Post by: GmeisterW on January 12, 2014, 03:29:45 pm
Having aquired alot if new work, have had a few cancel(about a handful maybe just a little more) because they can clean the windows themself with a hosepipe)!

So ignorant..one else get this, ofcourse I explain I use pure water but at that point they dont care lol.

Lol had one cancel recently who said her husband now cleans them with the power washer and she wouldn't be needing us any longer. Again tried explaining the pure water situation but like talking to a brick wall  ::)roll
Obviously they don't appreciate what we do.

Well, wait a few months, then they'll call you back to try and remove all the limescale that's all over the windows. Good luck with that if they leave it too long though.

Good job there's still millions of potential customers out there eh?  ;)

Graham, if you've just started up, you'll experience a higher percentage of customers who'll mess you about, than what you will once you've been at it longer.

As time goes on you lose/drop the negative customers and your round will grow to have mostly decent customers.

You think its expensive employing a professional? Try employing an amateur.


They'll learn.

The problem with being dumb is you do not know you a thick. Its the same when you ask. Write all you know about a subject.If you write just one word you will be right and yet still dumb. ;D ;D ??? ???
