eeeeeeeerrrrrrr sorry poleman but i know of several who havnt stuck it out round here with wfp. Went back to ladders cos couldnt handle the time it took or the lost customers. It doesnt work on all windows which is the hassle i will have, but im going to get a trolley system soon cos i dont like thinking im not fitting in with the law. Hope my 17 yr round and my income doesnt suffer  ::)

What Andy says here is so important - it is the key to changing your customers over - tell 'em in writing before you do it - tell 'em when you do it and tell 'em firmly and politely you ain't going back.
It's a game of three halves!

Rick, it should have been "Water-fed pole will kill our traders" ;D

HAHAHA i like it... i like it...

poleman.......

thats a tough question... i said in the "will WFP kill our traders" thread :) im not in the WFP hate gang the WFP would not be as popular as it is now if it didnt clean windows, BUT i just have this thing in my head that says "how can you be sure you have cleaned it if you cannot see it" then there is the time thing, learning how to use the d**n thing, i mean im hearing stories of people cleaning with WFP then fetching the ladder off the motor to get on this roof and do that.... it just seems a bit to much hasle pipes everwere and wot-not.... i know on the other end of the stick you guys have said you havent had to take the ladder off the car for like 3 weeks with the WFP...

ok ok you got me its doing the extra windows above conservatorys  :( :'( :'( :-[ :-X i just could not handle that doing extra windows thing .....HAHAHA only kidding but no  really it just seems to much hassle and the worry of loosing customers to it... it takes times to build up a GOOD round and im very funny about anything destroying that as it feeds me and my kids every night...

but no im not a WFP HATE member... i supose it just boils down to gutts... but i would rather have £££ :D



Your post is exactly how i felt before the changeover.
I`m not a 100% WFP worker. Probably 80% pole 20 trad.

Having just started with WFP myself I got to thinking, if all the anti WFP guys are right then people will soon be beating a path to their door.
If traditional wc is so superior then they will be able to offer a premium service for top dollar prices. I wouldn't hold my breath though. DAI
