I don't like windows anymore so turn down new work all year round.

[dazmond]

same as franky.any new work will be cleaned in january.looking after regular customers(some as long standing as 20 years)is top priority.

i picked up a £30 job yesterday.i could fit her in next week but id rather have some time off xmas shopping.

i had an ex customer who ive not cleaned for around 5 years now approach me the other day as well.her windows are absolutely filthy!she said "do you think you can clean our windows as a one off?"i said "yeah no problem but itll have to be in jan as im too busy at the moment".she just walked off!

if your new or not well established and you need more work clean everything in sight!!i did!

Your not going to get 2 vans out full with work unless you do round build whenever you get the chance.
9 out of 10 customers yiu pick up in december wont be after just an xmas clean and to find out who say you wont be able to clean them untill new year! If they are fine with you saying that then say actually i can squeeze you in this month... Job done.
You should be leafletting/canvassing every chance you get if you are serious about growing. As rocky balboa would say and what i use for everything i do, have the "eye of the tiger" and stay focused untill you have reached your goal!.

yes if they wait until the new year then they are going to be good customers

Good time of year?
Bad time of year?
I think it should be good.

i bunker down for the winter

[telfordwindowclnr]

I'm building for next Spring.  Writing solar panel cleaning articles for publishing in various solar magazines. This drives a decent amount of fresh traffic to the website, raises awareness of the need for cleaning, people then ring and enquire about the service and we get the jobs booked in.  Not sure how I'm going to get my windows done or driveways cleaned in May due to having virtually everyday booked with solar.

Plant in the winter to reap in the summer.........

Surely we are all Always building business, I went to upgrade phone today, walked out with the new phone and the windows for the shop, just picked up 2 from facebook. I never stop asking looking. Don't tend to canvas at the mo, were full capacity, but can always fit in the odd one or two.

200 leaflets out yesterday. 4 regulars in the bag today... Any time is a good time for work... But it is my first year and Im desperate for work... 

[paul ette]

4 people out of 200 leaflets is great, I delivered 1000s and didn't get that

[harunh]

Im picking up around 12-16 new customers per week

The customers that u pick up in the winter are the best customers

A week?! Fair play to you fella.

Yep this time last year  i had 140 customers and now i got 425... its all about marketing your business in the correct way

[Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny)]

4 people out of 200 leaflets is great, I delivered 1000s and didn't get that

[Ian101]
