Messer 1 ... £15 bimonthly ... cleaning away and out they come to pay me "I want you to come every 3 months from now on" ... sorry don't do 3 monthly Mrs Jones .... "whys that then" cos its not worth it to me ..... "but were trying to save money and cut costs" she went on to say ... sorry not worth my while ... "ok I will have to cancel you then" she says as they step into their new £40000 land rover discovery and drive away ............... yup could have offered it at a higher price but really cant be bothered with 4 cleans a year on any house under £90.
Messer 2 .... she cancelled me 9 months ago as she had sold house and was moving with a promise to call me with new address when she was in new place ... every time I drove past her house to clean others her car was still on drive .... phone message this morning "Hi ... this is Mrs Rightmove here Im moving tomorrow can you come and clean my windows today please before 3 this afternoon (time on message was 11.30 ish)
Messer 3 .... working on an estate yesterday which is well sown up by me and a few other lads ,,, very tricky if not impossible to get new work on so quite surprised when a couple stop me and say can you give us a quote for 72 Letsbe Avenue .... they were on way out to work so said I would pop quote thru letter box ... large 4 / 5 bed house windows were FILTHY MINGING and not cleaned for about 2 years ... quoted £20 a month with £40 on first clean ... phone call that night yup fantastic when can you do them ... booked in for tomorrow .... text 10 mins ago "wife says your too expensive and unless I can drop price they will be forced to shop around
.... my reply was " thanks for the opportunity .. Ive been beaten on price a few times but never on quality or reliability ... best wishes Ian"
Some times glad when day is over .... thank fook theres plenty of decent customers out there
