    you only have to read the posts on this forum where a problem custy has caused a w/c to wanna slash his wrists because they said can you leave it this month

LOL!  That used to be me, or rather I'd want to slash their throats.  I'm a bit calmer these days, but I'd still drop them if they didn't offer a good excuse, and I would class 'being skint' as a good excuse.

But this hasn't happened to me in at least a year, maybe two, so my policy of dropping 'not this month' types obviously worked.

Topic is a good one for debate, don't ruin it by crass wisecracks.

Some customers are just like that. If you asked their present window cleaner he would probably tell you they were moaners.

I fully intent to speak to the w/c and get his take on it but I stand by my desision not to take the job on for the reason being to me thats is a potential problem customer so I have nipped it in the bud.

and as I said I would rather identify a problem awaiting and refuse the job as apposed to taking the job on only to find later on down the line I was right.

I read plenty of posts on here from w/c's in a rage just because a customer says no not this month or dont clean cos its lashing down,  and they completely let it ruin their day so much so that they have to come on here afterwards and tell everyone.

I don't come on here with such posts as I'm far to happy to let a customer ruin my day so it was a smart move on my part to refuse the job.

well i had 1 customer who had sacked they w/cleaner cause he was  a ass.

so she asked me todo her windows,she told me that they havent been done for a few mths,so i knew he was long gone.
well i now do 10 other houses in the same lane all at £10+, and the first lady who ask me is probably one of my best custys,
well i was doing her house when the other w/cleaner turn up,and came up haveing ago at me.saying i nicked his work bahhh bahhh bahhh,when the women came out and put him staight qoute"you are not trustworthy,unreiable,a bully and you are rubbish now get off my property"
before i even had chance to say a thing.

he went with his tail between his legs

this w'c cant be that bad for them to have had him for 3 years and as Ive pointed out more than once the windows are always spotless.
