You carry talking rubbish RoundDog to try and look big (failing though), and I'll carry on living in the real world and telling it like it is.

Squealer I must be doing something right as I have a very full round with over 400 customers all prepared to pay my prices! And you are forever moaning that you haven't got enough customers or you are losing customers ect ect, perhaps you should listen to some advice from other more successful members of this forum!! If I were you I would start by adopting a more positive attitude to life and business!!!

Householders are not that stupid in general, their husbands probably earn around £15 an hour for a good job so they are hardly going to pay £60 an hour for a window clean are they?

The kind of households that I target would laugh at the idea of £15 an hour being a good job!!   I rarely see many of the husbands in a lot of the areas I work, because they work very late or are away on business a lot, on average they earn between £500 to £1000 a day, and some much much more!!! 

Hello Groundhog,

I just tried searching your location because I'd like to know what area you work where the hourly rate for the majority is that high, just out of interest and a bit of jealousy I suppose. I have to work for a living as the south west may be a tourism area but the wage is one of the lowest in this country unfortunately.

No they are not window cleaners, one of my customers owns a massive pharmeceutical business, some are investment bankers, many are consultants of one kind or another, I also work for a few doctors and a couple of surgeons. Most of them work very hard and long hours and deserve every penny they get. The point I am trying to get accross is that we as window cleaners barely scratch the surface were money is concerned, and we should not feel guilty about trying to earn a decent living if we are prepared to work hard and offer a fantastic service to our customers!

So if I double or treble all my prices I'll have more customers?

What planet are you on?

Agree 100% with all your posts on this one,it sounds like we run our businesses in a similar way.

Oh, i didn't realise that people on five grand a day lived on large estates in four bed run of the mill houses. I must bang my prices up tomorrow. :

5 K a day, they must have ditched the consultants job / surgeons job etc etc and taken up window cleaning

1 step up the ladder of success

Thanks for your support on this NWH    I was beginning to feel very alone on this one! I am not intending to brag or boast, but to inspire and help others on this forum! But I am coming to the conclusion that I am wasting my time, and  it is obvious that certain people on hear are beyond help.
Why are so many of you so quick to put someone down if they say that they are doing well When I hear about someone being successful in business I listen carefully to what they have to say, and try and learn from them. Perhaps that is why I am doing better than certain other people on here! Anyway I have decided not to post any more on this subject as squeaky and co are obviously quite happy how they are, and are not interested in learning anything from other more successful window cleaners.

So that's 400 jobs at an average of say £30 a job thats what...........um £12,000 a month throw in a few gutter cleans and some conservatory cleans and that might bring it up to a decent wage. Nah, i'll stick to brain surgery thanks.

I never said I was happy as I am.
I'm just not going to take any notice of people spouting rubbish on a forum.

I'll take notice of people who are doing better than I am, not anonymous people on a forum who tell everyone they make £2 per minute. :

[L.J.Thorpe]

Again ,is this the same round that you did trad or are these new customers

Dickhead!!!


If thats your attitude Squeaky then why do you bother using this forum so much?

By the way I have decided to stop wasting my time on this forum, I'm fed up with being insulted by idiots like these two jokers. GOODBYE

Squeeky do you know for a fact groundhog was lying??

[AuRavelling79]

Somewhere between Groundhog's (come back to the forum , I'm not too proud to say I learn some good ideas from you) "pearls before swine" and Squeaky's "Oh woe is me!" attitude lies the truth for me.

£300 a day for me is not easy - it's a once a month, jobs lined up nicely kind of day. £200 tho' yep whenever I want to work solidly for seven/eight hours with a fifteen minute lunch break and eating snacks on the go, then I'll hit that.

But at my age/level of fitness/type of round, I'd be hard pressed to do that for five days on the trot without needing to sleep for a day! One/two days and then an easy day, no problem!

And so I prune and improve and prune and improve my round.

i missed this

its a joke, i dont really cut keys

the joke was :
