Define successful window cleaner Ewan, one-man-band window cleaner.

[Dave Willis]

If you need to ask then you don't know.

[gewindows]

Do you know what Ewan thinks is a successful window cleaner?

[Dave Willis]

Only those in the know know. Ewan doesn't know you know so no I don't know that Ewan knows. I don't think Ewan knows what makes a successful window cleaner you know. So if you do know Ewan then let us know - yes or no?

LOL,

Monday I saw 4 men get out of an estate car and clean a house close to one of my customer, they charge half the money I charge and only clean it in half the time it takes me alone to clean my customers house.

You do the math.


Do you want more examples, I have loads.

I'm pretty sure i remember you quoting something like you cleaned a £20 property in 20 mins, so if they done a £10 one in 10 mins they're still quids in, irrespective of what if any vehicle they got out of?

I seen 4 guys out near me.Dont know how they make it pay,three of them are probably on dole and get £30 cash in hand.One guy loo like had nt wash for a year. They didnt seem to cover their work 4 time quicker.Ladders with broken rungs and worn out feet and their scrims look filthy.They use to do my neighbours houses. I think a maximum of 2 on a property is enough bet they miss loads of windows as well thinking some one else has done them.

 I don;t know why the OP is suprised at lost time. It certainley has to be factored in, if anyone thinks they're gonna be working, or rather earning 5 days a week 48 weeks a year in this game then they need to think again. Thats the gist of it innit?

Ewan then let us know

Ay, it is.

 What would you regard as successful?  

[dazmond]

[GB Window Cleaning]

hope im not cheeky asking!

Regards g.b

[clearlyclean]

I lost time today because my battery went flat and could'nt be bothered to get the ladders off and clean them trad at 4 pm go back in morning and finish the job...Does that make me unsuccessful as a window cleaner.

What would you regard as successful?  

I don’t think successful window cleaners ask how to price what’s already within the capability and resources. They would already know how to deal with spotting on the glass, and wouldn’t procrastinate over the cost of peripheral equipment that’s important to the job.

More importantly they wouldn’t personalise or have to ask the definition of success regarding window cleaning.

It’s not a mystery or a secret; it is something that can be learned by most people.

He probably asked you Ewan because lets face it your more than cryptic. Thats why I asked anyway.

Anyway, Im successful.
