had 2 cancel this evening because of price rise.2 out of around 150 customer price rises is not too bad!all the others accepted.
one was a 3 bed semi with large side extension and small conny.it was well underpriced!on an estate i clean.i was charging £8 for it monthly.since i went wfp i clean frames,sills,doors and window above conny.
i said to him i will have to put them up to a tenner monthly or £12 two monthly.he said "we ll look around for another window cleaner!"ive been cleaning his windows for over 10 years!!
he really seems to dislike the fact ive got a sign written van,uniform and wfp and want to charge more for the windows.i do a cracking job of the windows and i used to get on with him fine.i dont think he likes the idea that im doing ok for myself!
another one around the corner small 3 bedder with an awkward back bedroom window over a small back room extension.i wanted to up it from £6 to £7!she said no thats too expensive!!been cleaning hers for around 5 years!!
i must admit ive dumped some of this estate work over the last 6 months or so as i seem to be picking up better paying 2 monthly work a mile or so away from these houses.
you win some,lose some but im winning more than losing overall!!!
