There always seems to be a bit of a 'battle' re: WFP v Trad...they both have there place...Now it seems some are trying to make trad out to be some sort of rocket science proceedure...lets face it...it is not....sure to be fast requires alot of practice and diligence....but rocket science it is not...
The same applies with wfp...there is a method and this method can change to fit the circumstance.
I have built my round from scratch using wfp and I have had 1 customer freak and I mean freak...the old guy took me on I explained the system he says ok.....the wife must have been about 80 ...well I could hear her shouting.....There's water all over the place he's spraying water....the old guy came out apologised and said please do not come again...
perceptions ....
As an average I grow my customer base by 2 per week and as such still do many first cleans...I put extra effort into the 1st/2nd/3rd cleans and then I speed up....WFP can do what trad does....with the right frame of mind and work ethic.
Anyone can do a rubbish job whether it be with rag, trad, wfp...
But why do we always have to resort to 'method' bashing...After only 67 weeks I have a business that is doing very well (not full)....and why?
Because I work hard (as do you all), reading and take information from here, apply myself, watch what is happening like a hawk with regard to targets, projections and review weekly.......
So at the end of the day it is down to the individual who makes the difference...
Be it trad, wfp, rag, fast, slow, good, bad, regular, turn up whenever, polite, bolshy..it's all just a matter of YOU....
Personally I see a week in, week out growth, at prices I am happy with and in area's I want to work in....without too many complaints....
But the wfp v trad is a nonstarter really...they are both potentially fanstastic/bad tools...but we sometimes talk about them and when someone else makes a comment almost regard it as a personal insult.....ROFL.
We are just a load of people sharing this forum...for as many reasons as there are members...but the method tit for tat is sad.
