It seems like people are copying the example of others on this forum and overcharging badly.
It's just greed because so-and-so charges this much or that much.
Funny how all the "previous" wc'ers aren't forum members.
It's a case of following like sheep and trying to keep up with the others, just like this forum is wfp crazy.
Even though it barely exists away from it.
The large majority of expensive rip-offs are wfp users, as they they think they're somehow more "professional"....quite the opposite in reality... :
I feel no need to rip people right off, and I won't copy the poor example of others around here.
No wonder I get up to 10 times more Xmas tips than others, people actually like me.
Sorry, but it's something that really bugs me.
Squeeky, you really need to chill out about WFP. I think you may be getting stressed over nothing.
WFP is as professional as any traditional window cleaner.
All my clients like me and my teams.
Last year we received £1311 xmas tips, if you get 10 x that, congratulations.
At the end of the day whatever anyone charges should not be reflected against others. The fact that location has a great deal to do with pricing. Why charge someone £5 IF they would be prepared to pay £10 (location in mind) You can only clean so many houses in a day and thats a fact. I made a business decision many years ago to not work harder but to work smarter. Year on year my company turnover grows in excess of 15%. Last year our client base topped 2000.
But hey, what does it really matter, I don't sit and bear grudges against OCS who spend more in a year on fleet vehicles than I turnover, I just concentrate on what I am doing and focus on improving my business.
Come on mate, stop judging books by covers, accept that there are WFP and Traditional window cleaners out there that are just as professional as each other and equally do as good a job as anyone.
Best wishes,
