We text or call every single one, every single time.  Texts are much quicker and simpler so we prefer them.

Why?  Because we're idiots.

Every custie - every time...

all my custies are numbered so no searching for addresses..

Even kept the details of 70 odd dumped custies - just in case they've got the nuts to try again!

I only send texts to customers to leave the gates open,about 10 in total



I also send then in text shorthand,like "plz leave de gate open tomor plz thxs"

You are obviously ancient. It's "da" gate and "tomoz". 

[Don Kee]

I text a few customers. If they want a text then i'll send one
Dont see the problem as regards to cancellations...
Do you really want to clean someones windows that doesnt want you to clean them anyway? ''Excuse for them to cancel'' is balls, they wont cancel if they genuinely want a regular window cleaner. The 1000's of jobs that people have on here, i wouldnt have thought that'd be a problem....

I get the flexibility thing (cant be bothered feeling)but everyone on here cleans in rain so that shouldnt be a massive deal either....

You may not like texting the night before (thats fair enough) but to turn around and say it dont work and its a silly thing to do is wrong seen as so many dont have a problem doing it

To turn round & say that not texting your customers don't work is also silly as so many that don't do it have zero problems.

I'm sorry, where did i say not texting was silly....?
You may even find if you read the first line properly i say i text a few customers (implying not all customers) so i'm a little bemused as to where ive implyed that if you dont text then it wont work...?

Where exactly do I imply "you"

[Don Kee]

Eh?

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Eh?

It's a simple enough question.

[Don Kee]

Ahhhh i see you've added the 'i' now, my bad

Sorry, i just figured that seen as you'd quoted what id said you where implying i was saying not texting is 'silly'

Wasnt saying that, just meant that both work

I reckon if you were to put a poll up - text all custies or not only 5% would text all. There IS a reason for that result too.

Ok texting doesnt work, only idiots text there customers, you're right, i'm wrong

I text and it works well for me and my customers.
If others don't text and it works well for them then fair play to you.
We all work in different ways and use the methods that best suit us.

Please... The last thing we need is balance and fair mindedness.

Unfortunately I need access and many of my customers have nice houses with big side gates, including electric gates at the front.
I'm coming up 50 years old and can't be arsed to climb over. Easier to text.
