I am pleased that I have made it to 100 the bad news however is I have 300 to go as most of the fxxxxxs are 8 weekly.. That's life
 

[Steve Sed]

As longbas those 8 weekly are priced at around 50% more than if they were 4 weekly, you will be laughing eventually.

[Pope vader]

darren  why are you offering 8 weekly,

[Ian101]

well done mate ... keep going !!

[Smudgeoff Cleaning Services]

Ori
I needed the work at the time and the custys here don't want 4wks mate.


Thank you v much H2o  . I will do

[Pope vader]

just offer 6 weeks from now on,  this is the problem with wc offering 8 weeks, custys think that they can demand it from every wc going, 

[sunshine windows]

A customer is entitled to request whatever frequency they want. Just charge it accordingly and everyone's happy. I've got a handful on my books that are 4 monthly but are priced very well.

Just keep on doing your own thing Darren and you'll soon have a round full of well priced work

As you are past the 100 mark you can backpeddle a little ,id now stop offering 8weekly, say 4 or 6 and stand firm,most will then grab at 6

 A guy in my area set up this Spring who i hear was offering WEEKLY 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc whatever they wanted  AND specific day of arrival AND texting  the night before. in my opinion he was making a rod for his own back ,too chummy by far ,

i heard last week  he has closed up,  could be he was too flexible and got milked for his trouble
 i really believe you should set your stall out and then stand by it

Some guys have a full round with 100 customers!its true that u can charge more for 8weekly.I'm currently taking more of these on at better prices but I have lots of monthly work as well which is good bread and butter work.

6weekly seems a good compromise.most of my work is monthly/every other month.some 6weekly.one every 26 weeks!(church)well priced.

Keep canvassing and leafleting pal!

why do people do 6 weekly ect, all my customers are every two weeks,all well priced,all the monthly work i have bought converted them to two weeks for same price,so if you charge £10 a house every two weeks change to 6 weeks then say £30.how do you work it,ive picked a lot of work up last week phone call wfp doing every 4weeks wouldn't do fortnight so customer got me 8 houses.suppose if customers  want alternative weeks up to them.

  I think you must confuse the customers into every 2 weeks by your lack of paragraphs and punctuation.

What the customer wants the customer gets. You wouldn't stand a chance with 2 weekly round here, they don't even want monthly. Most of mine are 6 or 8 weeks. If you think £10 for a house is well priced its because you are locked into a loop high frequency and low prices go hand in hand.

Try quoting a few at £15 every six weeks and see how you get on. You need more customers but you wll increase your daily rate by 50%

[michael o]

£10 a house was just a example  sorry

[Smudgeoff Cleaning Services]

Thanks for all your responses. 

Darren

hopefully see you all at the next 100. 

[michael o]

well done darren,ater 20 years hard slog got 800 customers

[Tom White]

What the customer wants the customer gets.

Only if it fits in with how I work and they're prepared to pay.

Yes but Michael you haven't mentioned the fact your trad! I'm wfp and offer 3 weekly blocks I:e 3 6 9 12. I try my best to put them on 6 weekly but most insist on 3

[Dave Mills]

Whatever you do, dont offer 6 and 8 weekly.  Organising your round will be a nightmare. 4 and 8 works, 5 and 10 works, 6 and 12 works but not 6 and 8.  Youll be all over the place.

ste m been wfp for a month now
