Hello there fella (mac mac)

Its tough out there, custies wont pay the prices they havent got money to spare. Anyone of you ciu lads that gets more than a living from cleaning windows ...every credit. Fella I was talking to has spent £9 k setting up for cleaning pvcu and conservatories last year. He scraped a living last year, put out 10,000's leaflets knocled doors. Hes just managed to get rid of his van and gear, lost £14000 in just over 12 months trading said this year is flat as a pancake. Tough eh.

Now why would anyone want to plunge into that?


Personally Im fine thanks, still scraping a living.

Wow, that's a tough hit to take. Personally, I wouldn't have spent the 9k in a oner, I would have eased my way in & started smaller, left myself room to breath.

For whatever reason, many (myself included) w/c'ers are busier than ever. As we've discussed in the past Mark, it's a funny business w/c'ing & IMO can't be compared with many other business models etc.

Anyway, you should pop in more often. Teach our resident business guru (think you know the one) a thing or two. ;D

stay white n bright window cleaning service
