[Sir Squeaky]

Thanks Squeaky someone being realistic. As i said earlier if we were to pay between £200 and £300+ then to make it worth our while we need to turnover £600+ a day.  No sensible person running a business would pay somebody more than they would earn.   

depends what you mean by being realistic,that might be realistic to him and his round but not me.It makes me LOL when i see people write that certain things are not possible,how the hell does anyone know what is possible for me if you have an average round of domestics built up over years you should be able to do over £200 a day easy.That is not a boastfull egotistical statement it`s a fact and if your not doing that i would seriously look at your business and where it`s taking you.

Well I know at least a dozen window cleaners, and not one of them does that sort of figure, or if they do then it's never more than once or twice a month.

It's not anything wrong with my work.
I bet over 95% of window cleaners in the country make well under £200 a day.

It's you who's unrealistic.
We just tell the truth.

What was a good day trad squeaky? one day a month figure and just a general good day please.

Get off your backside and get some decent work,all you do is moan and complain so there`s nothing new here is there,this is a perfect thread for a moaner reflecting on his work and a thread your quick to reply to.It`s as if your sub concious mind is telling you your a no hoper,not only you don`t beleive me you also don`t think it`s possible what chance do you have you that approach,arrogant i am a liar i am not.

[Paul Coleman]

why don,t some of you raise your expectations , this is a money making machine regards alan

I have been doing that of late.  I was blind to it for a long time because I worked in isolation without knowledge of the internet forums.  I have increased my turnover dramatically compared to what I used to turn over a couple of years back but I know it can be so much better. I've nearly doubled my turnover in three years (from a level that I acknowledge was too low) and I reckon I can increase it another 50% over the next year or two.  The very big proviso in all this is that the economy mustn't hit the skids TOO badly.

[matt]

Oh come on Matt, some days i only earn £450 i can't possibly earn £500 every day all week - sometimes it rains.

you need to not be so soft and get out in the rain

i have a funny story about watching some1 work this week, im off for my tea though

[matt]

And if Matt can`t do it nobody can.

have i ever said i dont, i have some very well priced work, on the odd day i do very well, but then most of my time isnt doing just the well priced stuff

[johns window kleen]

Are you guys saying its possible to hit £500 per day with only one person? or are there a couple or more of you.
I agree with squeaky I cant see how 1 bloke can hit £500 a day even if all work is WFP.

Squeaky wouldn`t agree with you would he,do you read his posts on earnings.

it can be done

the butler sometimes has to help with the water, at lunch you sometimes have to get the private jet to fly in some extra water, used to get the chauffeur to bring it over, but he got fed up with the water in the bentley, just cannot get the staff these days

You might laugh Matt but there`s some on here that are earning that and more mate beleive me i know em.

[simbo]

Hark!!! whats that i hear,
 Oh! its all the poles, albanians etc rushing off to buy their kit.
how much you earn generally depends on what you need for youself not because somebody on here says, "i can earn a grand a day" therefore  you are inferior to me and my equiptment.
anyway i am off on holliday

It`s a bit more sophisticated than that when your at the earnings talked about,Squeaky better watch out though lol.

Ho hum....

I think some are getting confused with the bloke that strolls out the house at 9-10 o`clock in the morning and returns home in time to pick the kids up from school and the business that does big work,there comparing things within there own world,it`s called being small minded and the attitude that if i can`t do it no one can.

[johns window kleen]

No I dont think im being small minded,  I am just curious to see how you could earn £500 a day window cleaning. If people can then maybe I have got my business model seriously wrong.
I am not a 10 to 3er personally but  can get knowhere near £500 doing my best paid days.

I once managed £400 as a proportional part of a larger job and have exceeded £300 several times.  Believe me when I say that I felt it the next day and would prefer to settle for less and feel OK.  I can see that £500 is possible if someone does a lot of tip top work on the same day and is prepared to work long hours but keeping that up day in day out is not very likely.  Indeed, if I crammed all my very best jobs into one very long, gut wrenching day and if they were close to one another, I might just about manage £500 myself - for one day only.  However, it would not be possible because my top work is scattered around and is done at different times.
Anyway, I don't go to work to be too knackered to enjoy life.  It defeats the best part of being self-employed IMO.
I'm not saying that others can't do it.  I'm just saying that I can't with the type of work I currently have.

Do tell.

[julianbiggs]

I started this thread for a very good reason but it's gone off at a tangent. We have 2 very good paying days.. between £400 and £500 for each day...but....i am honest enough to say this is a rarity. i would love to have 20 x 500 days.

The whole point of this thread was to rant about people's expectations of a daily rate when "working" for us.  Ridiculous requests. Simple.

If your so bothered about paying certain rates do the work yourself or get a polish shiner lol.
