Phone calls anyone

Just wondering if anyone is seeing an increase in phone calls of late or is it rather poor  ?

steady trickle of existing customers wanting conny roofs cleaned,fascias,solar panels etc but new window cleaning jobs?totally dried up!!! :( :(

i think its a combination of the bad weather,more people struggling and loads more window cleaners in my area.

ill be canvassing and leafleting some huge houses near where i work soon as i want some bigger jobs to fill in the gaps.now ive got a 40ft pole it broadens my scope of work i can take on! ;) ;D ;D ;D

a couple were from customers dying, I have had 7 so far, the other were 2 contracts, one should of ended in january so I got 6 months extra, which is a bonus, the other was a re-tender of a contract, again this sort of thing happens.

but on the whole more customers are coming fprward than I am losing, the 2 contracts where big ones to be fair.
