hi guys

the thing is he gets £10 hour with the other bloke he works for and i used to get the same and we have been doing 9/10 hours in a day but i have been doing my other customers after and before i sart so havent done too bad although i am exhausted .

the thing is he is a good cleaner and works hard , i think 100 is too much too but we agreed on it i have last day tomorow just half day , with the work ihave done this week i have made from tuesday

£1920 and £400 on labor so still made £1520i dont do that in a month.

shawn

So that's around £1500 after paying the other guy and you are doing around 50 hours work for it???
That's about £30 an hour turnover for your own labour/ equipment etc.  That sounds OK even allowing for the higher overheads of WFP over traditional.
Good job Shawn.

So you should be mate - well done! And paying your bro-in-law £100 per day is a fair rate for both of you. So everyone should be happy! Result!

Now - see your contact asap and ask when (not if) he/she wants to schedule the next clean. When they set a date you know they're satisfied. If not find out why and sort out any niggles.

Then ask whether you send the invoice direct to accounts or to him/her first. And then explain you have wages to pay up front and is there any chance they can move it along quickly?

Say thank you and wait for the dosh! ;D
It's a game of three halves!

Shawn

I normally bill schools direct and they normally pay in 2 weeks at the most .
schools more than anything i find is to be cleaned just before term starts .and if you can deliver that ,they are usually happy and leave you alone .i increase 15-20% a year and have no comebacks at all . i have been doing them for 6 years  ;) ;)
