Hi

I have recently started my WFP business and have told my customers that I will be doing them on a 4 weekly basis - some qoutes that I have done they don't seem to want them done that often, just wondered how many weeks you guys work on? 4? 6? etc

Thanks
Andy

Most of my customers are 8 weekly....most people I find do not want 4 weekly...so 8 weekly is good for both the customer and me.

Cheers'
Dave.

Nearly all 4 weekly, odd few 2 weekly and others 8 weekly. 

Even got a fewe who have them less frequent, 12 and 26 weekly but they are very large stately homes.

most of my custmoers are 4 weekly, though i have a few 2 weekly and 1 every 3 weeks. but that is going to become 2 or 4 weeks. it might be local and easy to get to and do - but its a pain trying to organise things around half an hour's work

[Paul Coleman]

All my domestic work is 6 weekly except for a very few that I do 12 weekly.  I will only do 12 weekly if a job is worth £50 or more - though a few of the current 12 weeklies are less than that.

i do mine every 3 weeks which custom as become used to over the years . but im going to be changing to 4 weekly soon to accomadate other work ive just been given ,

[Feen]

Nearly all monthly (some 2 monthly). My customers seem to like to know that I'll be there on roughly the same date each month, not the same day every 4 weeks. It means 1 clean less a year for me, but I'm happy with that.

6 weeks ( depending on weather )

[NWH]

90% of mine is 6-8 weekly.

i work on a calander month .so i call in week 1 ,week 2 ,3,4 .this works well and gives me a few days at the end to catch up or rest .(in theory )

6 weeks near the coast, 8weeks further inland. A few on 12 weeks.  All wfp.  We find 4 weeks too early for wfp or the customer will baulk at the price so keep to your price and extend the cycle. Means you have to get more customers, but you are making the right margin from each one.

mostly 3 weekly .depends on weather .way behind in rain months

[Davew]

Mostly five weeks for me.

[Chris Cottrell]

For me most are 6 wks, a few 4 wks & 1 or 2 are 8 wks, and a few are 12 wks, there are also some shops in the high St that are every week  and a couple of v.big customers 4 mthly

[Russell Macdonald]

100% 4 weekly. If a cuty wants anything they need anothe Shiner.

4 weekly
But recently shifted to between 4 to 6 weeks all customers OK and it give me more flexability

[karygate]

i have been going now forabout three months and have approx 45 customers , all of which are 4 weekly .

[dave0123]

about 90% 4 weekly for me! sum getting it done 8 weekly.

some ask what do they fink best... Monthly obv

[geefree]

so ,

there are only so many cleans you can do in one week,

in real terms does it make any difference if you are working every day lads?

i know it gives more scope for building... i think.... early days..

but once you have a full week , every week. i cant see the difference, i know the topic is about who does what .... bit if you clean every six weeks or every two.... if your books are full and you are working every day... it dont matter does it?...

i think we should try to clean every week at the same houses lol..... 50 customers, ten a day... £15 per house.... good wage , easy to build..


ah i will dream on

I am 100% with Macc on this one,  I put "I want different" customers in the same bag as the "You will need to get on the flat roof" folk. 

Its labeled "someone will do it, but I have other things to do"

I am not picky and will bend over backwards for a customer, even returning to some excellent ones on a different day to do the backs if they are out (this is not something that is usually offered, it comes after a good relationship has been built).  But I personally need a few rules to stick by or I would be all over the place.
