Trying to be everything to a select few. First, she needs to find potential custies with the patience to listen to the over sensative put on voice tone. Then by the time it gets to the end of the message, they still need to be interested.

They later find out that prices "are from" as little as 3:50 a week, which will mean a 4 weekly clean would be from 14 quid, this has the effect of making people feel they've been duped, extra so when they get a quote of over 14 quid.

Look the lady up in 6 months time, if she's still there and see how it's going. However, I'm out  ;D

She's still got more chance of making it than the competition I've got where I am. Surrounded by absolute mongs here, (Luckily)  ;D

It made Mrs Bacon angry, as she works with me and isn't happy about being insulted by "this tart lady"  ;D She didn't get past about half of the waffle. So after about 5 minutes, told me to turn it off.

Adjusted due to possible offence being taken . ;)

LOL!! Just did the wifey test.

Got two minutes in and I got "oh my God, do I have to listen to this any longer?"

Wasn't sure if it would have the same effect on the girls but it clearly does! :D

she must be mad, i wanted to watch the whole thing to find out what she is on about if she thinks a potential customer will listen to that she has another thing coming.


what on earth is she even selling? she is on about this internal cleaning kit and micro fiber cloth , what has she got in the bottle anyway? and thats £20,

then somesort of window cleaning service which is from £14 a month which is pretty much the going rate in some cases too much for example my £15 houses  are the same price 2 monthly so hers would be £28,

No, she will replenish the empty bottle free of charge. What she is telling her customers is that she doesn't clean inside windows. Buy the kit, clean them yourself and when the bottle is empty she will replace it. I bet she won't replace it if they cease to be 'delighted' with their external cleans and cancel.   :)

Her talking about a service for as little as £3.50 a week doesn't mean anything other than that it isn't expensive - clean windows for just 50p a day sounds even more affordable.

We had a advert on the radio overseas in the early 1990's. Ford was marketing their new Laser (Mazda 323 rebadged) with a 1.6 fuel injected engine. It was the slowest 0 - 60 in it's class, but the marketing boys phrased it as "0 to 100kph in one deep breath."  That changed everything. That Ford was fast.
Its not facts anymore, its what the customer perceives/imagines it to be.

There is a mark on the bottom left of the window frame (on the right) that you may not have noticed; but one of our operators David Halford did. The whole window must now be re-cleaned, then checked again before he signs to say the job has been done.

There are 12 more checks to be carried out on each individual window, on every home that vue window cleaning services. Some of the windows checked are re-cleaned for marks that are barely visible to the naked eye.

what the hell is she joking?
a customer can keep you at a window all bloody day

It is Julie Philips from concept2o, she is actually a very nice woman.

I know the vid is long winded, but for all we know, it could be working very nicely for her

She is running a very successful franchise business as well as selling wfp systems, she also actually frequents this forum, and some of the comments are not very nice at all, she definately is not "a tart"

I wouldn't be happy if some one spoke about my wife like that

If you're offended by the girl being called a "tart" by Mrs bacon, I'll lock her in a dark room for 20 minutes, would that be ok?  :D

I think maybe most are missing the point.

There is a market for high end customers who are a little obsessive about the work done for them.
Professional business women who like things 'just so'
I don't suppose for a second that the visits will be every 4 weeks they will be much longer.

The 'gifts' and spray work well to draw customers in. I have tried it in the past.

As I asked earlier, it would be interesting to hear how she sees her business alongside Concept2o.

Concept2o is marketing WFP equipment to window cleaners on one hand and then telling the public that the window cleaner, who has bought their equipment (invested in their equipment), does shoddy work and they would be better off availing themselves of the services of her window cleaning service.

She "wants to have her cake and eat it" as the expression goes. She can't say that this isn't a conflict of interests, as she is using the same address and I would guess the young lady taking the enquiries would answer for Concept2o as well.

And, I don't know Julie at all and am sure she is a very nice person - for me this is a seperate issue.

I have listened to her advert and tbh I felt a little insulted. She's painting all window cleaners with the same brush. I personally would have been very annoyed had I invested in their expensive equipment and was situated in the same locality as them and then heard this.

I'm sure when she comes on here as she does from time to time, according to forum mods anyway, she'll be quick to apologize for painting us all with the same brush.  :)
