Its amazing who keeps the flyers I have not delivered any for just over a week but have had calls every day. I think you just have to keep on delivering them and eventually the calls just keep rolling in. Its nice when you pick up some nice jobs!!  ;) where are you based?

i know what you mean m8,but they said they couldnt wait no longer.They gave him over 3 months and said they cant see him cleaning anytime soon so they need there windows cleaned.
 Im sorry to hear he fell off his LADDERS,  but if work comes my way i will take it,im not in a habit of stealing work but if a house owner wants there windows cleaning every 4 weeks and have not had them cleaned for perhaps 16 weeks can you blame them?????????????????????

its a good idea m8,and if i knew him i would pal.
I dont want to steal work and when i ask someone if they want a window cleaner i ask if they have a window cleaner and if they have one i walk away!

I picked up a job last week: the custy said they were new to the area.  I asked how they heard of us and they said the previous owners left our leaflet for them.

We delivered that leaflet two years ago, and the previous owners never contacted us

i think you are being out of order by doing this work if hes really damaged his leg he may want to return WOULD YOU CLEEWINDOWS give the guy is work back ?
if you went about it the right way and got in contact with the guy to see if he was going to return before you started doing the work that would be better , you never no he minght not beable to return and he minght put other work your way , but dont just take it without finding out if he will return .
otherwise it minght come back to haunght you .
i would guarantee if it was my work and i ended up sick for a few months i wouldnt be a happy chap .
