All these undercuting threads make me laugh.. On another thread a guy though it wasnt fair that he lost a £60 inside and out job... Im sorry but if i canvassed that house and they said they have a window cleaner but think he is very dear id offer them a price and if i got the job happy days, i dont see There is anything wrong with that at all. Business is business. If you price right and do a good job then the chance of losing customers becomes minimal. Who cares anyway for every lost customer is another waiting.
Anyone can start up a windowcleaning business! It isnt rocket science, for a newbie i can see why they would undercut to get the work, trouble is by going on to low they are mugging themselfs up.
I dont agree with leafletting saying anyhouse £5 which happens a lot round my way but like i say do a good job and price reasonable and customers will stay loyal to us.
