Thank you for the kind words. Not sure if I was the first person in the UK to start WFP on domestics, but I certainly caused a storm doing so with a lot of people telling me customers would never accept WFP and wet windows. Imagine there surprise when they did and even better when I did them in all weather and charged them a min £10 to do so. Amazing.. Had a few people thank me over the last few years with the min £10. Pricing is very important, your not there to earn the same kind of money when you where working for some one so that £10-£15 per hr might be more than what you was earning in the factory but as business is not very good at all.
I don’t use them car window wiper things
, I don’t thing I know how too. Thou some will say I am not a proper window cleaner. But hay I don’t care.
Yes I did a talk at NEC in 2006 and had a fully packed house with loads of people standing in the arena as a lot of the seats where taken, was a write up in the professional window cleaner magi, I did get paid for the talk (£50) that was donated to the NSPCC.
As for Business well just invested £10k into a brand new van with another system in it (that’s the 2nd van now), business is very good at the moment and this area is totally full of window cleaners, just goes to show do a totally professional job and use the best right equipment for the job and your 90% of the way there. Thou to get there you need to be very hard working, focussed totally committed otherwise you might as well give up now.
As Jeff has pointed out Rain water Harvesting is nothing new, I started a project on the subject in July 2006 just over 1 year ago now, I have many other projects planned for the future with one that I am really looking forward too is my Referral system that will be trailed within the next 2 months (then rolled out across the board) within a area that on paper looks like a real success story. Plus many more in there early stages and some that are distance thoughts all written down on paper, all ready to be developed.
Many Thanks
Justin
