« on: February 09, 2011, 11:27:50 am »
sorted out the wheat from the chaff!bad payers,dog muck minefields,pain in the bum access issues all dumped!!

i feel better already!! :D :D

im now left with 316 customers.a mixture of very compact 3 bedders,pockets of 4/5 bedders,granny flats,converted barns,big stand alone country houses and a few commercial.


got more room for better paying bigger jobs.plus i will have all the extra add on jobs soon with spring/ summer just around the corner.

Thats the way to do it, keep making your round leaner and more profitable as well as easier to do.

What's the point in dumping 25 customers poope or not it still has a resale value once sold on it isn't your problem
doesn't  sound like a good business decision to me!

I used to think exactly that.Once you reach capacity something has to give.

a mate of mine was a financial adviser with a large bank something he once said always stuck in my mind
never sell your assets unless you are consolidating your funds for a life on the beach or they have reached a point at which any financial gain cannot be guaranteed
ie sell you poope dont give it away

i was collecting today for last time from this serial bad payer  but as i walked away a neighbour called me over and i gained a new customer.  so that cloud really did have a silver lining !

You say never sell your assets and then say sell them, don`t give them away. Which one?

dont say that at all read again
keep unless a profit cannot be guaranteed-or sell if retiring for a  more comfortable life-

these customers ive dropped are scattered about here and there not compact!i have sold some work in the past that was in just one area for £1200.he lost the whole round within 3 months as he simply couldnt clean windows to an acceptable standard!

id just had enough of being messed about etc etc.

i feel better for doing it they were more of a liability than anything else!! ;) ;D ;D ;D

its a shame they couldnt be passed on to someone local starting out 25 custies even with a bit of grief is a good starting point
im sure they must have paid you up eventually or you wouldnt still have them
i know i would jump at the chance if i was up your way

You shouldn't sell bad customers. Why have that on your concience? Are you that desperate for money?

In a couple of months, somebody else out canvassing will pick them up and the cycle will start all over again.
