sorry dont mean to prattle on and not trying to lecture. but i am a sarcastic bugger and i really have to put in an effort not to retaliate sometimes but it works for me.

and the amount of work ive picked up where the other cleaner was an ignorant sod is unreal. sometimes its not about how well you can clean windows but how you sell yourself

its funny when you hand someone a leaflet and they say no thanks ive got a window cleaner, and go to close the door, and you say can i have my leaflet back then!

and there like or yeah ok,

well i'd rather give it to the next person than going in your bin love!

i know they're only 1/2p each but still!

see i think thats madness as well. she might take the leaflet and leave it somewhere. then realise her window cleaner is rubbish so who does she call not you because she doesnt have your number ;) so she puts up with the existing w/c till someone polite turns up canvassing.

its a business your building guys not just a job. i have hold my tongue sometimes but it pays off

maybe if your desperate for the work, that would be a good idea to leave a leaflet, but thankfully its all been recommendations for me since, and a bit of advertising. so no skin off my nose  ;D

I had one like that too.  Customer shouted at me, I CLEAN THEM MYSELF, WHY WOULD I WANT TO WASTE MONEY?  Windows were a state and I said back "Do you want me to show you how to do them properly?"  he looked stunned.
