went on my round today one of my cussttys come out to say someone had put i card threw his door asking if they wanted there windows done,cut the story short this has happened to me twice same guy his first year in window cleaning,i have phoned him up calling him all the swear words under the sun,claims he can just do what he wants,i have had my patch for 16 year now for him to do this it is classed as poaching ,i have told him he has got to buy in to a window cleaning business its the way it works,he disagrees now things are going to nasty by this i mean fists are going to be flung about, why wont to listen to how window cleaning works ,other windy mates have come to agreement,someone cancels with me and approaches them fare does (vicea versa)
I think you have gone about this the wrong way.
By phoning him sounds like he now knows exactly who you are and will more than likely shop you to the cops for harrassment.
You should have remained anonymous, hand written warnings to back off left on his windscreen.
If he didn't take the warning you could step it up,
dogs mess on door handles, slashed tyres etc. will put the fear of god in to him. He'll begin to realise its not worth all the grief and will stay out your way. Works every time.

Quite often in some areas I work, I get informed by my customers that other windies are out trying to undercut my work, I don't worry as I do a good job for a sensible price.
Had work lossed occasionally to undercutters and got them asking to come back again, but won't take back messers.
I take some work off other wfp' ers and trad's as basically they're rubbish or unreliable.
I'm behind with my work this month owing to a bereavement in the family and a road accident and I'm getting even further behind with new work request (large jobs), will get round to fitting them on my round when I get the chance to get back to normality.
I chat with other windies whilst working, I pass on inside work to a couple women who clean insides and ironing and in return they mention me to some folk, don't see it as competition, just clever networking.
If you feel bitter about other windies nicking your work then do as some do on here and become selfish and never contribute to this forum and exaggerate your hourly rate of pay forgetting to mention or the negatives of being self-employed and running costs to encourage yet more competiton from more wannabe newbies bored and suicidal living on the minimum wage

If this is a serious post then you need to give your head a wobble.
who goes around hanging dog shi* on door handles, and slashing van tyres.... Only
Cowards do that ??? If I caught anyone damaging my property I would cut their fingers off! If you have a problem over something go round and see them you girl, not running around at night.

If you have been trading as a window cleaner for 25years you really would not be bothered about some one putting a card through your customers door.

If your good at what you do ,price your work well and are established you should be snowed under with work.
