Hi all. Just want to introduce myself as I'm along term lurker but finally bit the bullet and started up. Knocking doors last wkend and got 12 jobs all cleaned and get the impression will only keep 9. Hopefully will go as good this wkend. Also want to say thanks even with all the banter on here I have learnt a lot from you all.
Suffolkclean where in Suffolk are you if you don't mind me asking
following on from your other thread .
109 customers since january is really good.
great to see you are looking at things realistically
ie 12 jobs but only expect to keep 9
it is a numbers game . I sort of go on only keeping 70 % past 3 cleans . the other 30% may be bad payers , clean skippers etc .
they just need weeding out .
this is why it is so important to charge about 50% more on a first cl;ean , this way you will not lose out so much.
its always worth noting that customers can be trained once they realise that you wont bend to their every wish .
good luck
