Tough night tonight, 2 of us out only got 6 jobs and 3 were 8weekly. 4x£10  2x15.
Everyone was out which made it very  hard,,, bloody sun!.
Still another step closer.

[Pro-Poler]

cheeses me off  soon there will be more window cleaners than customers

think you may be right

[roundbuilder]

He went out and did a collect last night as £288 had built up for the days he has done everyone he collected from here as happy as larry and said"see you next month".
Success!! Apart from the odd 1 off on the round every customer is fine and i think the fact that the pitch stating trying to build him a round up as has been made redundant realy hits a nerv with customers which has a positive effect with building a customer relationship as they are doing there bit to help him and he is doing he's bit to help them! A happy positive business circle being built and maintained, he even managed to get got 2 word of mouth customers already.
Living proof that there is loads of work out there if you go and find it and with the right approach business can boom and go from strengh to strengh. All this in under a month... Get in.

Cheers colin. Im glad someone can learn and get motivated from me.

Mick can I just say well done and like others I have found the post very interesting.
Can I just ask a quick question?
When you have others out canvassing for you how do you pay them? Is it a fixed rate for each job picked up or do you pay them after a first clean? This option may be a good one for us as we need more work but also have other jobs. Hoping to go full time at the window cleaning once we have enough work. Sooner rather than later hopefully.

Hi paul. When they canvass for me i pay them £5 per new customer as i have done a lot of the research and made notes of the houses that will have a better chance of getting etc. i pay them on the day usualy which helps keep them motivated. I dont ask them to replace any dropouts as normally they are realy good and at a minimum.. When canvassing for others i pay them a clean and a bonus if all there work sticks after the first cleans if any drop out they lose there bonus and have to replace the dropout on my round whilst id refund the cleaner we work for etc etc.
Best baving a team of canvassers as oposed to just 1 so they stick with it together and stay motivated.

Well there you go!
Do that for just a month(4 weekends) and you have yourself an extra 5k a year.

good work just wish I could do it hubbys no good looks like a debt collector 

[roundbuilder]

Not done any for the last week where had been doing many first cleans and sorting my own rounds into order but today we went out (3 of us)and gained 12 jobs, 5 were £20 1 was £30 and the other 6 were £10 fronts.
This round is coming together fast and strong, we are explaining to the new customers how my stepdad had been made redundant and desperate to get back out there working and still havnt lost 1, had a few go over to 8 weekly but am shocked that retention is so far 100 percent.
Just goes to show that planning and targetting the right areas you get to keep all the sweets!.
Now over half way complete.

[GB Window Cleaning]

Brilliant mick. very well done so far. i will be updating my own progress shortly.
