hi all, want to apologise in advance for the length of this, i'll start by saying i'v now got a new found respect for window cleaners and especially those that use this site, your willingness to give out info and advice in this cynical world is very refreshing and i congratulate you all......
i'm an engineer (raf 20 years, civvy 3 years) i really dont know if i'll have a job at xmas so i says to the wife ( she works in recruitment ) what the hell am i gonna do ? she gives it 3 days then drops the bomb on me at dinner... be a window cleaner she says.. i sat there open mouthed and say to her i'v put jets into the sky and ships on the sea, qualified and with letters after my name, are you mental i ask...think about it she says....
so i did, and thought and thought..then thought bugger it and googled window cleaning where i discovered dave at wc coach and through his site you lot !! what an incredible experience this has been, its a very different world you are in and i'm genuinely humbled by your experience and savvy... so after reading through all and i mean all of the faq's and getting info about my area , competition, kit etc which took about a month i put together a business presentation to the wife with all the info i had gathered ( a lot ) and she loved it...
that was ten days ago, since then i've traded in my car for a van, ordered the bits of kit so i can start practicing and got 7 customers (friends who dont have a wc )....
so my start date is the 2nd of nov by which time i'll have been solely practicing your dark art, i will be starting off part time as i do shift work and see how things develop, i would like to keep you informed of my progress and i'll be asking questions and advice from you all, so thanks for your patience and again well played to all of you
