Big chains like Tescos tend to go for big companies that do other branches, sometimes they are window cleaners who do nothing but all the branches within a certain radius.

Anyway, you've still got more commercial than I've picked up in 4 and a half years on my own.

Really ive been going just over 1year now but recently picked up alot more pubs due to the fact that 1 of the pubs i do the manager owns another 5 so ive made him a deal.
But i just wanna pick up more factorys for mayself so i can start early and finish early . i mean i dont think some of my customers would like me to climb up a ladder at 6 in the morning.
So by doing factorys and stuff i can start at 6 and be finished for dinner.
Thanks for that anyway about tesco i thought thats what they tend to do

For larger premises put on a uniform (not a nurses uniform ;D) or dress smart casual, ask at reception who you need to contact regarding window cleaning. If you can't see them there and then, write in or e-mail.

Follow up with a phone call to make an appointment to explain what you do.

Keep calling every three months and do not give up!
It's a game of three halves!
