No time to do last 4 jobs skip em or return next day ?
« on: October 19, 2011, 06:31:46 pm »
Nearly finished off a round today just 4 jobs to go but out of time so normally I would just go back and do them tomorrow but then it has a knock on effect for rest of month - what does everybody else do ?

I could go and do them tomorrow morning then drive to start next round but would basically loose half day by doing them then driving to next round as few miles apart.

So do I look after the customer or do I follow the dosh and start next round ?

if you need the money go where its best, otherrwise nip back tomorrow, could you not pull in a hour or so each day to get your time back,

 ??? ???

Im lost, what do you mean?

May I hazard a guess? Do you allocate a particular day in the month/week/rounds cycle for each property to be cleaned in?

do them tomorrow mate.i try and work my round from a-z in the same order give or take a few 8 weekly stand alones.surely 4 jobs wont take you that long to do?then move on to your other work and try and speed up and get them done all in one day.surely you dont have that much work that you have to work flat out 9-5 every day?

if you do you ll get fed up with this job.try and be a little more flexible.itll do you good! ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

i have to say i am lost as well ??? ???
if they are your customers you just go back and do them
its a no brainer
or carry on missing people out "this month" and watch your round wither and die

If your round is that full that you can't catch up on four jobs you will have big problems when the real bad weather gets here  ;D ;D


if you dont already work saturday or sunday do them then simple

Sorry thought I had explained it but been a long crappy day  :(

Basically got 4 jobs left on this part of round so if I return to area to finish them and then drive to next round it will cost me money by too much driving so loss of time on the glass ... 2 areas are fair few miles apart ... normally I would just go back to area not finished, did them then go onto next round but just wondering what others did.

i.e. look after the customer or look after your pocket

approx 40 miles or an hour so about 3 to 4 houses
