not looking for a battle here but how many customers do you think a one man band can be safe and have a really good round with i have 327 and 52k a year on 4 or 8 weekly 15 ish a house what do you guys think i would be a lot happier on 340 houses

[Tom White]

what do you guys think i would be a lot happier on 340 houses

Why do you think an extra 13 houses will make you a "lot happier"?

I think happiness isn't contained in having an extra 13 customers; I'm sure there's been window cleaners with more work than they can shake a stick at still as miserable as sin.

[Michael Peterson]

lol Tosh i know desire is suffering but im sure 340 customers would make me feel a little better at the mo ;-)

[Michael Peterson]

plus i didnt know i was so close :-) 13 doesnt seem that far off at all, i just know dazmond has 340 and hes my hero

[bobplum]

maybe 300 customers and 65k a year? would make you happier

[simonr]

if your not happy on 52k a year  you've got no chance

[formb]

plus i didnt know i was so close :-) 13 doesnt seem that far off at all, i just know dazmond has 340 and hes my hero

Dazmond is EVERYONE'S hero.

[Michael Peterson]

its not 30k 40k or 100 k i just feel vunerable getting n e where near to under 300 customers and dazmond is my hero in every way ;-)

[Michael Peterson]

bob plum indeed that would make me loads happier however more scared at the smae time for going under 300

[Roy Harding]

I only have 143 jobs to do on average a month and there are 4 of us.

So you must be doing well.

Roy

[Michael Peterson]

[dave0123]

Shut up mate lol... 52k a year! You have the perfect round by the sounds of it. Fair play too ya.

[Ian101]

i rekon thats about it for 1 man being realistic and not working into an early grave

[roundbuilder]

I have over 500 customers on each of my rounds but thankfully 1 round is all fronts and the other is a mixture of the rest both realy good rounds though, mainly 4 weekly schedule.

[bobplum]

bob plum indeed that would make me loads happier however more scared at the smae time for going under 300

its the value of the round not the quantity that makes the money

you could 250 customers a month,clean them in 3 weeks have a week off and still earn 52k

you need to work on getting your averages up

ian101 is good at this he continually refines his round just today he gave away 2 customers and dumped a £25.00 bi monthly job because they dragged his hourly rate down

[Afterglow Window Cleaners]

When life is all about money its time to reset your goals, I get more satisfaction from talking to some of my old dears and making their day, than earning an extra few quid

[Tom White]

its not 30k 40k or 100 k i just feel vunerable getting n e where near to under 300 customers and dazmond is my hero in every way ;-)

Roy doesn't feel vulnerable having a measly 140 customers (his poverty disgusts me), so 'feeling vulnerable' can't be in how many customers we have.  The problem isn't the number of customers, it's the 'feeling vulnerable' and that exists in your head.

[Dave Willis]

I remember when I started out and only earn't 50k a year. You'll improve as time goes on and work will pick up eventually. Don't worry about it.

[Michael Peterson]

Tosh, you have made me think there my friend, i am always paniking when i get to like 328 and then canvass and bit and then go down to 328 again, but my takings are pretty much the same always in fact they have never gone down only up over the years , i think you may be right as the insecurities are inmyslef thanks
