't get around it all in a month (domestic that is, not the commercial stuff).
I have no real complaints about WFP, far from it in fact, most of the comments I get are very positive, I even have one account that squeaks once had - who in Squeaks time utterly loathed WFP - who now loves WFP, and pays me a great deal more than she was paying Squeaky.
Perhaps my customers like WFP because I have total belief in it (and a full awareness of its negative points too I might add) and somehow project that in my demeanor.
Oh well, I'm late now, time to get my backside into work!
