If Ive lost half a dozen jobs due to wfp over 4 years then I'd be amazed.
If Ive GAINED two dozen jobs from trad cleaners then I'd probably way short of the actual number gained.
For the record again I clean both trad and wfp. But wfp is my 1st choice on upstairs work.

One old lass said to me once. " Dont think much to that machine"
I said " Why? Is it leaving spots or runs etc"
She said " No it cleans them fine...I just dont like it"
She was however happy for me to continue.
People are strange sometimes. They dont like change. They feel that they are short changed if you use wfp.
Most wake up and smell the coffee sooner or later.

Its best not to think too deeply about customers and their opinions. You can get yourself all paranoid worrying about things like that. Its a percentages game and you have got to accept some losses. Would Alan Sugar be bothered?

Everybody agrees that McDonalds food is rubbish yet people queue up to buy it. WFP is exactly the same IMO. Not great but good enough and its more profitable than trad.

If enough customers pay you to clean their windows WFP then its fine. If some don't like it thats fine too. I am in business to make money, my books are full, my phone never stops ringing.

LOL - I'm only mucking about.

I've never found it difficult to pick up new customers. This month alone I have lost 1 customer through choice (I dumped them), but gained 4 new ones priced at £25, £30, £30 & £40! That's an extra £750 per year (because I clean x8 weeks).

I repeat: wfp gets dumped more often than trad.  And many many threads on this forum support this!  What's your definition of a "cowboy"?

Your statement may well be true Simon.
However, it does not necessarily mean that the customer is justified in doing the dumping.

Hi Shiner, most of what I said yesterday was tongue in cheek. I'd come back from my dearest Aunts funeral and needed to liven myself up a bit. What better way than to have a pop at wfp? It encouraged harmless lively debate and certainly took my mind off things.

Cheers guys

As someone a bit more argumentative than you I thought it was out of character. Sorry for your loss.
