im in the same boat i can afford to loose customers and was wondering how you (WCE) go about getting the higher priced jobs..
WCE I was just being objective mate, I have a lot of well priced commercial. Paul hughes31 as prestige says. be positive and don't be frightened of losing/missing out on a contract or two if the price is not right as there will be another one round the corner. But always remember there is a limit to what a sane person will pay. (but it may be higher(alot higher) than you imagine). Steve

surely from time to time window cleaners will lose customers, and gain more than they lost in any given period...just because one customer is lost does not mean the crunch is affecting....stop panicking, think positive, canvass, leaflet drop and up your game.
im feeling really positive at the moment now are emplyee has left, things are looking up ive gone wfp picking up more work than we can handle and i am under no circumstances worrying about the crunch..
Recession ?In the last 2 days we have picked up 3 hotels/guest houses , 2 nursing homes and 2 houses and 2 gutter jobs and builders clean on a shopBut lost a £6.00 bungalow, not a bad swap really.The key to beating the recession if there is one, is to pick up more work than you lose
