I've been reading posts lately where people are going on about their different rounds.

For me a round is the entire job list for 1 man/squad. You start at the beginning then when you get to the end you go round again. Like a circle.

What is meant by round nowadays?

I was think that the other day reading about this round and that round. People saying I have rounds all over etc.

Im a one man band so I have 1 window cleaning round.

Its spread across different towns but it's still one round. Start at the beginning and get round them all before starting again.

Ebola was a round a few months back.

So if you was selling some work or as some would say, "a window round" would you be selling your entire work or round?? Or a part of it?

I use the term in the sence that i clean in 5 villages. 2 villages i do in a week, 2 days in each. The others, im there for 3 days or 5. So my work is segmented into 5 rounds.  A round per wk except in one week there is 2. To me this organises my work nicely and im thankfull its all compact work.

Probably just means that their frequency of work "round" they have decided to split up by the frequency and location into separate rounds to make it more manageable on a daily basis.

I have 1 round with 16 routes, 4 routes per week

To me a round is all my work , my round starts at the first property and finishes during the month when I complete the list!
Then it goes round again the following month

Exactly. There was a plonker on here, who shall remain anonymous, who couldn’t work one day because there were utility workers working in the road outside the houses he was due to clean.

So, why not just go and do tomorrows work today and do todays work tomorrow??

Nope, thats a different round!.

What of it, go and do it.

I suppose if I was selling say 20% of my work or 50% or whatever I would sell it as a "round"

As if you bought that work and that work is all you had then it would be a round. If already had other work then that would become part of your round..you would still only  have one round.

A round equals the sum total of your work imo

I've never worked it like it's round I pick out jobs that are due and do them depending on what I want to do money wise,I might want to have Friday off so I'll pick out jobs that enables me to earn 2 days money in 1 day. I would never have a sheet of paper and work from top to bottom and do that every couple of months and then go out and do it all again in that order how boring is that. I do the biggest paid jobs due at the start of the week so the week gets off to a good start money wise,it's all about the money for me.

I'd have thought that you would do your entire list in order because that's the most cost efficient way of doing it. I couldn't give a flying monkey's if it's boring. It's all about the money for me.

Oh right, well that's clear as mud.

If I was selling off some work it'd be part of a round. Whoever bought it would either add it to their round or it'd be their entire round.

[Smurf]

Yes it could be all your work (selling up) or say just a small part of it they don't want anymore for whatever reason.
Some will try to get shot of their crap work and  also call it a round too.

[SeanK]

If you have 300 properties on your books, you start at property 1 and finish at property 300 and then start
again at property 1, doesn't matter how many properties you have or where they are as the same applies and that's a round.
Now if you take part of your round say 100 properties then as Soupy has said its part of your round but it may become a round
to the person that buys it.
Very complicated stuff cleaning windows that's why only the smartest succeed. lol.

Perhaps its a northern thing

My understanding is that we are all adults on this site, dispite being new to window cleaning or experienced workers in the game for many years. If someone (like myself) has a massive or quite an extensive round and wishes to segment it into smaller rounds in order to organise his or her books and working schedule. Or somebody chooses to cherry pick their work for most profit first and keaving dross till last for financial reasons,,,,,,does it really matter.   For threads on here, im sure we all have (dispite level of intellect) an understanding of the thread via reading it in context, even you soupy 😉😂

I personally don't have any what you call dross work although some are better priced than others,as years have gone by i have got rid of low paying work. If weather is bad over an extended period I can catch up easily money wise I'm not interested if I catch up with behind work that's late. If you have a so called religious route you do it becomes almost impossible to catch the cash up over the course of a month or week,I like to do what work I fancy by choice to a certain extent I might think I fancy doing 3 jobs here and 1 big job there and I've done my money for the day.
