Do you do much regular window cleaning then Slacky?

[james peters]

still gaining new customers here .
one cancelation in september one gone from 4 weekly to 8 weekly

gained around a dozen in the last month without looking, so still a steady flow coming in

[DJW]

No difference yet. Still picking up work.
But then the weather has been very mild and most customers who chat are well in credit with their energy bills at the moment.

[Smudger]

All good here - feels a little quiet but thats because we have 7 staff now so its not manic like when we were short staffed last year.

3 to 4  new windows  jobs per week coming in
some big building cleans

lost 1 new one when I said here daughter lived to far away to be on the round 

otherwise roll on Christmas

Gained 11 this month and lost 1 .
Long term monthly customer started being a pain in the arse back in January asking me to rearrange cleans because his dogs on it’s own in the house and it’ll bark 😕. I have a few days work round there so wasn’t too much of an issue…. The 4th time he asked me I just said sorry but I can’t do this anymore so we kinda mutually agreed to end the cleaning.

No nothing has changed ,enquiries are down on normal but still getting regular window work plus unusually picked up 4 reasonable sized softwashing jobs and the usual gutter vac jobs for this time of year , all is rosy on the horizon at the moment .

Yea. Window cleaning is probably 70% of what I do currently.

About the same as me then.

[EandM]

Still none.

Am I doing this right?

[Jay Le Huray]

Apart from culling about 10 jobs recently (rubbish customers) I have lost 2 due to cost of living going up and 1 old lady who passed on, but on a positive I've taken on many more from Facebook  (see previous thread)
So all is okay at the moment.

[Shrek]

Still none.

Price is a big factor, maybe your too cheap . Didn’t you say £200 a day for builders cleans??

[AuRavelling79]

October is going to be shhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[EandM]

Only if they're easy ones.
We did one for £1600 which prompted a rethink.
You raise a good point though.

Can't be arsed to read the whole thread but..... any ambition I ever had regarding window cleaning, died years ago. I don't need it, I turn down 90%+ of all new enquiries, in fact, I don't even answer my phone anymore if I don't know who the caller is! Work keeps pouring in regardless, to the point that I'm considering pulling my website off the net. I've got myself into a really nice, comfortable position and window cleaning has provided me with this luxury through thick and thin. I'm not a braggart so won't entertain willy waving but..... my advice is  not to worry too much. If you can clean windows proficiently, then you'll always have a roof over your head and food on the table... at the veary least!😎👌

It must be area and competition dependent.

My websites rank top for my area but I don’t get tonnes of new work like some.

There are a ridiculous amount of window cleaners round my way, so it’s much harder to get cream work.

In fact I’m genuinely shocked how few softwashing jobs I get, given I was the first in my area to offer the service and have a dedicated website.

i used to get a lot of softwashing jobs a few years ago, it’s now just 1 or two a month through summer. Nothing has changed, still ranking top with lots of 5 star reviews. It’s very odd.

Guessing others are a lot cheaper than you , they have jumped on the bandwagon and competing with each other on price , bit like WFP years ago , we have just picked up 4 softwashing jobs very strange at this time of year .

I reckon the slow down in enquiries through my website is mostly down to Facebook. Facebook seems to be the first port  of call nowadays for people looking to employ someone’s services. If I were trying to build a round I would probably advertise on Facebook. As it is I have enough work to keep me as busy as I want to be and the steady trickle of work I gain from walk ups and recommendations more than makes up for any work I lose.
