I want to canvass now to get custys. Im wonderin if I should try and get them on 5 week rotas to avoid them thinking It comes round too soon and avoid the " can you leave it this time" brigade. When I was trad back in 80's most of my work was 2 weekly apart from the big detached and commercials .Things have changed a lot since then. I would prefer to build round up slowly as Im only part time yet so no panic. To be fair I cleaned my own windows 6 weeks ago and there still ok so am happy that wfp stay clean for longer. I wont push 2 weekly cleans unless asked specificly so custy not under pressure..
Good punctuation and grammar, makes the difference between helping your uncle Jack, off a horse & helping your uncle, jack off a horse. ;D

I gotta say that 4 weeks comes around before you know it and the custs can think your back so quick.  This was became less an issue as I went to 6-8 weeks though.

when i get a new custy i always offer them 4 weekly or 8 weekly , most opt for 4 weekly, that way they feel like they made the decision and dont complain, i had one lady stop me last week and ask me if i could do her windows every 4 weeks as the window cleaner she has now will only do them every 8 weeks and she wanted them done more regular  :P

totally agree, I had a lady tonight ask the same thing, some pople like them never dirty, thats totally fine with me, I offer both 4 or 8 weekly and have done ever since I started, there are a lot of 8 weeklys which is fine with me, I like structure to my work also standing orders :)

I had a lady tonight ask for a price, we do 6 weeks as a default but offer other frequencies.

Her 6 weekly price was £24.00.

I offered it to her at £30 as well for an 8 weekly frequency, which she jumped at. Its a 3 bedder.

I thought that was exceptionally intuitive of her, as it means we'll be earning top dollar when we do her place  :D
