Do you think this will ever sell?
« on: December 06, 2013, 09:36:49 pm »
Hi All

Take a look at this round for sale:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg1v830kalrl73t/Photo%2006-12-2013%2021%2024%2042.png

I enquired about it - but got a reply saying that he won't sell to a WFP window cleaner as all the work is done traditionally.

I would say that this leaves him with a very small market to sell to - what do you think?

If someone had all the funds, im sure they would sell.

£2000 a week with the van and equipment chucked in surely is worth thinking about?

When someone says 1300 - 2000 a weak its usually the lower mark lol

That's my point though.  How many trad only window cleaners are there around with £65k to spend?

If a WFP window cleaner waved £65000 in front of him, my money would be on him selling. He prob hasent been taught/shown how good the results are with WFP.

That's two guys aswell.

Wonder how quick it would be with 1 WFP the tops and other doing ground floor.

Should cut a third of the time i think.

Do u think you will ever Wfp more Jonny , say the houses that have good ground floor windows for Wfp and are fairly high .
Or is it a case of managing your water ?

I have starred to Wfp more downstairs now just because it's easier to finish them off as my pole is out anyway .

I can see you getting a T300 transit soon !

Quite possibly mate.

At the minute it's more water conservation really. I WFP all ground floor that are Georgian or smaller panes.

I just like going out and not having to refill my tank.

Only got a baby caddy though. Would like a 650 tank.

I reckon it's a load of BS.

£1300 - £2 000 per week trad and just 3 people and one van? £430 to £660 per person per week. No price increase for 5 years?

Yeah.

Sure.

Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

600 customers, average house has at least 5 upstairs windows, so for each house you are going up and down a ladder 10 times.

So going up and down a ladder 2000 times a week isn't hard graft?

I would hate to work with you.lol

I wonder if the business is vat registered? If it's not that might explain the lack of recent price increases.

I do not believe if someone waived 65k under his nose he would say no as they are WFP LOL
