Thanks for the chat Lee, sorry I had to cut it short, a wee bit manic here at the moment.

[Klean07]

Good post this! Its always good to hear about success stories plus for me personally it gives me the extra motivation to continue growing my business!

[ashbash]

i always follow your posts and presumed you were smashing it. 11 vans and your turnover is 50 k. Either the girls in the office need sorting or your workers on the round are taking the pee.  All that stress and so many staff, customers to oversee and it sounds like at the moment your not making much more than some of the one man bands on here.  How can you have empty vans on the drive getting dusty, and staff in the office with access to probably 3000 plus recurring customers to up sell gutters, facias, pressure washing roof cleaning etc.  sounds like a guys target is about 200 notes a day.It may be ok for a one man band who has to look after everything but everything is in place for these lads. 
if you need a chat let me know, i do charge for this service though

Now you didnt read my posts properly.

I clearly said we do not have all our vans out, when we do our monthly will be £65k which is our goal this year. As for the rest yes of course we are on the phone selling other services.

well done Lee

i was just looking at your figures with revenue from gutters etc.  I did read the post properly. You have 11 vans and there not full so someone needs to pull there finger out to earn the boss more money.   I only replied on what you have put.   The turnover is low for the staff and motors you have in place.  I know 10k a month take home is a lot of money but it does not sound like your actually doing that at the minute. My point being theres a time to stop throwing money at something when you have so many staff and a bussiness in place to make you more without the investment but people just having a bit  more about them.
Pricing better
working harder
up selling work better
generating work from the large bussiness you have
tell the people who are meant to take the stress out of the bussiness to shape up
you probably think i am trying to dig but in reality a feel a little sorry for you if you have  given a home up, took massive steps back in life to make the future better and you have guys and girls taking the pee. Either that or your just to soft

Can we have a dislike button?

[CleanClear]

Let the hate begin.

What is "bad debt" , outstanding money or written off money?
What is  "expenses" ? Fuel ?
I've never seen that cleaner planner before so not sure if its crap or you're not putting in all the details. Not sure how its coming up with them "profits" , but one things for sure them stated "profits" will not be your actual accounting return. Its slighly meaningless without a lot more detail. Pretty impressive turnover though, but thats about the extent of it.

Your still not getting it!!!!!

WE DONT HAVE 11 VANS WORKING!  They are not all out doing £200 a day.! We have 3 to go out this year, everyone else is maxed out right now.

Again not reading the previous posts which answer this.

We do not use cleaner planner for accounting or expenses., so no that is not profit.

You have absolutly no idea what your talking about. Especially your last 2 sentences. Now re think your coments based on us cleaning with 8 vans out right now and marketing starting in april to get our last 3 out this summer. Once again when they are all out we will be at £65-£70k a month and I will take home the 10 previously mentioned. You feel sorry for me???

£10k take home for all that work isn't that amazing though tbh.

I agree.

120k per year take-home from 800k turnover doesn't seem that great when you think how much work is involved in getting there.

Domestic Window cleaning just doesn't scale that well.

[Slacky]

Lee, how long have you had the three vans surplus to requirement or have you not taken delivery of them yet?

Ahh, 10k a month would keep me happy.

[Marc Stock]

10k. After tax per month? Not good?

Are you lot serious?

10k a month after tax is bordering on financial freedom for alot of people.

Especially if you dont have to do anything for it. The business runs itself.

Ashbash and Tom 01 The numptometer is swinging up into the red for you guys.

But surely the point is that once you have reached it and allow the business to plateau for a while, it becomes much easier.  The work done in the past to get there is precisely that - in the past.

[Tom-01]

Don't get me wrong, £10k a month is a good wage. But for me from £800k a year turnover I would want/expect more than that.

Anyone would have to do quite a lot for it still. The stress may be a bit less but it wouldn't be gone. When its yours, everything stops with you. Hence why I personally would want to see more than £10k from £800k.

Have you 3000 custies?
If you could sell pressure washing to 15% - 450
at an average of £250 a pop
That’s £112,500
As you’ve got the van and the gear...get on it!
