If a customer asked me to clean the insides and I had to say "No sorry I don't know how to use a squeegee." I would look a complete prat and rightly so.

Just work out the dates so the custys have a rough idea of when youll be starting them.this is the best advice on here. business is all about sales, so the sooner you get some clients booked in, the sooner you'll get cash. its very easy to spend money on your business with the promise of future rewards.stop 'planning' and start getting some clients. otherwise you re in danger of being a dreamer.you can book cleans in up to 4 weeks in advance without problems.good luck.

as i said before i will never trad anything, so don't need to learn.if i can't do it WFP then i am not interested, i want to work the way thats easiest for me.and after a year and a half i haven't needed to trad anything.
I have been a self employed windy since 2001 wfp since 2005 but was still tradding bottoms until about a year ago!
May have something to do with....it works

i dont think it matters really but it is a bit odd that you all seem to be bragging about NOT having a skill that most w/c have & saying if you got a good round you dont need trad makes no sense at all your turning away easy dry work & saying thats good business
And when the custy wants the insides doing ,of which could be your best custy.Theyhave to look else where,and i bet that the windy who trads the insides will try and quote for the outside = oppurtunity for lost work,i dont know any who work this way.So you get the oppurtunity to quote for very large job good money and because you dont want to trad do you think the custy will want to mess about and find 2 different windys. Most wont .

Its not competition if they dont want the work.... Most domestic cleaners that I have met dont do many insides, but each to their own.I would suggest if someone chooses not to trad or do internals then its their business decision, I would also suggest its not your right to brand them not a proper window cleaner..... Its disrespectful, unless things change this place will die cos its all just name calling and one upmanship at the moment.....If anyone dares to say something a little out of the ordinary its jumped on and ripped to pieces....
I do just fine thank you....
Why would you ever need to even learn trad skills if you had wfp? I dont see why but am willing to be educated...
