A customer wants the best job for the least money. Same as us with our purchases. Surely us professionals are skilled & efficient enough to to out quality a newbie?
I charge £7.50 for 3 beds & can clear £200 a day regularly. The quad makes me quick but constantly seeking faster better ways to clean means you're always ahead. ( anybody tried wfp & Hoover for inside jobs?)

don't judge a book by its cover, we're not all newbies, I still use an estate car after years of window cleaning, I don't want to have to run two vehicles and do I really need a van to carry a few scrims??

I think the problem is that a lot of people turn to window cleaning as a stopgap because the building trade has gone flat or they have been laid off.
The problem is they don't view it as a permanent thing, its just a way of getting by so they don't really care about what they do or how they go about getting customers.

Building a round takes time so the obvious way to fast track the process is to undercut.

you can fast track biulding a round by undercutting, but not a good round. I think if you want to do anything fast it has to be canvassers and leaflet dropping, as much and as often as you can afford.

I know loads of wc's that use cars and have been doing it longer than me, it is what makes your business work that counts all people are different and all have different goals in life, i went from cars to vans for a reason, was good business sence for me to do it.
