Quote:

'Our highest earning day ever on ladders was £600 and £870 using water fed pole, yep you read right.'


That says the real reason for the article.

Drop a hint about concept 2o and mention how much money can be allegedly earnt even if it was just one day.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

I find it harder to believe that running around in a Smart Car is worthwhile!  He's got a 50L tank in their!  That would last us an hour i think  ???

I read the article in the latest window cleaning magazine.he s basically saying if you have a DIY system you ll die skint!you all need to fork out for a pro system at 4 times the cost of a DIY SET UP.he says it's all down to attitude. we should be lining his pockets instead.

Also PPB gets talked about again. ::)roll ;D

price higher/work harder!

to be fair what he is saying is if you treat WC as a business, and take it to it's full potential you can make a lot of money.

i have no doubt they have hit those max daily turnovers that they quote.  i myself did over £800 on a day before christmas this year.  it is definately not my typical day tho (it practically killed us!), and £850 is not Concept2Os typical day also.  it does show what you can achieve.

WC can be any type iof business you wish.  can be extra cash on the side, or it can be a money making machine run from an office.  Julie and Carl @ concept 2O have developed their business into a a money making machine.

Sorry Ian.  I'll stick to 'What brush should I get for cleaning [X]" posts, or perhaps "what pole do you recommend for [Y]  :D

i think the secret of earning more money is using the lightest brush  ::)roll

You would find Richard I don't just have a smart car I have three vans and a smart car for shop fronts, test cleans, quotes and publicity! I bet I get more work from my smart car then you get in all your advertising put together

that makes more sense than using them as a WC vehicle.  you'd have to refil them every hour wouldn't you?

really interesting to hear that you pick up a lot of business from the car tho.  is that from leaving it parked in hi vis spots?

It has 75 litres and can go 5 hours for regular cleans wfp tops trad bottoms, I just need to pull up pull a pole out and start cleaning, everyone comes over to ask how!

that would only last us 2 hrs.  we dont trad bottoms tho.

interesting idea if it brings in a lot of work tho...

Clearly you only do little houses! Try doing big commercial you will learn to make your water last

 ???  we're pretty good on water conserving to be honest.  we just work fast.  that's the best way to conserve water

if the Smartcar works for your business good luck to you.

if we were doing more quotes it might be of interest
