Zero thus far

All mine are online and im not the most social anyway, a quick grunt of a hello if i must and im off

well dont get your hopes up of building up a good domestic round then(well better than "average").people buy people up here in the north west.personality goes a long way in picking up customers through word of mouth and recommendation as well as the usual doing a good job,reliable and trustworthy. :)

you just wont do as well as a more outgoing friendly window cleaner. ;)
price higher/work harder!

Not quite true. You just need balls apparantly and apply a service charge to each customer. Instant tips  ;D

You are probably right in that it helps but it's not in me to be chatty. I don't have much to say other than hello lol

One old boy on my round gave me £25 tip last year, so every time since (and he's always in) I felt I owed it to him to stand there for sometimes 10 minutes listening to his drivel for the last 12 months,  called this week with his Christmas card.....nothing, just a 'merry Christmas'
*slaps own face*  ;D

I'm up to £50
Wow, what will I spend it on!!!!
Last year I got £150 ish,  but £50 came on one tip
Couldn't believe that one
That was on a commercial
A bloke I have never met, (lives in Hartlepool) rings me now and again.
I did a job last year for him,  £300, Finnished by dinner time and he says have an extra £50 and treat your wife to dinner.
Never happened before and won't  again I suppose  ???
