im sorry but doesnt it say it all he was sent to ptison for stealing!!!!

if they would rather employ that type of person more fool them but we are running a business and have business costs and for a proper job to be done a proper charge must be put in place.

if he was charging them a reasonable price he wouldn't of need to steal!!

On some of my contracts, if you broke the figures down, then I could be earning over £2000 per day or even £14000 per week or over  £3/4 million per year, but alas this is not possible, because other factors come into the equation.

You don't need a wfp system to earn a good living window cleanng, you need to have a good pricing of your jobs to achieve a realistic wage.

The average wage in the UK is £27716 per year.

Which window cleaner do you know who earns this amount?

With the use of wfp systems and the more "professional" image that all window cleaners are adopting , be-coming more common.

The image of the window cleaner has risen from the "stan ogdens" who only go out to work when they need "beer money" and they don't have to"sigh on" that day, to the professional business persons that they have always been, but not accepted as.

The time has come when we do not have to "don our hats" and "toff our forlocks" to the squires anymore, instead we are on a equal footing with every other business man who is earning an honest living.

It does not matter how high you price you work, if you give value for money, then you will always have customers who are willing to pay you that amount.

If you under-price your work, then the only loser will be you.
