Van should be fixed tomorrow, new rad £156.  Just got a call from customer i cleaned for yesterday, daughter had been sick in bedroom, this time the dog has been sick, at least should pay some way towards the cost.  So far Feb is looking very good as newbie, already got around 5 jobs booked.

Mark,

I'm really pleased for you. I have to confess, I get lazy some times and what you did is great.

I read a brilliant sales book by Tom Hopkins (How to master the art of selling).

He makes a point that it's much easier to get out there and do something when your back is against the wall. He says the real money is made when you apply that approach when things are going well. I guess I get a bit idle when things are going OK.

Def finding that Gary,just booked one from my flyer drop,£180 worth of work,was well worth the 3 hours dropping flyers,my diary is looking good next week now,got 2 more quotes this arvo,one 5 bed eot,and a commercial office quote,then start my job that i called on the off chance at 5.30 this eve.
Waiting one one i quoted last night to get back.
Had a call this morning from an Indian guy i quoted £55 for 2 bedrooms,he said he ahad another company out to quote they were saying £50 and could i  match it,said no sorry,he still booked me !! Not until march that one though...
Bounced 2 payments too Yell,so just called them and paid some off,it`s them and the tax man who are my main priority at the mo ,going to take a while before I am back in the black I think

I've actually booked one in for 21/03 which I think is a record for me.
Booked it 2 weeks ago as well.

Well won't get my van back till tomorrow as the part failed to arrive. But I have had my busiest day since starting back in August, done 5 quotes today and booked them all so with work already booked for Feb I am booked for the first 2 weeks of Feb, with just a shade under £1,000 of worked booked.

RE: paying the In Rev....a year or two back i was chatting to them about an overpayment i made, andf i joked "....and do i get any interest on that overpayment?..."   she said "we don't pay interest anymore 'cos we found companys were overpaying by thousands and we were giving a better interest rate than the bank...!!!"  i wish i could think like that!!!! :o
