Today i was phoned up and threatened down the phone by another window cleaner. Apparently i was stealing his work. Been canvassing for past 3 nights and as far as i was aware i was offering to clean that dint have a cleaner. Tried to explain this to him but he wouldnt have it he just kept telling me he was going to av me. Have any of you experienced this??

Carry on mate, free country!!

[dave0123]

[pingu]

Log it with the police...but do not let it put you off....just carry on building your business for you and your family and do not let simpletons like this take up too much of your time...

Crack on and good luck.

Dave.

ps I had this 3 times when I first started...nothing came of it...just some gobby fools.

and say, my leaflets say... if you DONT have a window cleaner.


there aint a lot left to argue over.

I  can't defend this guys actions in threatening you but if your canvassing by simply door knocking how did he get your number?

Are you just leafletting, offering silly price undercutting cleans and just quoting your mobile number? If so I can see why he'd get the hump. But it don't excuse threatening behaviour.

If people threaten you just stand up to them and deal with it, whatever it takes.
Going to the Police is a bit strong, what are they gonna do, unless you actually get a good kicking?

For £4.00 per clean and having to live in Burnley, Stan your right its not worth anyone else moving in.
You rule baby.

OK - did the guy who phoned leave tell you his name? Did he hide his own phone number? If so then 99% chance he's doing nothing but scaremainering. Ignore him. And log it with the old bill. Don't make excuses to him just ignore.

This always happens to newbies, once they see your not going to give up they will back off.

Hes probably got a family and is scared his income is going to fall due to the new comers and doesnt know what to do, so tried scaring you, doubt he will do anything, But then again who knows.
