Been in biz for 10 weeks now, canvasing as often as poss, got 57 custys at moment. Been caught out a few times though, by charging normal prices for filthy first cleans then the custy says they will call me when they need them done next time, really annoying.
I also have a few that I think I have underpriced and take a lot longer than I thought, so I am trying to learn from mistakes but always worried when I quote a new job that they might think I'm asking too much and wont get the job.
Also been caught in the bad weather, got drenched a couple of weeks ago so had to clean the next day, so wondering what will happen when I have a full round and get behind.
Lots of problems that you dont realise before you get started, but enjoying the work at the moment, dont know if I will be saying that when we get to the winter though.
Canvasing can be a bit soul destroying but you never know what will come next, took 5 hours to get my first customer then 20 minutes to get the next two.
Does all this sound familiar?
Also wondering, when and if I get to a couple of hundred customers should I be looking to go WFP system?
