all new jobs are going on 8 weekly at a good price with frames/sills/doors cleaned as standard.ALL WFP!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 a lot of my round is very compact and is 4 weekly but im changing the frequency on new work as i can charge more and wfp will keep em cleaner longer!!!

when i started i offered 4 or 8 weekly but far too many went for 8 weekly , and it took me  alot longer to build the round , so i would say go for 6 weekly , the round will grow quicker , obviously if you go for monthly it will be even quicker , however personally i,ve found that the longer the cleaning frequency the more likely they will stick around regards alan

I offer monthly or bi-monthly for my local area (which I canvassed first) and 6 weekly for my outer areas. Wish I had only offered 6 weekly full stop from the outset as most if not all my 6 weekly's are very happy with this. In one of my 6 weekly areas I started offering the option of monthly or bi-montly as well, That was mental as I ended up going to the same street (sometimes next door) within a couple of weeks. Soon changed them to 6 weekly!!

Seem to be getting a lot of 8 week customers at the moment ... as I just starting out Im not going to turn them down.

however thinking about it driving home tonight so long as I charge a few quid more than a 4 weekly clean eventually I can do twice as many customers than a 4 weekly round but bringing in a higher average. ??

Does this sound right or am I missing something ... its been a long tiring day  :'(

I realise going have to canvass a lot of customers but all part of the job.

ive seen your cleaning pal and you wont last a week never mind 8 lol
lots of luv
bob ;D

i think 6 weeks will be the future as it is a good length of time to be coming back to clean the windows

when it was trad only every 2 weeks was fine, then 4 weeks with wfp, but this seem to come around to soon for me, as i collect the week after i have done the windows and it seem that i am always cleaning the same windows

well priced 6 week work, is the future lol
