As ive not got a full months work yet its easy for me to stay at 4 weeks exactly but im getting a lot more work at the mo and just want to know if you had a job due monday but did it wednesday would you do it 4 weeks from the monday or wednesday as george always keeps it as date due so would be 4 weeks monday, just think this could get confusing if all your work eventually got out of date.

I usually do mine 4 weeks from the original day. If I get delayed by a day or two, then I usually go back to the original day on the next clean. Haven't had any complaints yet.

[LWC]

are you guys really that organised? theyre lucky to see me that week let alone the same day!

[Ian Lancaster]

If you've got a full round, and you lose a couple of days in the cycle, how do you manage to get back 4 weeks from the last visit?

Being that rigid is going to cause all sorts of problems in the future when you have as much work as you can handle.  When I book a job I tell them "every four weeks, never less but could be more if I lose time".  My terms on my quotations say: "Every 4-6 weeks, never less than 4"

[jaykie]

This is what i thought but how do i get george to go 4 weeks from day done as its going to be a pain to keep adjusting days.

I suppose its down to what flexability you allow yourself. if we fall a day or 2 behind due to circumstances then we work longer days, saturdays or if way behind then get 2 men to jump on a round to catch it up. we rarely fall off schedule, if we do its 2 days maximum but they get pulled back to the original day next time round so there is no lost revenue. The way i see it is if you fall behind then over the course of the year you can lose out on a lot of potential earnings

[jaykie]

Spot on this is what i thought, what im doing at the mo is doing 4 days max so if i fall behind i got a extra day to do, i can do every other saturday.

I do tell my customers that I may be delayed at times by weather, etc., but that I will get them back on track asap. I have always caught up in the past, it would only be 1 or 2 extra each day.

Schedule all my work to the day 8 weekly....after each clean the customer gets a card with the next clean date.....every now and again weather or something else prevents this...but the work will be reschuled and the customer advised that same day.

If I did not have a rigid schedule I imagine I would be too tempted to sit on my backside eat crisps and watch tv and contine to get fatter...all week long.

Alot of w/c here love their flexible method but I find my scheduled 'plan' works for me.

Each to his own.  I set myself a target of £X per day.  When I reach that I stop - it's psychologically impossible for me to carry on

That may be all the work I've got available, or it may not.  Provided I reach my "value of work done" each week, I'm happy.  Anything left over gets done the next week, and so on.  Makes for a much simpler, less stressful life.

[pingu]

Ian a bit like yourself...I have a set amount that I want to earn per week and that is how I am building the round....a little ways to go but it allows time off too.

That`s why that george rubbish is a waste of time,it can`t work out if your on holiday or if it`s raining can it.You put it  down from the day you did it,what happens if you have 2 weeks off will you do it again 2 weeks later lol.

[chris@c.m.s]

Jackie when you click on the job in George and tick it off as done next to that tick box you will have another appear with today click on that and it will bump the job 4 weeks after today's date. 

[jaykie]

Cheers Chris ill have a look at that,

I am the same, have always said 4 weeks min and  max 6. That way I never let people down

Exactly, it is a no-brainer to be honest.

George isnt rubbish it is a very good program and saves me sitting at the computer for hours sorting work out and doing accounts and invoicing

If the job you are doing is late then when you do it  you click 'done' George schedules it for four weeks time or whatever the frequency of clean is

Obvious to anyone who uses it Apparently not to NWH. Or maybe he doesn't know the programme or perhaps much at all
