Come onto the internet and ask for advice.

Tell him I'm a WC. Take his card & wish him all the best.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

Haha I do love a £6 front on a row of terraces that's true. I seem to remember pulling about 15 detached in a street at my happy place. Last time I see you

I'd answer the door as untill I'd opened the door and spoke to him, I wouldn't know why he'd called.

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 have a real distaste for cold callers (sorry Mr Bizz). I don't care if they are trying to sell me newspapers, windows, politics or religion my default response is to tell them to go away.

A window cleaner though, I may not be so angered by the rude interruption to my time off. Although I'd be very surprised that he missed the landys all stikered up on the driveway.

Get a price. Then, ask to see his window cleaning license....

Not very entrepeneurial really.
If he was using ladders, I would politely decline and give him my details.  I would then tell him that if he was offered work that he can't do from a ladder, there might be some money in it for him if the work came my way.

Not very entrepreneurial either really. THE entrepreneurial thing to do would be to get your coat, head out canvassing ahead of him while your missus keeps him busy with stupid questions like "will he come in the rain?" or "can I get my windows done every 5 1/2 weeks?"

I would have a chat, ask him how is he doing, and share my experiences with him and wish him/her well. Exactly as I would with any other windy I meet when working.
