peaks and troughs this game but loads of new jobs coming in the last few weeks,ive picked up 16 new jobs in the last 3 weeks(all walk ups and recommendation)

some months nothing seems to change then i get a spurt of new customers.


what about you chaps?

[jo5hm4n]

Yeah same thing really, had atleast 10+ walk ups in the last month or so + recommendations, more website enquiries than usual too.  Can't beat walk ups that are customers next door to your current ones, had a good amount of those lately 

[Shrek]

Enquiries have slowed down for me lately, usually does around the holiday period July/august

[paul alan]

Its weird, never been so busy with new un's.

Pretty soon l'll be either turning em away (would break my heart) or employing (could break my heart).

[Stoots]

Well done.

Hardly ever get any walk ups or recoms, always have to advertise and work hard for new customers.

[Marc Stock]

Me too its flipping nuts at the moment picked up 35 in 2 months all from new enquires. In my experience when you get a load of inquiries like this its mostly down to the weather. Get ready for alot of them in decemeber/january to drop off the list when they realise you are a full weather cleaner....

Are you doing everything you can to make a good impression?

Is your work up to scratch?

Yes but the ones that stick the winter out are in for the long haul.

Did I read on here that if you get all the jobs you quote for, then your prices might need an adjustment?? 😂😂
Not quite sure who mentions that point alot

I've had many enquiries via referrals & walkups in the last few months. The vast majority I have passed onto other windies.

not me.

i very rarely not get a job on price  because my prices are fair/reasonable IMO.

[Marc Stock]

Just got back from a quote now. £75 in and out clean, ground floor bungalow one off. It's nuts they want me to do it asap. But I'm fully booked Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday  I have a facia and soffit clean, Thursday I'm fully booked and Friday I have an afternoon free. Might not be able to do this one.  Suppose there is always Sunday but that's desperate measures, don't wanna be working Sundays.

In an area I work the local council here in cloggyland delivered leaflets to every house warning of summer window cleaners, cleaners etc, etc warning people to watch out for the criminal element and only use trusted companies/people..... Got so much work from this its hilarious.... hey I might put out the same letter next year myself instead of leaflets :-)

On the flip side I have noticed this year more 'movers'. I have taken on about 6 of those houses where the previous customer moved at slightly higher prices and just like  someone said here a while back... Our business's are built on sand.

No thanks.

Must be something wrong with me, I only want regulars.

I'd rather do the old faithfuls

[robbo333]

I've got quite a bit coming in from my website but 80% is cr@p.
My stepson is leafletting and that is getting some good stuff, but we'll see if it's still good 6 months down the line.

How true Robbo.

More new enquiries means having to sieve harder through the rubbish

All worth it in the end
