Anyone picking up work/new customers in December?

[Nathanael Jones]

If you're not then you're doing something wrong - - I've been getting calls for the last 2 weeks,... and I haven't cleaned windows for 18 months now! All my advertising, website etc is down & I'm still getting calls!

[deeege]

Quite a few connie/gutter cleans but I don't take on new domestics in December for obvious reasons. (Although I've just done a £70 first clean but this was for a long time customer in her new house)

[Jack Harris]

yeah 

[Nathanael Jones]

I always found I had to push my advertising in Jan & Feb - but December I was always flat out & usually had my schedule fully booked to busting point before the month even began.

Its becoming annoying all the people that want cleaning. I might have to work a couple of Saturdays this month.:-)

Tends to go quiet here this time of year with the phone and busy in the new year with gutters. Then crazy onwards throughout the spring, to the point of puling your hair out.

Always has been that way. Saying that picked up two new ones this week - £100 8 weekly between them. Off out to price gutter job in 10 mins.

Last day I was out I made my mind up whilst working that I'm not taking anyone on in December. 2 minutes later woman comes up "are you the window cleaner and can you do mine" I laughed and she said I stopped my previous window cleaner as he used dirty water.

Its a very small bungalow same as one round the corner at £7.00, so I asked her is there anything built on the back "oh there's a wee (she's making shoe box size hand gestures) it's small not many windows"
I said I'll have a look and surprise surprise a big feck off cony. How much did he charge? She says £5.00 for the lot.
Bye bye.
I was told that someone jacked it as he had transport issues and I have recently picked some up but the day is too short just now so I don't really want any.

Think she's cursed me as I've been off wed/thur/fri with a throat infection and temperature

Had a few calls this week from people wanting there yearly clean for a fiver,
Safe to say I won't be the one don't them

Had a few this week approach me ... latest one "can I have a card ... when you back on the estate" .... tells her January .... "oh will leave it thanks"  

few emails asking for prices and when can I do them ... just reply by saying need to see house to give price so please reply with your address but cant fit you in until January ............ not had any replies yet  

quoted a house back in October for a monthly or bimonthly £18 or £26 .. no one home so left quote thru door ... 3 weeks later they text me saying go ahead when can you do it .... replies with do you want monthly or bimonthly ... heard nowt back .... she texts me today asking when am I calling to do the windows ... tells her I was waiting for her to reply to my text about frequency .... "don't want regular cant I just text you when I want them doing ??"   ..... replied with yes no problem but for that service price is £50 ..... funny enough she still aint replied  


aiming to finish on Friday 19th so no time for newbies this month

Picked up two neighbours in a small hamlet in the countryside where houses start at 500k, they are genuine, rest can feck off in the towns until new year.

i also never take on new customers in december.too busy looking after my regulars.most are just looking for a xmas clean.

[SeanK]

There's a guy that has quit in my area and I'm getting all his customers but to be honest I haven't time
to do them all before Christmas so most will have to wait until the new year.

[Frankybadboy]

Get some vision in your water and you will manage the new customers before Christmas no problem, in fact you will probably be out canvassing looking to take on more work   Go on, take the plunge, you will wonder how you ever managed to clean windows with just pure

Had a few, but me thinks they are taking the micky and wanting them clean for Christmas. Quoting high
