Windows too clean!!!!
«

Just recently I have had several customers putting me off as their windows are still clean.The customer this morning went from monthly to 6 weeks.
For me this is just about the most annoying frustration!!
Im wondering whether to stop using any cleaning fluid and just clean with water so they get dirtier quicker.
Any thoughts?

I've had customers like that, next thing they'll want to cut it back to 2 monthly or they'll say "not this time". When you drop them in favor of your more regular customers who do want clean windows all year round, they'll be complaining that they can't find a reliable window cleaner. Just remind them that you too favor reliable customers, after all you've invested the time and effort to drive there just to be turned away.

explain what gg4 is all about to the customer, if they want windows to be dirty in 3 weeks then best they get a fairy using window cleaner. personaly i have told customers about gg4 and what it does and the customers are happy with the results. i dont let the customer mess me about as it shows an unprofessional manner.

Sometimes we give customers too much choice. Its often better to tell them how its hoing to be rather than giving them options.
In this case I'd have said, sorry but its monthly or nothing.
You have to be straight with them or they'll take the mick

If you are in the road monthly then 6 weekly is a special visit. Tell em it's 50% more!

I thought our job was to KEEP the windows clean rather than just do them when the customer thinks they need it.
Tell the 6 weekers you`ll do them every 6 weeks if you can fit them in.Then leave them for a while and say you`re too busy doing your REGULAR customers to do theirs. I think they `ll soon change their minds. If not your better off without them.
I`ve heard of WC`s getting stick for leaving dirty windows but not because they are too clean!
We can`t win can we.
