theres the motivational speech......

[Leeroy]

i have 371 custs. on a serious note do you think this is a lot of custs for the amount of money the houses are all diferent sizes i have sum houses which are 40 ish quid in hindhead but if you knw the area there not small but there not massive.   im alwaystold my prices are quite gud by other windies maybe there pulling my leg. im doing the 10 k leaflet drop cus i was up for a big amount of work so i cud help my bro out with work his 19 so at the mo he 800 a month which is half of the run nin costs hell be getting let go soon if icant swing things around and if a serious buyer comes in id just flog and start again without the overheads

the running costs are fuel 400 easy and 600 on van and ins and equipment and advertising which i will stop as its rubbish.
I actually remember hating it last winter does any1 else struggle like this or do i need to re evaluate the round.

I am only 24 and have limited no how with running a buisness i thought id be the nuts cus i was a great sales manager so i thought lol but it seems i havealot to learn i do genuinley own this round and have worked bl@@dy hard to get here but it doesnt seem worth it. im entrigued to know what you think about the 371 custs tho

£5k for the lot

[Daniel12]

call it 30k and il let you have the van and system as a thanks for bein so generous 

[Sean Dyer]

2 of you cant get round it?

i think you are right to give up

[Matthew Bateman]

 

You claim you cant get round the work but are advertising and canvassing and leafleting for more work  

Is your other user name Lee Gilroy?

[Stewart01]

I would say with that kind of turn over theres a sound business in there somewhere that could be turned around, what i did to get through my work was go to traditional on bottom windows only during the snow and ice, i knocked off a few quid as the customer would expect but its enabled me to get the round done in half the time and still earn a crust, as it stands all my work is upto date all my customers are happy and ive called it a day until after christmas. In the new year if i were you id canvass between the areas your working to pull the round together more and optimise travel time £400 is a hefty monthly fuel bill for a domestic round?? i i dont really think any advertising that you pay for gets great results in this trade apart from leaflets so if you are paying for anything else scrap it asap to save abit more money, you have a good turn over and more customers than you can cope with so its not needed.

Why dont you and your bro join forces and tackle the work load together instead of independantley?

[wightsurf]

 have a good look at the areas , and sale areas that are slowing you down in travel.Compact the round together and build in areas that you can cover more easily.
Don't spread yourself out to quick.

[Daniel12]

thanks for your 2 posts that makes gud sense

[dazmond]

sounds one hell of a round!not many of us pull in 5 grand a month window cleaning.why would you not make money?and if you was that good at sales and stuff how come you cant spell properly?

it all sounds too good to be true!!and it probably is!!!


another charlatan methinks!! : :

[Daniel12]

obviously a crap salesman     gotta love the support you get from some people

[prestige cleaners]

yeah i dont believe you either, window cleaning has the lowest overheads you can imagine.

 the only thing that could have happened is you were ripped off on the round, paid big bucks for it and cant pay it back?

or your a gambler, druggie, big house owner, shopaholic or all?

Don't hold back dirty windows .................. say what you really think. 

[prestige cleaners]

i do feel bad for you if you were ripped off, but just tell the truth, most of us can see it?

[Dave Willis]

Funny, I thought you would have 1600 customers 

[Daniel12]

i was told by a fellow window cleaner what to charge with the wfp i figured i could do 250 a day after working with him so i went and canvassed 5days a week worth or work my over heads are debt, van and equipment etc..  i was told what to charge by another window cleaner. im offended as wouldnt lie over a size of round if any1s got a reasonable offer id be more than happy to take you round and meet custs and see my round checker for proof... its probably best sold in parts tho as many people prob havnt got 15k at the moment

[Leeroy]

Give you £5k for the round

[darren clarke]

[Daniel12]

a 1 yr old trafic and purefreedom equipment  with gardiner poles two man setup
