Title: Worked a Saturday - 1st cleans
Post by: Ian101 on June 18, 2011, 06:40:05 pm
Never thought I would work a Saturday but was case of having to.

Ive been trying to fit 1st cleans in around regular customers but loosing too much time so done 3 first cleans today from 10.30 till 3.

All 3 jobs spread over the 3 corners on my area so thought work Saturday get em outta way ... it was great being able to take time, explain wfp to new customers, stop and have a chat and a cuppa

Added £414 a year onto round so good day overall  :D

Explained to customers that now gotta fit em into round so not to worry if im not around for a month or 2 month from today exactly.

Think will keep all new customers for 1 Saturday a month except those right next door to the ones Im doing there and then.

Did you pick up any new customers today? I worked a Saturday only once but picked up 4 new customers that morning.

Ian,

After having had that part of the conversation with a couple of customers who subsequenty forgot it and booked someone else because they thought I wasn't coming again, I suggest a quick call in four weeks (i.e. when they might be thinking you'redue) to remind them of what you said.

I work every Saturday, its part of my routine. Soon as I have got myself fired up enough this morning I am going out to do some that can't be done during the week because the parking is not allowed mon-sat.

You lot are just a bunch of part timers!

I work around 3 out of 4 Saturday afternoons. I have a handful of fortnightlies which get done then, plus any other odds and ends that need clearing up.

John.
