Hi everyone I wanted to share this tip with you because in my opinion it works every time. We did a job last week for a regular customer with a add on of a conservatory roof clean. After a few days no payment received so I sent them a message but no response then a couple of days after another without any response so today I've sent them a message to say that I'm going round there later. Guess what? Within seconds a text came back saying there was a confusion between her and her hubby and she's just paid!!

Fair enough but that's probably the last time you clean for them after that.

Double bonus then.
Paid and a messer dumped.

I have a simple method. I just post a card saying the balance at the next clean. Still don't pay then I dodge them and block their number. Too busy with time vampires because my time is my most precious asset. One of my customer's has just had a baby and I understand how busy she is so I don't mind her paying every 2 cleans.

One of mine had a baby this week and I told her to use my £18. to buy a nice bottle of wine or something for the baby.
The nicer you are to people the more work you get. Did you see what I did there? 😀

Yeh, you lost yourself £18

Poor baby is an alcoholic already 🫤

2 cleans if you have a baby rule, i will have to implement that sounds smart business sense.

In the end I have about 1% of my customer base that I have a problem collecting. No big deal.
