tell her its £40 8 wkly or not at all you cant be messing round like that mate. did she squeak when she walked?

if you let her have her way i bet you end up being there just as long as the £40 clean while she wanders round deciding which 5 windows she wants you to clean!!

dump
oh you cant its not yours yet.....avoid,that will do

[ben smith1234]

havnt spoke to her in person only on the phone. they have a porsche on the drive and still think £40 over 8 weeks is alot of money.

You have given a fair quote, if they don't want to take it then don't bother.

Tight gits  

[Blue Frog Systems]

£50/£60 first clean and then £40/£50 there after. No messing, all or nothing.

Not worth the hassle having her walking you round picking the windows, then you have to remember the ones she said, when your done she will some out and say she wanted the ones you havent done cleaning and not the ones you have.

8 bed house, nice cars and thinks £40 is steep .... your going to get nothing but hassle off this one

[dazmond]

£45 every 2 months ALL windows,frames,sills,doors every time........take it or leave it missus!

some people just take the pee!they can afford it!or they can keep the numpty who does a crap job for £12-50!

step 1... Do the above ^. Then if you start to think about doing the job again, return to step one! and repeat!

Customers like that who pick and choose which and how they want their windows cleaned usually end up being a right pain and it's not like they cannot afford the money.

I've also found that with those types of jobs often it becomes a sort of 'control' thing by the customer.

My advice is to 'pre dump'.

so Avoid would be good advive

No, well yes, but, no but CIU rules state that in such circumstances 'dumping' is the only acceptable action but as the customer isn't yet an official customer, the proper term must be 'pre dump'.

[wightsurf]

Why not explain that you will clean just5 windows each vistit,but its still £40.00
